Now you can see why 64-66 Imperials were banned from Demolition Derbies. You have basically a 4" x 4" of probably like 3/16" steel box frame, and the convertibles have the X in them, most older convertibles did. So and imperial will not "belly" as we derby drivers would call, and you still can't run these anywhere, but they make 90's fords not bend... 67-73 Imperials are still banned in some derbies but not all, they are unibody cars, and the front sub frame is amazingly strong. My dad ran one on 2 different chryslers 3 different times with chrysler pointy bumpers, which are known to destroy frames, the bumpers got junked before the subframe did. I would love to have a 64 Imperial hardtop sedan to drive, as well as a 77 New yorker hardtop Sedan, I think they are absolutely beautiful cars.

I laughed out loud when I saw that he’d lost a hub cap. All I could say was “Get used to it!” That was constantly happening on my right front wheel and, back in the days before easy internet access to obscure parts, it was a major pain to find new ones.

[@oldguy2082]

You got one of last good Imperials; if I remember right, 1966 was the last year Imperial used a stand alone chassis that wasn't shared with other Chrysler products. Your Imperial has a separate frame on body, vs unitized body on every other Chrysler product. In 1967, Imperial was put on the regular Chrysler body in the re-design to save money since Imperials always sold less than than Cadillac and Lincoln. After 1966 model year, Imperial became a slightly higher trim New Yorker model and the built like a tank feeling was lost.

[@johneckert1365]

That's not quite accurate. Yes, 66 was the last year of the full-frame, but the 67-73 unibody Imperial platform was completely different from C-body Chryslers like Newport/New Yorker. They were wider, longer (actually I think 73 Imperial is longest non-comercial car produced) longer wheel base, and bigger wheel bolt circle than the smaller C-body cars. That changed in 1974 when Imperial went to the standard C-body platform, and yes, was just a fancier New Yorker. When Imperial was discontinued after 1975 model year, that same design became the "New Yorker Brougham". Imagine buying a new Imperial in 1975 and in 1976 the almost identical car was sold as a New Yorker for $1,000+ less 😲

7:30 I spy a cracked weld on your cross member sir.

[@mfree80286]

100% you did, A+. OLD cracked weld on the front side of what looks like a body mount ear.

[@benchattin]

Must've hit a Nokia.

Ran over a Kia

I found a '61 Imperial convt. In a Big Island junkyard. A project, and just to remove it. I drove a .68 300 pillarless. It had a rebuilt 383 in place of the 400. Was a smooth cruiser, and thirsty. Had a chance at a 64 Imperial convt. Had to settle for a 65 Park Lane. 390/4bbl. One of my best cars, and I drove it a bit.

"A leak about yea big on the ground". SOP if it was a Studebaker. Please don't ask me how I know this.

[@paulgrey6644]

Yay*

[@brodycampbell2303]

You are so close to me its awesome! Gotta love Missouri flooding

[@mitchellgildea6944]

Mornin' Hoovie! That's a fine looking Imperial you got there

[@caddydaddy84]

The color is drop dead gorgous. Please keep this and make videos!

[@nethalus]

Hang on, Tyler you have bought a car that doesn't require a second mortgage to repair? Sadface from the Wizard

[@herrunsinn774]

01:44 Try turning the steering wheel 90 degrees in both directions (like you are doing here, Hoovie) with one of your modern sports cars. You would send it flying off the road. This Imperial barely seems to notice. 😅😂🤣

Big puddles of water are always hiding. Huge potholes 😱

[@sirmounted8499]

That is why I stay away from puddles. I don't mind getting my car dirty or spraying down a pedestrian because that is always fun. Speaking of spraying down people, I adjusted one of my washer fluid nozzles so it points at the sidewalk so I can spray down people that I am driving by.

[@zorak1704]

That’s how the police can tell the drunk drivers in Ohio, they aren’t avoiding the pot holes

[@steelisthemeal]

Sir Mounted 🤣😱😮 That song just started playing in my head .....little bit psycho🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@OkFixer]

Heater core is leaking. Important.....HAVE THE ORIGINAL ONE REPAIRED! Unless you can find an original new part. The heater core is waaaaaayyyyyy deep into that car. Under the dash way deep. Lots of labor. Do it right and do it once. Aftermarket heater cores don’t leak....sometimes.....and they are made with fewer tubes and fins meaning marginal heat output. Have yours fixed and pressure tested. Great car!

[@CdnAudiA4]

$80 for foam strips? Wizard is taking an early retirement.

[@gapplevr4915]

Diag time ain't free

[@scotth6814]

It's the labour.

[@falcon0351]

I love that giant Imperial styling and shape..No wonder it was chosen as the Black Beauty

[@ms90sbabyy]

More interesting than usual...if he’ll keep it long enough to make it worth watching and keep up with that would be cool

[@peterdelestrez8880]

That's a really beautiful car. You really lucked out finding one.

[@mitchellgildea6944]

The Wizard jumped up mighty quick from the driver's seat when he heard sperm

Interesting tidbit that I learned from an owner of two Imperials in when I was still building and competing in Demolition Derby cars; they are banned in many Demolition Derbies because you just can't hurt them enough to put them out of commission. They are probably banned in all of them by now. He worked his way through our field pretty easily!
