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...

I'll probably be swapping out the window motor this weekend and was wondering, can the old motor be removed without propping up the window with a block or is it currently held up by the window motor gear? If I need a block, how tall? I'm swapping with a Dorman motor for now and will probably...

I used to frequent that site and Mike's Chrysler Fifth Avenue page back in the 90's and early 2000's, and then more recently since buying my current 5th Ave. There is a lot of good info there for people new to these cars. Fortunately, there's a lot of help here and at Allpar.

The company's legit, but I'd call to verify that they actually have the stuff. I don't recall what I tried to order from them a couple years ago, but I got an email back saying they didn't have the part and just kept the photo up for reference. I did recently order a NOS windshield washer pump...

I communicated with my mechanic and he's hoping to get my 5th over to his place to finish up the work on the car, that was some good news, so I took to it and did some work on it myself that is unrelated to what he's doing. Removed the valve covers to re-replace the gaskets and replaced the old...

So that's why they do it.

Here's a link to a video I posted on Rumble. It's not wonderful, but it does show in better detail than the picture how it looks as it is.

The original tank is gone since it had a leak on top, that was part of the reason I went ahead and had the EFI system installed, just get it all done in one shot. It gets me because I've offered multiple times to put more money toward the work so we could get it done and they turned it down. I...

I hadn't touched anything he worked on because I didn't want to lose parts or mess up any of his work in case he does get back to me soon. He does very good work, been out at that dealership for a long time and has worked on my truck, I don't blame him for leaving, (new owners are A-holes to...

I had the car in to have the front suspension rebuilt and to swap out the lean burn for the Holley Sniper EFI in March of 2022. I'd go in once a month to check on it, talk about it, look at it and told it should all be done soon, we'll have it running very soon, etc. Long story short, they were...

Ah damn and I had that put in with mine. I think I may be sending mine off to the scrap yard soon anyway. I've reached the point that if work doesn't resume on it by September, I'll take my losses and have it crushed. Lesson learned, but the financial loss I'd take going that route will be worth...
