For Sale 1974 Imperial w/sunroof, 21k miles - Not mine

[Robert Saigh]

Nice Imperial....Too bad it's not blue! No way on $14 Grand! Maybe $6500 tops. My guess on the '70-'73 steering wheel being black is the prior years the wheel was color related to the body and interior. Do you think they had a few thousand wheels that where black and where stuck with them? Just a thought.

If they raided the existing '73 and prior steering wheel inventory, the replacement wheels were black (or paint to match), from Chrysler parts. Most probably a Saginaw (GM) column, but NOT exactly like GM used, by observation.

The T&T wheel itself was used on New Yorkers, Newports, Dodge and Plymouth....so there where a lot of them made.

Then that makes two parts on this one that interchange to the fusie years. The air cleaner wing nut being the other....lol

SWEET!!!

The politically correct title is now certified technician or licensed tech. Get with the times guys!!!!

Ooops my bad, I guess Certified means they are up to snuff with PCM/ECU/OBD II's Flash Reprogramming but know nothing about rebuilding a carburetor, alternator or a starter motor. Right? <ducks>

he he...

This is likely the case these days, no argument here. Even when I was pulling wrenches, the boss(s) were starting to only care about turning out repairs without really concerning themselves with rebuilding in house & this was back in the late 80's early 90's.
