I sold my extra set of those Snowflakes to the scrap dealer for $25 each after I sold the Batwagon. Search for a pic of that Beast and you'll know why I had 'um in my stash, JerGot a spare set of those snow flake rims sitting around............. just sayin......

I already have lots of stupid ideas about this one ($800 price tag hits me in my weakest spot), I do agree it's a good thing it's so far away. That interior just kills me, color would make little difference at that price...I'm just glad that thing is at the opposite corner of the country lest I get any stupid ideas..
Same here... I've always had a desire for one. A friend had a blue Sinatra edition that I really liked. Finding the right one crosses my mind every once in a while.I'm just glad that thing is at the opposite corner of the country lest I get any stupid ideas..

Interesting thing about those wheel centerz for those Snowflakez. They came in Red, Clear W/ Imperial Branded into the plastic Pentastar , and just clear plastic. When I went chasing for the now NS1 wheel centerz in the mid '90s, I wound up with 5 NOS clear plastic Pentastars from all over the country and with my conversion to '76-7-8 C-body discs on the front I had to have Four 1/2" thick aluminum spacers machined out so those centerz would seat on the caliperz. Just one of those insignificant bitz of KAH-KA the we're all full of and the cheap spacerz that Jeg's and Summit sell I wouldn't hang on ah kiddy wagon, JerI already have lots of stupid ideas about this one ($800 price tag hits me in my weakest spot), I do agree it's a good thing it's so far away.

But that Home Depot POS has to go.That tan gut would look good with black exterior.
Oh I thought that was factory.
Suitable for Sammy Davis Jr. perhaps, but Frank Sinatra? Never.Oh I thought that was factory.
What do I think?
1) It's a J body, so you should also consult ForFMJbodiesonly as well...that gang will also provide some knowledge on the car too, although they are more into hotrodding over there, so advice will be skewed in that direction.
2) Carb conversion is fine if EFI parts are now missing from the attempted conversion and you can no longer make it work. Headers etc really incongruous on an Imperial.
3) Restore it as best you can and enjoy being the only one in the crowd!
That's the car line there is no Y body.This Imperial is not a J body. Chrysler referred to it as a "Y" body.
