Found my 3rd brake light!

Anybody parting out or have a local junkyard (not the Chevy dealer) with a red interior Fifth Avenue? I want to replace mine because it's broke and tilted a little. Also, if it has decent looking opera lights, I could still use the lenses. I would like pics of what I'm paying for also. Thanks!

I'll take that, 57 degrees they're calling for in my area Christmas day, practically shorts weather for me.

I saw that video and hope he posts more for it, although I saw the one he did for a Granada several months ago and no video showing updates. Glad he got both cars running though, that's a good start.

I love the car, but not the price. Hell, there's a guy on Scambook selling an 84 Fifth Avenue for $30,000. In a world full of people, they might find their buyer.

Happy Thanksgiving!

If they use the same part as the Fifth Avenues, Mopar part number 4762319 will work. I needed a new pump and the grommet was included. Mopar Parts Giant had some leftover new ones in stock, still in Chrysler Corporation packages.

I'll do that. I'll talk to my mechanic too and see if it's a job he'd want to take on. I wondered if using B-body stripping would work if trimmed right, but it's too expensive a project for me to want to try and fail on.

I found that out over the last few years. I do fortunately have a classic and vintage auto dealer with a body shop outside of town who said they can help with that.

That's a job that needs tackled on my windows, the felts and rubber material are all dry rotted and cracked, but the pieces that wrap around the doors and the trunk lid are in good condition.

Glued shut, did they say why lol? My 2013 200 had a moonroof and I rarely used it. I found I really didn't enjoy it, although I have enjoyed the full top down of a convertible. If there's enough decent weather whenever I get the car back I'll dig into the windows, but I have a feeling it'll be...

I'm having it hauled over tomorrow to have the exhaust replaced and get rid of the towing hitch before my mechanic gets it to finish the work up, but the rest of the windows may be a fall or winter project at the storage unit.

Thanks, that's the one. Bookmarked it this time. All 4 windows operate differently; front driver's window slips on the way down, front passenger moves very slowly and requires help going up, rear passenger window works fine, rear diver's window does nothing.

Found this on Craigslist this morning. The engine turns, but hasn't run since '91. Brown on brown with around 84,000 miles and the original fuel injection setup for $2000. https://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/cto/d/pittsburgh-1981-imperial/7663873883.html

Thanks guys. I already bought the new motor just as a quick swap fix, then try out the rebuild myself when I have a little time when the weather starts to cool. I remember finding a link her to one of the other For Bodies only sites with a few different methods of rebuild, using nuts or rubber...
