Elijah, Great news and information. Sounds like a good source for parts
when my brother and I get ready to restore his '69 Super Bee. Another source for salvaged Imperial parts close to me is Lowell Howe in
Paterson, Ca. His location is about an hour away from where I live and
his inventory is nothing but Imperials. If anyone in the group needs a
part checked out before purchase, I’d be willing to run out (on the
weekends of course) and do an inspection. Thanks again Elijah.

Ken and all, My wife and I took a drive down to this morning, and easily found Mopar Restos. Frank Parks is a really nice guy, and I had a great time talking with him. He showed me around his place, and I tried to make notes of things I thought would be interesting to the list. I knew I had arrived at the right place when I walked in the garage to find a '73 Imperial two door hardtop that was FULLY optioned, including the factory sunroof. Wow! Even though the car had been sitting in the garage for about 10 years, it was in really nice condition, and could be brought back to life with a minimal amount of work. Frank walked me around his place, and some other cars of interest included a '70 Imperial two door hardtop (sadly beyond reasonable restoration), a '71 Chrysler New Yorker, a '70 Chrysler Newport, and, of course, lots of A, B, and E body stuff. In a nutshell, Frank seems to have mainly muscle car stuff, but also has a good amount of parts for '64-'73 Imperials. He has a "yard" with about 400 cars that I did not get to see (evidently it's not easy to get to, and it was getting darned HOT by 10:00 this morning), but this is the main source of his inventory. He had a HUGE amount of parts at his garage and storage buildings, all cleaned, tagged, and well-organized. He has a Imperial hubcap all the way up to a '75 Imperial hubcap. Even though his main business seems to be muscle car stuff, Frank really likes Imperials, and I enjoyed talking with him. He's very knowledgeable about the cars, seems friendly and honest, and I would certainly recommend him as a vendor. Mopar Restos Frank Parks Hope this helps out some folks!
