Take the backseat out, and see if you can crawl back in there

You will get it done !!

glad you got this away from the demo derby jerks

Don't be afraid of locks. You can do it. Most of these are very simple and just go in and you will see how the tabs and keys work. I have keyed many cars to use one key for all locks. Trust me that you should try this and it is not hard at all.

Neat old car❤❤

Man that's just some darn fun there! Keep slugging away at it!

You can pop them switches apart,and clean them,lube em with a drip of ATF,it's not petrol based. If the radio has a tube, it has to warm up.

Glad to see you putting it back on the road, very good looking Imperial.

A new wire harness would fix these problems for another 60 years😊

Electrical gremlins in that old car🎉

Are you trying to fix this car as it is? You might be 30 years too late.

I would concentrate on getting it running before worrying about anything else. Looks like a relatively clean car. How bad is the rust?

$19.95...NO UPS NO EXTRAS...GENERAL ELECTRIC SILICONES...EARL SCHIEB...😊

Always loved the floating headlight look on these beasts. If she’s ever up for sale I call dibs!

The "Driver" for the dash lights are Electroluminescent little tiny white bars or rods that look like warehouse-type florescent bulbs, that Driver/power pack may be bad. I had a '63 Imperial (same dash) and all of the wiring to those bulbs were totally fried from some short or too much current coming from the power pack.

You are correct about the iridescent front material not being original. All 4 doors would have matched the rear of the front seat. There is a very nice series of refence photos on a car sales sight. Search google: "1962 IMPERIAL LEBARON Orlando classic cars". Its a black one and looks 100% correct. All the lower door panels match each other, and all have that same striped material you showed on the back of your front seat.

Spray your electrical switches and connections with a spray can of CRC electronic cleaner sold at any hardware store of home improvement center. It etches the metal surface areas for factory new contact.

Thanks for the videos Im watching and Fully entertained

Get a fully charged battery ..turn the ignition switch on and use jumper wires and a test light to get ur windows working...

A long, long time ago, someone was too stupid to buy a '62 Lincoln.

Thanks for restoring something which is beautiful. I appreciate it.

Thanks mate! Always have loved those Imperials. So beautiful! Give her life...

Acid bath.

I Love it Tim

Hello from the UK. Amazing car, hope you are able to restore it.

Good Luck fixing this ol girl up. When car's were car's!😊

Have a 62 crown hardtop in white if your interested..

Your old Huh ? That would be a daunting task for a young professional. Must be love, because it's definitely not a money maker.

So why not just CLIMB ACROSS THE SEAT & unlock the door?????

Vintage parts are expensive. That car will cost a fortune to restore.

wash it and then do a real quick hand rub with cleaner wax with 2 rags. It's good light exercise if you take your time. Leave the carpet for now and just shampoo everything and work on cleaning the dash. Keep going on the headliner removal . Treat all the surface rust. If you can borrow or buy and ozone generator it can kill all the odors. I would be focused on cleaning and getting it started if possible. When you pull the carpet you should be ready to pull the seats and do everything you need to do and get it back together so it isn't worth it. Just vacuuming and shampoo won't take long and at least it will help kill the smell.

That ring at 4:29 looks like it's for the fuel filler neck. The spring may be for the door check arm that is likely broken.

You need to pull the headlight switch for them to come on. If they still don't work, check the connector at the high beam floor switch. They often get corrrosion from water getting into them.

You have your hands full.

The old imperials are great, I like all the extras they put on them back Then, Especially the steering.

Just to clarify, I said I vacuumed it out, I was talking about the intake manifold. I want to make sure there wasn't anything like acorns, rat turds, pine straw, etc...that might get sucked into the valves and down into the cylinders. It was as clean as I could get it. I will rebuild the engine, but if I can get her up and running without doing it, I can drive her around as a rat rod until the restoration is complete.

This is a dual air car !

Just buy a new ingition switch.25 ,30 bucks

Thats cool, good luck. I hope it all goes well.

My God, I thought I had a project ahead of me with a 72 Toranado. Miles of metal, and cloth for days.

Closeups of junk and complaints. Not for me I reckon.

What ever happened to the second gen ram u had?

You sound just like Louisiana senator John Kennedy. Love your car.

Great save ! She's gonna be gorgeous. I used to think the early 60's Exiner Mopar's were a little cartoonish but nowadays, I can't get enough of 'em. Definitely put her back in white...👍🏁

Hope to see more of this one, sweet old girl, cheers

Gadzooks, that's ugly.

Rare dual A/C car !

You are correct about the roof rusting issues on the 60 LeBarons, but not on the 61, it has the exact same roof panel as the 62 and 63. For 60, the limousine style rear window styling was achieved by welding an insert into the wrap-around window opening of the regular Imperial. But the 61 gets the new one-piece roof panel. Beautiful car.

When all done you'll have one sweet ride Good Luck...pls more vidio's
