Also worth mentioning, I'm not personally familiar with ATC I, but have experience with ATC II. In the models available with ATC II, you could opt for manual A/C. The majority were equipped with ATC II. I'm not sure if the models equipped with ATC I were available with manual controls, but I...

Both cars should have ATC I, if both are factory A/C cars. ATC II was introduced in 1971. From what I've gathered on this site, ATC I is very difficult to get operating correctly. I wish you luck, and let us know how it goes!

You don't see many rims that size because it's a very uncommon tire size. You may want to look into finding tires in that size before you spend too much time looking for the rims, because you might not be able to find any tires to your liking. I think part of the 16's unpopularity is due to...

What I meant by saying it looks like a parts car was that it appears neglected and would take an awful lot of work to get road worthy and presentable. Who's telling you to get rid of it? If it has sentimental value, which apparently it does, don't listen to them. You say "that's my mom's car...

Debbie Downer here, I apologize in advance. It currently has a Corvette engine that was damaged in a flood? So the rest of the car has flood damage? Because from that one picture it looks like a parts car. So you're going to throw a five thousand plus dollar crate engine in a rusty, flood...

I wonder where those guards are from, possibly from a '71 Newport royal. They give the car a "tough" look. Probably would appear more at home on a black car. I sort of like them but they protrude quite a bit, and break up the lines of the grill and bumper. Even the stock guards interfere with...

Wow! I've never seen that before, very curious as to what they were hauling. I once bought a 1970 Newport convertible that had ten leafs each side and coil over shocks, it rode terribly! I would assume once that wedged in spring is removed your rear will drop. And it really should be removed...

In your first post you mention the starter will turn over, but seemed to not have spark. This last post you say "no restart or even a hint at trying". It's possible you skipped a tooth or two when you gunned it. Try slowly turning the crank bolt with a breaker bar to determine. There's still...

The sheet metal used in the bodies of 1960's Chryslers is 18 gauge, just a little over 1 millimeter thick. Pretty much any welding machine on the market can handle that. A bargain basement 110 volt flux core mig will get you going without breaking the bank or having to add circuits to your...

I vote for coil! Take the wire to the distributor off, see any oil? If so, replace.

Nice job! That definitely adds a lot of character. There was this company from Austin Texas that made MCM kits and doors, looks like they're no longer in business. The home I grew up in had the knob in the center of the door with a large star escutcheon around it.

Azblackhemi knows what he's talking about and has the pictures to prove it! I agree with everything he stated and will add, that it sounds like you're going to be putting the vinyl roof back on? If that's the case the back window and windshield really should come out, along with the gutter trim...

You mentioned that you put a new condenser in, try your old one of it's still around.

The car in your avatar picture (on the flat deck) is a 1971 New Yorker. I'm not much of a codes guy, but there's no way it was built two weeks before 1972. Factory switch over occurred August - September, if I recall correctly. Meaning 1972 production would have started August or September...

This car was recently listed on this site, I would guess in the last two or three months. I remember the drivers door, it looks like a dragons eye. I can't recall if there was more information in the first ad. Edit- same single picture, same yard, no other information. Thread '1971 Polara At...

Damn it Eric! Finds a gem of a Chrysler and yanks its heart out, but a buddy has a 440... Fer crying out loud! Why didn't you just buy your buddy's 440 and sell a running and driving car? And yes, suggest that it be used in a demo derby, you just helped get it one step closer to that. I hope...

Oh come on! Give the old guys a bit of nostalgia by seeing a guy use the 'ol widowmaker on the side of the road! I remember testing mine out in the slightly sloped driveway in the back alley. One of my neighbours, an older fella driving a newer Chrysler 300 slowed down and stopped, he stuck his...

I'd try popping it off using two bars facing eachother as close to the shaft as possible. You could also try clamping two pieces of metal to a bench with a gap in between, slide the fan/motor in (gap should match axle diameter roughly) so that the fan is supported and tap the shaft down. If you...

Sounds like a smart guy. How'd it work out for him?

Last official day of summer.
