It is possible to fix those calipers when they are seized if
they are the 4 piston kind. I've done it when they had been
seized for 4 or 5 years at least. You don't need a rebuild kit
either if you are carefull. If you want to try, I'll send the
instructions.

Hello everyone,
I am in a bad way and need to sell something. So, the only
thing I can sell is my 1969 Imperial 2 door hardtop. It runs
awesome. I had the tranny rebuilt in 1998 and have only put
3,000 miles on it since. I was forced to stop driving it when
the calipers seized. New calipers cost $165 a piece. I just
haven't been able to come up with the cash to do it. I have a
guy who wants the body to cut out the rear corner panel but I
would rather see it go as a whole unit to someone who will
rebuild it. She has no dents, only surface rust on the bottoms
beneath the doors, and the chrome grill and wrap around bumpers
are just too cool. I wish I did not have to sell but I have no
choice. If anyone knows of anyone who wants to buy her please
get back to me in the next two weeks. No later then the 22nd
of February. Otherwise the body guy is gonna pay me for the
body. I am asking $1500 or best offer. She has a 440 and her
dash is uncracked. She is white with blue interior and
drives/drove really great before the brakes siezed. I can
still go outside and fire her up right now. Anyway, please
respond with questions. Her paint is faded as she sat in a
barn for 15-19 years when her tranny failed her, she also only
has 104,000 miles.
Thank you all for your time.
