69 Imperial brake calipers. ???

[C Body Bob]

I have 2 brake calipers supposed to be from a 69 Imperial. Any ideas on what they are worth. I would like to sell them. They have decent pads & the hard line as well as the rubber line that has deteriorated but can be used to match up if correct is not available.

problem with those buds the seals location , not in the barrel bores, but on the pistons . wears the bores out . what kind of miles did the car have on it . they are very heavy cores , got a full setup myself from a imp .

I just picked up a pair for 40 bucks but they didn't have pads, those are worth a few bucks as cores for re-lining. Basically these are going to need a 500 dollar rebuild so...

I would call one of the rebuilder services for these and find out what the cores are worth to them and that would be your value.
I had mine done through calipersonline.com
