JumperAndSon Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Yea, it's a mopar:It's a 1964 Chrysler Imperial. Something my dad always wants. He's had a few over the years, they're cool. Needs a little TLC, but it's neat. Runs and drives.Ben 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26047-my-dads-new-ride/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 When the shocks go bad you can get seasick riding in a Land Yacht like that. Still a cool ride. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26047-my-dads-new-ride/#findComment-127087 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Man that car is really neat. I would want to put a 426 Hemi Nascar Motor under the hood, blue printed and balanced, B & M Hydro 6 Speed Transmission, suspension updated for the curves, spot lights on both sides, mud flaps, and big gangster walls all around, with very dark tinted windows. Also leave the paint as is.mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26047-my-dads-new-ride/#findComment-127111 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumperAndSon Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Yes, yes it is one of the best demo derby cars around. If my dad wouldn't have bought it, his buddy would have, and derbied it. But my dad won't. It's just a driver. My dad has derbied just about 200 1971-'76 Chevy station wagons though. He did it for 27 years, and ran against a lot of Imperials too.Ben Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26047-my-dads-new-ride/#findComment-127118 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very, very strong unibody on those.Uncle RobYea, it has a good, strong 413. The '64 to '66's have full boxed frames front to back. The '67 to 75? (something like that) are unibody cars with really strong front sub-frames (known as "Noser" or "Hammerehead" Imp's)Man that car is really neat.

But this one is going to be pretty stock except for the 18 inch wheels we're putting on it.Ben Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26047-my-dads-new-ride/#findComment-127119 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTFormula Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I love imperials. I almost bought one from my dealership I work for last year. White with red interior. Those cars are badass.

Absolutely beautiful cars, but the '64-'66 were my favorites.Here's an idea...Those are actually the wheels we're putting on it. We're getting the 18 inch ones though, those 20's look kind of hokey. We put the 18 inch version on my dad's '71 Monte Carlo and they look awesome.Ben Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26047-my-dads-new-ride/#findComment-127763 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocomotiveBreath Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Cool old car. Most all the derbys in this part of the country have banned the early Imperials.

We just went to a derby on friday that had '70's or older but no Imps. The one next week is allowing Imperials though, and there will probably be 5 or 6 of them there. But not my dad's car. Never.Ben Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26047-my-dads-new-ride/#findComment-127986 Share on other sites More sharing options...
