Thanks for the interest and per request here’s some more. The interior is all original. She has a couple dry rot cracks on the dash pad and a seam is coming apart on the drivers side…oh and the wind lace in the last pic has been replaced. Gotta love the original lube stickers

That’s a ‘59 Imperial, aka, Norma Rose. She’s getting some love thanks to an 09 SRT8!!! Motor, trans, front and rear subframe swap. And the bags are for her too

Just turning crazy ideas into reality!

Now THAT is beautiful! A true 'milestone' car as the '61 was a one year only design and the last year for the Windsor/Newport in USA. While a redesigned Windsor model continued to be sold in Canada until '66, in the USA it was superceded by the 300 in '62. Curious as to whether yours has the dual-quad RB 413 or otherwise? More pics please.

Unfortunately, she doesn’t have the cross rams. 383 with a 2 barrel was stock. I do have a 413 that came out of the ‘59 Imperial that if I found a cross Ram, would rebuild and drop into some other project!

Thanks for all the pics and details. It's an awesome car and the fact that you're keeping it original, plus the mechanical upgrades, is icing on the cake. Best wishes and happy holidays!
