OK.. I broke down and bought this car. It's a '62 Imperial, 413, push-button 727, 60,000 original miles. This summer I'll likely run it stock, over next winter i'm thinking chrome reverse with skinny whites.. anywone wanna photoshop? It will be lowered of course. So anyway plan on seeing me around Michigan HAMB get-togethers and what-nots, and for SURE at Billetproof Detroit! Yesss... So anyway I'm very excited and I wanted to share it with all of you guys. I'm driving to Pennsylvania next weekend to pick it up, and driving it home. TinyE TCB
OH yeah.. it needs dual exhaust and DUAL QUADS too so if anyone has a setup.... thanks nosurf! I'm stoked about this one..
Yo, Tiny...interesting new ride ya got lined up there! Take a ride over to Mancini Racing on Groesbeck between 13 and 15 Mile Rd in Fraser (if it's still there...but I'm sure it is!). A few years back, they had a complete dual quad Ramcharger intake set-up...the early 60s job with the REALLY long runners that put the carbs at opposite sides of the engine bay...THAT would look SWEEEEET on your new machine!! Or, a 440 six-pack induction system could be bolted on for a LITTLE bit less cash!
I'll give $20 (American dollars) for the tail lights. j/k those are my all time favorite lights That looks like a nice ride. my mom gave me the 66 Chrysler convertible that she drove for 25 years. It has never been restored and doesnt need to be. She knows how I modify stuff and she said "dont do it". I thought about using some RED tempura over a good wax. Paint it ALL red including, stainless trim and adding a coontail to the antennae, then driving over to show her! Of course to completely 'ruin' the car, dual exhausts and mudgrip tires! It would have been funny. (as long as she didnt stroke out) You may have to wear a suit and smoke cigars when you ride around in your landyacht.
Tiny E, that's the car my folks had (only in white) when I got my drivers license. I used to drive it to school quite often. I think that's where the saying "Too cool for school" came from. Enjoy.
Elvis, That car is the Bomb Bro. Thay dash and wheel are real spaceship. Ya gotta love it. Crysler fast becomming the unofficial boat of the HAMB. The PknBner
well i had to break my self impossed HAMB-vacation just to check out the new ride. looks waaaay cool. you need to bring it over to my place for some airbags so we can lay that bitch out right! so you gonna keep this one more than ten minutes?? it sure looks like the nicest one you've drug home yet and it's like a full on WILD Kustom right from the factory. just add wheels and lower it. i wanna be first in line when you get bored with it and want to give it away. someones gotta give you shit, you change cars like FATHACK changes his skivees. twice a year!! LOL ....damn, i'm funny when i get up early in the morning. Mike

(And FYI...I got a few new pair for Christmas, so I can up it to once a month, you snot! ) Gimme your address and I'll prepare a little package for ya!
BUHAHA.. thanks Mikey.. I do have a tendency to change cars quite a bit. Probably a fat chance I'll be givin' her away though! mmmmmm airbags... don't tease me you gay bitch!
T.E. - gorgeous car. Are you looking for factory two fours? I have an Offenhauser manifold I was going to use on my 413 but decided not to - bead blasted and ready to go. No carbs.

TinyE, nice looking car you have there. I would just lower it and use Astro's with skinny whites. Drive it and have fun.
That is my all time favorite Mopar product! It's gotta have Chrysler Imperial (style at least) chrome wire wheels and the skinny whites....just gotta!
Thanks everyone! Like I said, this one is really.. I love all Virgil Exner products but this one is my favorite w/those nutty-ass headlights! Like somoeone else said, a custom from the factory!
anyone sellin a stearing wheel like that? damn its fuckin cool lookin... and a space saver also.. I need one cus my 27rpu is so small inside and I am 6foot tall. Anyone?
[ QUOTE ] more.... [/ QUOTE ] I think something is wrong with your steering wheel. Just kidding! If you want to sell the wheel let me know. I want to try and put it my 59. Great looking car!
there is a white 62 a block from my house in an old guys backyard. The thing hasnt moved in 3 years but someone must wash it cause it's always clean. If I wasn't such a nice guy I would have snagged the steering wheel and tailights by now.
I never really paid much attention to those cars...it has a great ass end! Congrats. Maybe I'll see it in person this year.
