Rest in peace 1973 Imperial

[Chris RB]

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to save some parts off of a 73 Imperial (including rear doors and rear window with plug) which was destined to be scrapped (not much left and very rusty floors).

I took some pictures of its tags in the hopes that people here might decode what it was.
Interestingly I think it had a seeking radio.

Any info would be appreciated.

Cheers!
Chris

Thank you for sharing. Every tag and piece of info helps us understand how things were actually done and what really happened.

(Not your 'birthday', not your 'born on' day, not your 'made' day. It's a 'scheduled' day. It's administrative in function and unrelated to production.)

I been trying to get a hold of that seller. I would like some parts.

Interesting. YM43T3C260251 was originally JA5, which is a medium silver metallic. Same color sported at birth by Ming, my 1973 NYB. Looks like your Imp was later repainted blue.

Interesting, I never would have guessed.

Oh, I just realized that I've actually rode in Ming haha.
Didn't put together the fact that it's with @Boydsdodge right now.

Beautiful car.

Hello Chris ! Glad that you saved the parts, however I had an agreement with the seller for the antenna. The agreement was void when you showed up ;) If in case you have no use for it and are willing to sell - Here I am

Best regards,
Mike

The car was near Tillsonburg, Ontario ?Joseph N. alias Smith on FB? Trying since June to get parts from him. Shipment is an issue apparently to US or EU. Good luck with it. Did you get all the parts he got? If so would like to get in contact with you

 

[Chris RB]

Hey, yes that's correct. I took as many as I could fit in my car but the car was quite stripped down before I got there.
PM me.

@Chris RB
Did you save any blue plastics?

I did not, did you want me to ask if the owner has anything left?

The car is gone but he took a few more things off after I had no more room.

 

[cuda hunter]

I am looking for a pillar trim in blue. If he had any left I would be interested.
