Like the title says - what's the maximum metal thickness I'd encounter working on a 60's Chrysler? 1/4"? 3/8"? More? I'm just learning to weld, and looking to buy a simple welder. This is a hobby, and I probably won't use it often. I don't ever plan to make a living from this skill, and I'm not...

While looking for various replacement rubber parts for my '63, I came across this: Steering Gear Tube Insulator | 1958-1964 Mopar Cars | Andy Bernbaum Auto Parts My car came from the Southwest, and a lot of my rubber bits aren't great as a result. I probably should replace this, and it's not...

Like the title says. Last spring I was in Tucson, AZ, for vacation. I took a day trip to wander around Desert Valley Auto Parts in Casa Grande and had a wonderful experience. Next year I'm visiting the Grand Canyon and I'd like to do something like that again. We just don't have places like that...

Does anyone know how to determine if the REAR height of a 1961-63 Imperial is correct? I'm trying to figure out if my rear leaf springs are worn out. I like the way the car sits, visually, but yesterday I scraped the frame on a speedbump when I had 3 adults in the back seat. Same bump never...

Background Like the title says, I have a 1963 Imperial Custom that's pretty much stock. It has a dealer-installed Mopar AC from the 1960s, and I have added a CD player, some modern aux gauges, and a 3rd/center mount brake light. The AC is wired into the back of the fuse block, as was standard...

I recently had the front of the engine apart on my 1963 Imperial. As a "while I'm in here" I replaced the temperature sender (SMS TS-52, RockAuto), because it seemed like it might be reading low. Now, the readings are different, and I'm trying to figure out if there is just variance in the...

I just figured this out and wanted to share; maybe someone else can use it. If your Imperial doesn't have AutoPilot, you have the ability to run at least 3 new wires from the engine bay to the passenger compartment without making any changes to your firewall. Even better, it will look completely...

I think I have a few broken teeth on the sector gear of my left rear window regulator. (circled in picture) I've lubricated everything, there a no binds, and the electric motor works just fine. I'd even say it works very well, except for one spot. When the window reaches a certain point, up or...

It's not visible in the picture, but my temp sensor is under the A/C compressor. I can barely put a finger on it, and even if I could reach it with a wrench, it would hit the bottom of the compressor before it came out. So, I assume there must be some way to move the compressor out of the way...

My '63 Imperial came with a single exhaust that looks to have seen multiple repairs over the years. I'm planning to install a dual setup. Ideally, I'd like a nice V8 rumble, but not annoyingly loud, and not a "dump truck" sound either. It's a completely stock engine, I don't need anything...

I've been searching this a while, across various sources. My car has some very nice original wheel covers, but I don't want to lose any, and I've always liked wheels better. I'm not trying to do anything extreme like a donk, lowrider, or pro-touring; just something with a late-60s, early-70s...

My car is a completely stock 1963 Imperial, which I've had for about 6 months. I think it's due for a new battery. In the past, I've always been told to get the battery with the most cold cranking amps possible for the correct size. However, I've never owned any car this old. I know on these...

Judging by past auctions, Imperials on BaT seem to sell at very fair prices. No Reserve: 1962 Imperial Crown Southampton 2-Door PSA: If you're going to cover your plate, cover it in every picture. Otherwise you just have a bunch of otherwise good pictures of your car with a rag hanging off it.

I'm trying to learn more about my 1963 Custom. Tag reads: ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXYZ 22 4 5 5 6 223 I believe the car is very original, and it does not have many options. Here is what I think I have decoded so far: A2 = 727 Automatic B2 = Power Brakes D4 = Power Windows H5 = AM radio...

Hi, everyone! I've wanted an Imperial since before I could drive. I know a lot of Mopar fans hate demolition derbies, but as a child at the county fair, I became obsessed with the one car that just would not die! I had to know everything about the car that could take any hit and keep going. That...
