He is the 1967 - 1968 Imperial maven.... has parts cars...
Is a great guy, and detmatt stands for Detroit Matt....
So he is near you in Michigan!!!
 
I don’t have one but I do have to ask if you’ve begun to remove it yet? If the front stub is rusty you can bet that the points that it mounts to on the unibody are too. I’m about to bolt up a California donor stub on my rusty Michigan car and it’s been quite the can of worms.
 
Thank you, yes sub frame is out and gone already it was rusty in front of upper a arms along the whole bottom side, the rear legs were good only had 1 stubborn bolt

I’m glad to hear that. My original wasn’t bad in those areas yet but it was on the top near mounting points and I snapped every other fastener while dismantling it…
I tried selling it for a bit hoping a derby guy would want it but I needed it out of the way so I cut it into pieces and it’s in a pile behind my shop.
 
Another question what's a good price I paid 400 for the car is this going to blow the cost of the car put of the water

I don’t know, let’s see it.
 
I'll get pictures when I'm at shop next I just meant is the front frame section generally over $400 or what's a ballpark?

It is Imperial only and 2 years only so maybe more than $400.
 
Dang, I thought 67 to 73 were all the same essentially obviously this isnt a numbers matching concourse deal either will any of those years work?

Honestly I don’t know much after ‘68 but I’d be surprised if it was the same as the ‘69 and later but I’m still learning.
Murray will want $ 500,000 for it....
I had to give you the red X buddy. He’s a friend and I think his prices are fair and are a reflection of his cost to run the business.
 
I have one that I was told was for an Imperial that is nice .
I got it years ago with a 68 300 convertible that I bought from a buddy . I'm in Michigan also .

'67 to '73 are interchangeable.

There's one small difference. If I remember correctly, one version has a couple small studs mounted in the front crossmember for a bracket that connects to the front bumper. Can't remember if the fusey or slab has the extra bracket.
