Only reason I mentioned about flatbedding is because my 90 Dynasty had a
fatal demise that cost me a small fortune to have flatbeded, and the tow
truck guy was a real A-hole.
I plan on getting the fake ragtop Dynasty(it has the nicest paint color I
have ever seen), I wont settle for less, I want one of the best ones out
there. It is going to be rebuilt and my mom will take over ownership there
after. Well there is a catch, I am taking her 95 Mercury Sable after she
takes the keys to the Dynasty. If I reinlist this year I plan to store the
Imperial at a friends house and take the Sable out with me. No big deal I
will be back for my Imp latter.
I think all Imperials of all years have limited slip, but not 100% sure.
One of the junkyards by me has an Imperial now, a 1990, and he is expensive
as hell on parts, he wanted a 150.00 for the trunklid. I told him that's
crazy and he probably didn't even pay that much for the whole car. Needless
to say I wont be back there anytime soon, he's freakin ridiculous. He told
me he could knock off some of the price I just shook my head and said it's
not worth it, the paint color didn't match, the edge was starting to pit
with rust. The Chrysler nameplate was missing. He is out to screw people
for money, and I don't deal with people like that I rather see him get
shutdown first.
I did score a pair of bedrails for my dad's 88 Dodge
D-150 pickup for $10.00 at another yard, and I almost bought some 15"
aluminum wheels off a Lebaron GTC convertable that were white like my
Imperial for roughly 30.00 a rim. I still might, but first I am getting a
new battery. The not so Important can wait.
I also found a 91 Daytona ES turbo that was complete still, is there an easy
way to get the turbo from that thing? It is sitting on top on another car
which is why it is still complete. Any ideas... I want that turbo.
What car can I get an intercooler out of? and one more thing, I found an
older T-bird turbo couple with these awesome air induction scoops I have to
have which I may go back for, it sits in the hood and is just like a ram air
design, matter of fact it is, if I can figure out how to change the routing
of where the air goes, I may buy it and install it on the Imp latter.
It's been good junkyard hunting so far and I have just begun to find what I
am in search of. I got more yards to hit latter on this week...
