Classic/Antique Car Repair: Parts enterchange, murray park, mopar parts
QuestionWill the fenders & entire doors w/pwr ops.from 66 hardtop enterchange w/65 landau w/o pwr ops.?Will the hinges & strikers match up?.............Will the doors(entire 4 doors)from 71 Imperial w/pwr ops.enterchange with 69 newport car w/out pwr ops.?Will the hinges & strikers match up?
AnswerI don't think so, but I do not have a Hollander's manual for that late a car, so I can't look it up for you. While the door openings and the hinges might match, I don't think the body is the same shape on the outside, so the installation would look wierd. I think the Imperial has sculptured body sides, with a ridge along the door just above the rocker panel. I think the Newport has perfectly plain sides - no ridge at all.
The person to ask is someone who deals in MOPAR parts as a business. I recommend Murray Park in Ohio. You can contact him at:
