Still trying to locate a decent rear bumper for my '66 Imp. Both pieces needed - top 'light bar' section and lower bumper piece. Pretty sure the top piece is the same for '64-'66. The lower bumper section is unique to that year due to the backup lights being added to it. Looking for decent...

Yep, been awhile - again. Trying to sneak in a little time to work on the '66 Imp to tie up a few more loose ends. Have a new glove box to install but can't do that until I replace the HCV. And while that sounds straightforward enough and should be, I will add that my current one is...

Greetings crew: Finally started back to work on my '66 Imp this week thanks to all the time at home. Posted an update in the Members Projects forum. One problem that cropped up involved the left rear window: it went all the way down into the door (my fault) and won't come back up. Oddly, the...

Had to run a part for the Imp over to the shop this morning. As I headed down Rt 234 near my house, I saw what looked like an old, not-roadworthy Mopar sitting next to the highway. For those not familiar with northern VA, 234 is considered one of the busiest roads in northern VA as a lot use it...

I know there are a bunch of truck folks on here, former and current, hopefully someone can give me a pointer or two. Sitting in Salem, Oregon is a 20kw DD generator that needs to come to northern VA. It's lashed to a dual axle car trailer with 4 new tires. If I had to guess the weight I'd say...

Yep, the Imperial has once again taken a back seat to more pressing matters. In this case - bringing dad's car home to northern VA from VT. Dad got the car as sort of a father-son project after he retired from the granite industry so we'd have something to tinker on, drive around, maybe take to...

I realize it's probably a question with no simple answer, but I'm putting together a tune up kit for my 66 Imp, 440 and wondered what the consensus is on a good plug to use. Haven't bought plugs for a car in years, maybe decades now and I think those might've been NGK? The last thing I put...

Not mine - a lot nicer and a true redhead, not a resale red version. Or, as Bond would say, the cuffs match the collar. 1966 Chrysler Imperial | eBay A very clean and well-detailed, low mileage (for the year) example.

Getting ready to send the Imperial to the shop later this week if they're ready for it. Got the new tank painted and sending unit temporarily installed with a proper (thicker) lock ring and gasket. Having never put one of these in before, I'm curious - should the gasket be greased up first or...

A couple questions for the slab side owners out there. First - take a look at the photo below and tell me - what am i missing here? I've checked photos of different cars, most have two hoses connected here. I thought it might be for a rear heater or AC unit, but saw a convertible with the...

Getting ready to rebuild the brakes on my '66 Imperial. While looking for new shoes I came across so re-lined shoes, some with rivets, some that were bonded. Just curious to know if there's a preference or any known failure issues with one of the other. Pretty sure I've used both types over the...

Got a few minutes to tinker today, sun is out and temps are about perfect. Wondering if anyone has experience re-attaching the door latch rods on these beasts? The driver's door on my '66 Imp has lost its opening rod from the outside door handle (top attachment point). Found it laying down...

Decided to take Saturday off and get outta town away from the women, yardwork, and Imperial project for some long-overdue guy time with my good friend John. We took in the Kutztown, PA Radio meet, then attended the MSHS steam & engine show, and capped off the day with visit to the local Cruise...

You cannot make this stuff up: Florida Sheriff Warns 54,000 People Not to Shoot at Hurricane Irma Certainly hurricanes are no laughing matter, but I about busted a gut laughing at this. I especially like the image break down, and the warning added by the sheriff at the top.

Looking for someone near Salem Oregon or a bit south who could check out a piece of equipment for me. Not a C-Body, but almost as heavy and much louder. Happy to pay for your gas. It's a bit of a drive from Manassas, VA. :D

Getting the parts together to upgrade the brakes on my '66 Imp and thought this would be a good time to swap out the master cylinder. However, since the car has the Auto Pilot cruise control unit nearby, it looks tight, at best. I don't have the dimensions of a dual reservoir handy to check...

Okay - I'm going to attempt to keep this to one thread, as easy as it is to start a new one for every different issue that arises. The original delivery thread just has too much angst in it or, more accurately, reminds me too much about the unloading incident. Time to move on to the meat 'n...

Got the paperwork in the mail yesterday, currently looking for a transporter on uship to haul it the 500+ miles to northern VA from New England. Here are some shots of it at the seller's location. Car has been stored since 1986 so will need a fair amount of prep work to get it back on the road...

Getting surprisingly close to closing the deal on a '66 convertible. 'Surprising' because the wife actually wants me to get it. I do have to get rid of another vehicle in the future, once everything is here. Probably my old tractor. But having grown up with a convertible as one of the family...

Okay - here goes. Looking into a nice driver-quality 66 Imperial. It sat for a couple decades in storage. Runs/drives fine but only with a lawn mower tank under the hood. Sender unit is probably clogged and tank is, at best full of crap(like some people), at worst could be rusty from...
