A local guy has a 75 Imperial and NY and I am wondering if there is anything that is nice to have off of these cars? He is using it in a demo derby. It has rear disc brakes-might these be useable? ANy other suggestions?

Hate to see that one go derby.

BUT, the diff. w/those disc brakes is worth saving.

I assume it is an 8 3/4? I doubt there were any sure grips available right? I have not seen the unit yet.

Engine (440 or 400), transmission, rear end. Any trim in decent shape that can be removed before the demo derby. Restorable AC components (before derby).

Most, if not all, went to 9.25's in 74.
About a 1/3 had S/G's and about a 1/4 had RWDB.
Plenty of parts available because so many trucks and Jeeps had them. Been proven to be stonger than an 8 3/4 but it just don't get any respect.

Any nice trim or interior parts would be good to snag, probably not worth anything but nearly impossible to find.

I had a 74 Imperial that went the same route a few years ago, clean body with no rust and 58k miles but it had been sitting since '78, the mice ate the wiring and interior from '78-'93 while it was garaged and from '93-05 the sun and location where it was stored destroyed the paint/interior and aluminum trim after it was moved outside.
