    Another Dark Green 70 Polara, But a Nice One Again..................

    A friend of mine is attending the Hershey Show today and sent me this photo as one of the C bodies that he knows I do like. These cars are still out there but they are very hard to find but the recent ones all seem to be dark green ! ?

    Meet Buttercup, a 1972 New Yorker Brougham 2-door Hardtop

    Elwood Engle and his design staff back in the early 70s sure knew how to design outstanding vehicles and both of these reflect that excellence and the engineers also achieved the best ride/handling characteristics of them all in my view. Those two examples reflect that reality and you also own...

    Meet Regina FQ3, a 1970 Polara convertible who turns 51 today

    You really know how to make a great car in the beginning even much better with that choice of new convertible top color and a nice set of road wheels too. Super!

    Meet Regina FQ3, a 1970 Polara convertible who turns 51 today

    What have you done to Regina since you acquired her in terms of appearance - or was the paint, for example, that good when you got her? Top looks new and it looks like Road Wheels were added or maybe it came with them when you took ownership as well? You know that is one of my favorite colors...

    Need a Radiator for my 73 New Yorker

    If you live in Southern California a very good source of great radiator recoring is Fontana Radiator service. From what I have observed with my excellent Glen Ray Radiators, this shop uses the same cores as Glen Ray and they are the best cores available. I want the best because as you must...

    MrMopar goes Topless

    That is good news since I am planning to need mine redone in the not too distant future on my 1969 Monaco 2 door hardtop - yours reflects that Just Dashes had improved compared to what I have seen in the past.

    1969-73 Plymouth Sport Suburban body side wood grain decals and headliner availability??

    There are still many wrecking yards throughout the country that will remove parts and ship them to you, so you should look up some that specialize in Mopars or at least carry them in their yards. The better yards are generally in the Southern U.S. where rust is not really a big issue. Just be...

    MrMopar goes Topless

    Unless your Monaco came with that dashpad, could you tell us where you got the correct one with the stitching going across the top? Last time I looked ABC Moparts did not make that version, so I am guessing that Just dashes might have done yours? If so, they are doing much better than what I...

    1969-73 Plymouth Sport Suburban body side wood grain decals and headliner availability??

    Yes, I not too long ago converted my headliner from the perforated hard board to the vinyl version that mimics the 1972 or 73 headliners placed in these wagons from then on from the factory. My installer said it fit pretty good but he had to stretch it a little bit to fit at the very rear but...

    Wondering where I can buy one of these.... whatever it's called....

    I checked all the most likely sources that might have that part number nos and no one that I have used in the past seems to have it in stock................................so straightening seems like your best option.

    BBTR #09 - what a record-setting blast!

    Are we talking this car, @ayilar? That's the same 300 convertible in 2020 (above) and 2024 (below). What surprises me the most about this show is that Chrysler models alone (not including Imperial either), totaled 36 vehicles and all the rest combined totaled only 28! It sure wouldn't have...

    Tilt / telescopic column with rimblow wheel

    Your vehicle looks like it has plenty of miles on it based on the condition of the interior or maybe significant sun exposure over time. Those columns were filled with plenty of plastic parts that don't do well in such environments. You might want to check with this column rebuilding company...

    What Lower Radiator Hose do Forum Members Use for 1971 Imperial Lebarons?

    Well, after a couple days of searching it appears none of the options for a molded hose has yielded results - all the Gates and other options have failed to yield the proper hose - like they have all been gone for some time now. I did find one of the Gates 20623 hoses but the seller wanted a...

    What Lower Radiator Hose do Forum Members Use for 1971 Imperial Lebarons?

    Thanks folks for all the comments. It looks like I will go with the @ceebuddy and @Imperial Pete recommendations based on results with the latter's 1971 Imperial with sunroof that is beautifully restored to what looks to me like better than new. I was only able to find the Gates 20623 from...

    What Lower Radiator Hose do Forum Members Use for 1971 Imperial Lebarons?

    I have not been able to find a molded lower radiator hose that actually fits on my 1971 Imperials from any source - many are claimed to fit my cars but none actually works. The ones I have tried will either interfere with the power steering pump or block the oil filter installation. Any...

    Does Anyone Have an NOS or Really Good Backup Light Assembly for a 1972-3 Imperial

    Also, I have asked George to send me the first two reproductions that I needed so I can show the final product by itself and also one of them mounted to one of my two cars before I finalize the number of lenses that he would need to make. So if the prices have deterred anyone from buying the...

    Does Anyone Have an NOS or Really Good Backup Light Assembly for a 1972-3 Imperial

    That certainly makes sense to me and if any other orders can be bundled, please let me know as anything that makes this shipping effort much easier would help all of us and George.

    Does Anyone Have an NOS or Really Good Backup Light Assembly for a 1972-3 Imperial

    One other thought is to not order more than 3 of them at a time given the price reduction and if you get the them in a timely manner then go ahead and order more if you need more than three. This situation is what it is so don't make any gambles if you can't afford to lose the funds. You know...

    Does Anyone Have an NOS or Really Good Backup Light Assembly for a 1972-3 Imperial

    After helping him a great deal with getting a title for a couple of Formal wagons he was going to ship to Australia and other help in getting some NOS parts for him and sending them to him in Australia as well plus having a major stroke almost 2 years ago he has been very helpful to me in return...

    Does Anyone Have an NOS or Really Good Backup Light Assembly for a 1972-3 Imperial

    I had a long discussion with George on the cost of each lens yesterday and his input was that he made the molds for the backup lenses using very high quality silicone that is quite expensive and also only used the highest quality resins to make the plastic lens that he has to import from the...
