Imperials were built to be driven, not just look pretty in the driveway and impress the neighbors. Great find and excellent job getting her back on the road

You're in it for the right reasons - to have fun and create good memories. The satisfaction that comes from hard work can't be beat. Those seats came out great too! Looking forward to seeing how she looks after you buff it out.

I love it. This is the car featured in the movie "Mean Streets". Same color combo. I had 4 Imperial 4 doors-1972-1973. Just bought 1973 Imperial 2 door hardtop out of Montana and I'm going to save another '73 2 door at an undisclosed location. They only 2,563 of them-I looked for 27 years and 2 2 doors just fell into my lap. If you ever sold this one-I'd love to have it. I also resurrect and bring old cars back to life.

The first car I ever drove was a 1973 Chrysler New Yorker. It was very similar to your Imperial! 👍🏽❤

Love those Chrysler Behemoths too !! I've owned many land barges., The largest engine I drove as a daily driver was a 1970 472ci Cadillac Coupe. 10 miles per gallon was about average. lol. But I would still drive it today! You''ve got one of the largest cars Detroit ever built. Love the 72 lines, its a masterpiece in the long line of American luxury cars. Great to see her rolling again! Good job !

Tip for bringing the front & rear chrome bumpers and side view mirrors. SOS Pads. Use them & it will remove the haze from the chrome and light surface rust and giving them a nice new chrome shine like new. It won't scratch it so don't worry. You will be very happy to see how great they come out

Great job on the imperial, would love to see where it goes from here...maybe some exhaust work...thank you for the content

I agree with the gent who claimed she was Built to be driven. And driven hard. Good luck.

Please get the exhaust system OEM. Nice and quiet. 😁

Great work putting new anchors on the Titanic. The interior came out nice. Keep the videos coming.

Great looking car - great video. For leather seat care - look for a shoe buffing brush - soft enough not to damage the leather (and the finish on the leather), but firm enough to get the dirt out. Once the paint gets cut and buffed, this Imperial is going to look like a million bucks. I have a soft spot for these Big Mopars - my first car was a 1970 Chrysler 300 2-door hardtop (440 V8, TorqueFlite, Buckets and console) and drove the hell out of it. Never looked as good as your LeBaron, though. Thanks for sharing.

That beast is awesome, love to see these dinosaurs brought back from the edge!

Today you get 4 people into a big SUV and people say, Boy, this is roomy! Bull crap! Have those same 4 people crawl into that 72 Imperial where you have to lean over and stretch to touch the person beside you. You can put 6 people in that car and there will be 8" between their shoulders. Imperial above all other cars of that time was all about roomy personal space and comfort.

The front brake hoses are bad that is what is keeping the calibers closed on the rotors. You need to change them first before you change the calibers.

Definitely true luxury, Can't beat an Imperial or a New Yorker...Great video.

I love these old Mopar's I have a lot of the big one I had a 72 Newport with a 440 my USAF buddy's would jump in on the weekends and drive from SoCal the Vegas at around 90 mph and never had any trouble with it. love your videos keep saving them old Mopar's !

I love the old boats. I had a 74 impala 4 door... I could drive that thing any where

Upholstery looks fantastic! Take good care of her!

Hey little brother, I'm so glad I stumbled across your channel. You are doing it right, hanging with dad in the garage, thank you for being in it for the experience. That is such a great way to live. Enjoy your time out there. It makes me happy to see that. Now, I am not sure if this is your dream car or if you would ever part with it, once the project is finished. But, if you do, let a guy know. I have been looking for one for a little while now and one with some history would be neat. I look forward to seeing more from you. Be well.

You have a very nice Imperial; you should be proud of saving this beauty! That relay/buzzer sound during your night time drive may be the headlight door relay located under the dash. Do you only hear that sound with the headlights on? Rotate the headlight door motor adjustment wheel just a little (under the hood) with the lights on until the relay stops protesting.

Wow. What a cool lookn 4 dr. The front seat is like a sofa. The front end is awesome. Nice job

Fantastic - wonderful seeing this Imperial get revived. Looking forward to future videos; best of luck on the continued process!

The looks fantastic great job, but like I said the front brake hoses are bad so you need to change them first before you change the calibers. Good luck I wish I could find one like that wow.

Excellent job, love the interior.

She sounds like Christine idling 🤣 with the loud exhaust, I had a Cadillac and Armor all ruined the leather dashboard so I am glad you chose meguiars, I can't wait to see more updates on the the old girl. Till next time my Friend.

New to your channel this evening, really enjoyed both the Imperial vids, great work!! Subscribed 👍👍

I dont usually comment but you are doing fantastic with that car. Big ol sled, my type. Keeping it mostly orignal and doing all the right clean up on it. Ill tell you now you give that a buff its gonna come right back 100%. cant wait to see more of the cleaned up product. I do pontiacs myself. You can see on my channel.

The joys of getting an old relic back on the road

Love your town. I haven't been through there since 2005 when I was heading up to a family reunion in the eastern part of the state. Fantastic car!

Put black boot polish on the vinyl roof. it will make it look good and protect the vinyl. Your Imperial is super cool and sounds great !

*"THE Beautiful~Beast->!"*

I love old Mopars. nice car

Man, that Imperial is beautiful. Enjoy it.

I've restored one of these, and I experienced weak brakes as well, even after installing new calipers. It turned out that the Midland Ross dual-diaphram brake booster was shot (it wasn't the check valve). A rebuild by Power Brake Exchange in Washington fixed the problem...stops on a dime!

I've been waiting ✋. You deserve it, for all the very hard work you put in Enjoy 😉. Oh the hood quote "That's what she said ".👌👌👍👍💯💯

Very nice cleanup. Awesome find.

Amarol has oil in it and when the sun hits it. It's going to dry out the leather seats and fade the color off destroying the seats along with the dash board. You will actually see a lite haze from the sun heating up the oil in the armarol & dry roating & cracking the dash board. Believe it or not Pledge yellow can is good for cleaning the dashboard nicely and giving it a nice clean new look

Really cool project ! My father used to have a Chrysler Newport 72, same boat, with a 460. Thanks for sharing ! 😊🇨🇦

We had a 71 Newport, you brought back great memories of that car.

Patiently awaiting part 3 here!

Check out Dylan McCool, he's another Mopar guy, you may find some of the places he sources parts quite useful. Vice Grip has some good sources as well...Also check out UTG (Uncle Tony's Garage) for some in depth understanding of the Mopar world, he is very well versed...Nick's Garage covers a lot of DYNO testing and is informative as well...Don't forget Roadkill, they cover a lot of Mopar tips and tricks as well.

Seriously, this car has Hot Rod Power Tour potential for next year. Nice car.

wow those seats look comfy ! - great work- awesome car !!🤩

Hey bud,,saddle soap for that leather,, then just keep rubbing in,then find a good conditioner

I'm glad to see you resurrecting this uncommon car. I'm curious to sse more progress.

The beast is running, great video thanks for sharing

Wow what a rife love it!!! I have got to watch some early episodes of Mannix tonight love that old show a lot of old cool mopars on that show even some had a blue imperial like yours

Put some Mink Oil on the leather seats. Puts moisture back into the leather.

Nice looking imperial my buddy had a 69 in green great riding boats n yours looks great

Bad ass car!!! She looks like A Mafia Hit Car!!!!

Beautiful 👌 😍 🤩

Thank you for reviving a surviver

Part of the front brake issue may be the hoses are bad. Being that old, they're likely plugged on the inside not allowing the caliper to release.

What a beauty!

