Charles,
I am overjoyed that you are going to keep your Imperial. Anytime we can
save one of these cars, it's a good day. I noticed you have a long list of
cars that you have custody of and would like to offer a suggestion that
worked well for me several years ago when I had several cars and not enough
room in the driveway or garage to keep them. My two car garage was
attached to the house and had nothing behind it, so I knocked out the back
wall, installed another garage door in the back wall and was able to drive
all my Imperials (and a few of my buddies VeeDubs) into my backyard. No
one saw them until we pulled them out front. In fact, one of my neighbors
asked me one day (after watching us take 3 cars out of the 2 car garage)
how we pulled off the "magic trick". Don't know if it will help you keep
things away from prying eyes, but it worked for me then. (I now have a
four car garage and only three cars!) Best Wishes
Randy

Subject: IML: New!! I'm getting to keep my Imperial
New Information, A man that has been a friend in the past, has a
spot I can park my Imperial. How good a friend is he?? I am disabled and he
came over to my house and with another friend of mine pulled the Hemi
drivetrain out of my old Imperial, without ever meeting me previously, and
would not take any money. I lost his address and phone number and couldn't
find him. My old Imperial was a rust bucket and was too far gone to be
repaired. It spent its first 3 years in Chicago.
Since the main problem with the new Imperial is, it isn't running,
I'm going to get the valve guides replaced and new valves in the heads, so
it will run on today's gas. Then I won't need the special doors to hide the
Imperial, if its running.
Before it was pulled it had my old Imperial doing 130+ (the
speedometer ran out of numbers), on the freeway. It only has 55,000 miles
on it.
There was a lot of great idea's from people on here, one I liked
was a drivetrain replacing party. I supply food and beverages and get the
drivetrain replaced. I live near San Jose California, and hopefully I can
get enough people, so it moves fast. If anyone has ideas that would help
please let me know. If anyone can think of strange or unusual parts I'll
need please let me know so I'll have them.
I figure I can get everything ready after New Years, so if there's
anyone that can help, please let me know.
Lastly, so I can finish getting my anger out, my neighbor that
caused the problem, is of foreign background, and doesn't understand about
loving cars. He feels you should only have exactly the number of cars that
you need. He asks me weekly when am I going to sell them. I can't help he
overpaid $550,000 for his 1080 square foot house. I can't help he and his
wife work 2 jobs to pay for it.
He turned his grass under and has weeds and dirt showing, I think
that is worse than any nonrunning car I may have. You can't see my car but
everyone can see his "lawn".
The reason he moved 10 miles, is the school district I live in is
one of the best in the state, and he wanted to make sure his kids had the
best.
Also the people of his and similar nationalities are taking over
the city government and I can't get heard. As a disabled person maybe a
discrimination lawsuit would get their attention.
This is the person that I lent tools to so he could make repairs to
his house. Never again will I help him!!
BUT, I believe in karma and he will get his 10 fold !!
I appreciate all the ideas and suggestions I was given, Thanks!! I felt
I was driven into a corner and didn't have a choice. Thanks for listening,
that meant more than you will ever understand.
Thanks again,
Charles in Calif.