Man that car is beautiful, sos pads definitely will do wonders for the bumpers, a muffler would make it sound better 😊

big fancy centerville square, what no burnout lol? if thats your old man doing the car washing he was smiling ear to ear. nice save

nice job sir ,,right on

There was a SNL skit back in the early 1990s (when SNL wasn't a suck ass to the demoCRAP party) with Dana Carvey doing a spoof of the McLaughlin Report. It had an Asian slant to it and Carvey was imitating McLaughlin and wanted his panel to name ugliest American Car. He said it was '1972 Chwyswer Imperial, rear-end looked like fat woman in polyesta pant' No offense to your car, but that skit was hilarious!

Armoral will make the leather Crack,the dash too.

If the calipers are releasing slowly, then it is likely the caliper hoses that are collapsed...I'd try replacing those first.

Love the music from the engine

what a sweet big girl . good job mates

That’s a very nice shade of blue to demonstrate the design..

I love the old Town Square

Chrysler definitely had the Beast of cars in the '60s and '70s nice looking cars and you always seen them in 60s and '70s movies they use more Chryslers and 60s and 70s and early 80s and any other cars cool car I had a 71 Chrysler New Yorker about 15 years ago I bought off some older people at low miles is in perfect shape and it had the 4:40 nice video

Nice job

Definitely get the exhaust in order. "Limo's" (that is what we call Imperials) should be Quiet and unassuming. All Limo's with Rear A/C had "Sure Grip" rear ends BTW. Another note, someone commented about the front suspension, they are different on Imperials than standard Mopar's, that being said, DON'T EVER take the Transmission Crossmember out without supporting the front Suspension. Learned that the hard way once! Lucky I still have both hands after that lesson. Good job.

Thar Imperial is really coming along nice. The interiors seem to hol up really well in those years. Does that 61 Imperial belong to you also? I used to have a 60 Coupe.

Sounds good after 41 years!

I love your car I always wanted one of those! But you should try on your leather a little soft brush that will scrub all that dirt out of there then get you some stuff called mink oil and that will make that leather so soft and nice it's a beautiful car man you get it a good waxed up you got good tires I don't know who bought those but those are the big nice hankook with the white walls and the heavy duty load range what you need for that big heavy car that's great too! Should run premium in it too I don't know if you know 91 or 92 octane at least cuz when this car was new regular was 91.92 so if you try to run 87 it won't run good that's too cheap of gas for that old girl you can even put some octane boost in it too and blow out with that that'll really get her going LOL

The front brakes could be the rubber hose. They can collapse and give the same feel. I would suspect the calipers too.

Sounds like Cheristien 👍

Did you check into a caliper rebuild kit? Get all the lights working? the radio? how about the fender mounted turn signals and those nice cornering lights too?

Are you gonna update us bout the Imperial?

ain’t he the cutest thing

👍🏁

It could use a whole new exhaust system.

Your muffler is going to need a new car Cuz!!!

👍

Hi y’all from west Alabama peace and love

Will calipers from a late 70s New Yorker work?

Nice, if you decide to liberate some cash from it for your next project let us subscribers know the sale price.

I drove a '72 coupe in high school. Cool car, but a maintenance pig!

Are you done with youtube, looking 👀 forward for an update on this.

Definitely don't use Armarol on the tires. They will dry rot so quickly from the heat from driving the car the oil in the armarol will baking those tires and eventually u will notice them dry rotted & discolored & you will have to replace them. That stuff is awful for cars and always tell friends not to buy it

Pls drive into a tesla lol 😂

Interesting project and you said in pt 1 that you were working on the videos to make them less choppy or fragmented. Let me offer another suggestion. Reduce the talking head closeups by 3/4 and show some actual work being done. Otherwise, all you have is a "dear diary" style account of what you did with the odd test drive from inside the car. That's just not enjoyable to watch.

Have you no Mufflers on that car surely you should of cleaned the car out n Polished it up before taking it out making it look it’s Best .. an Try smiling a little talking into the Camera once n a while … why the so Serious face 👍👍👍😎

what 8-track was that??????
