With all the talk about the controversial Imperials being raced lately i thought i was focus a video on one particular model which managed an impressive 6 meetings causing some massive crashes and leaving behind some devastating wrecks. Enjoy!

Some of those head ons were solid 😮😮😮
Chrysler Imperial. Unstoppable instrument of death praying for war!
Quality
You BLOOGs don't know how to set an Imperial up at all do ya .. In The States we would've killed everyone in all of the other cars . 64 -73 Imperial 04 Crown Vic will destroy anything you Reds Have.
A top driver,some awsome wheel work as always
So true, good sportsmanship in rare. A simple handshake goes a long was. We can be as tough as it gets gut still remind Tge drivers n fans its a shoo not a bloodsport !!
How do you build a proper banger with reusible key parts; ie coolind tsnks impact dars etc. We race "?trash cars" in west coast ans thw key equilpmnt abbs up. The cars cooling is the first ti go and its all dowm hill fron there as you knaw
Sad
Imperial were a proper banger shame orci banned them
Good action in that one makes me wanna go again 😊
Don't worry...it'll buff out, it's an Imperial !! 😂😂
Die genauso böse Schwester von Christine! Sieht gemein und furchteinflößend aus. Mich schauderts. Und der Fahrer ist super!
Great Drifting and Good Driving Skills
Oh yea! American car tearing it up in a British event! Front ends of those things will not bend!
Gotta laugh at the thought of Americans looking up "Chrysler Imperial" then coming across this video and thinking "what is this absolutely insane shit!?". They probably can't fathom racing where cars actually try to hit/crash/spin each other.
what gets them is the speed, their demo derbys are slow mud plugging events
@@messylaura Battle of the most durable radiators
Did anyone go to Imperials vs the world that demolition derby that was just yesterday. It was in Whitney Point New York
"By the roars of the crowd, I take it that the venue sells a helluva lot of ale".
Nice camera work and well edited. Good driving. One of the best ive seen. Well done.
Why does he have that 🇬🇧 on his helmet is he from the uk
ya he is
Should’ve played the theme song from the movie Jaws throughout the video.
This is incredible stupidity. As low as automotive spirit can go. Is this how we are going to make America great again? By destroying its automotive heritage in the most idiotic way?
it was epic
I had an old plymoth savoy, it had 3ft between the front bumper and the radiator. It was a land tank
As opposed to a sea tank 😂
Stupide game with a Chrysler impérial!
The real "secret" to the cars were you didn't have to baby the front end. If you know the cars well enough, you'd notice that the front fenders were welded to a steel header panel that attached them together across the front above the grill, and another in the vent intake between the back of the hood and th bottom of the windshield. Once you bolted the flat hood down tight into the "hole" it sat in, as opposed to on like most cars, it was a one piece front clip. No matter how hard you hit it, it would only wrinkle a little at a time.
After these were banned, because if you had five or six running against each other, it might have been whoever had the most fuel would win. With the largest legal gas tank, that could be the next morning (LOL). Many switched to the the full sized GM wagons. Lower the tailgate about an inch or two, then weld it everywhere you could, then it was close to being as strong as a Imperial.
DDS029 the sedan caprice is stronger i think. If its not so rusty and they weld the trunk up so its a one piece rear and front end it might be even stronger than a wagon because the roof will always make it bend down.
Check out the videos Pine City Imperials put up by Dwight Eisenhower. All "yank tank" derby heats and they are surely hard to kill.
VERY GOOD AMERICAN CARS
Has that thing got a Ford 'Essex' V6. Sure didn't sound like a V8. Maybe the engine & drive-train was sold on long ago.
- essex or cologne v6 id imagine - cologne being the better of the two
My guess would be for fuel economy. You could only get it so fast in such a small track, so you only needed to be close on power-to-weight ratio. Because you would need enough gas to run it long enough if at the end you were facing another Imperial, and had to have enough gas to out run it.
best in car footage ive seen
your a good drive in banger carry on that spectaculer crashing whooo
*You're
That was one of the most beautful examples of racing Ive ever seen. Im from the midwest USA where demo derbies are common, but this race was extraordinary!
Nice !, but I Say, are "Bangers" the favourite food-stuff at these dust-ups, what ?
imperials vs. anything they come out on top mostly banned in north America
Sounds alot like a aussie hemi 265 6cylinder in that ruthless beast,I cant think of any other old 6 cylinder that will scream like that its definitely not a v8.
- its a 'cologne' v6 id imagine as is the banger boys engine of choice, that and the 'essex' v6
Derby should be banned totally ,they cars spew all sorts of fluids and such all over the place and worse the destruction of much classic American iron ,derby idiots are a very good argument for abortion
He Lewis it is shannon
Because the v8s are to big and heavy n take up to much space, besides they can get over 200hp out of a lil 2.9 ya know
Hello
Yes this certainly is a crime. Watching this saddens me to think what wonderful well made cars the Imperials were. Very sad to end up like this. I am glad I will only see this once. Definitely NO 'Like' for this one.
It wouldn't be so bad but the car was actually in a restorable state. Bought direct from the US just to be smashed up here. To me they have no respect for classics. They say they can buy and they can do what they want with it, but if they like banger racing, find a car that wouldn't be as valuable or rare. And these people wonder why the classic community dislike them?
v8cool 2 I agree,but granadas gone,just jags n the odd rolls now as as bigger rwd cars go,theres a shortage.
@@v8cool231 Thats just metal, you can build them again anyway 😂
If follow-ins are banned in every other banger formula why not in national bangers as well? I see no sense whatsoever in piling into the back of a car that is already stopped. If you are driving modern cars then they just can't take the sort of rear end collision the older iron can, the buggers fold up like an envelope. So,why not keep that sort of thing a D.D.
NJPurling it is pureley if there are no dents in the back, drivers dont like that. They want everything destroyed even if the car doesnt run anymore
they are imperial, not chrysler! and they are too damn rare to demo them! a lot of good parts on them if they are not worth saving to restore! demoing them is bullshit!
You're bullshit.
They are Chrysler, you dipshit!
Well, technically they aren't Chryslers, in the same way that Lincolns aren't technically Fords but are owned by the same company.
So that's what 4 tons of American made does at a banger race, those old imperials are King of demo derby in USA.
They are so good that under USA rules the Imperials are ILLEGAL!
Why doesn't it have a V8 in it?
The engine was probably worth far more? Maybe bought as a rolling chassis and received a Ford 6-pot. Leaves a lot of room at the front to soak up damage. Acceleration doesn't matter when there's that much metal moving. The 6-pot engine maybe has better acceleration and the stick-shift manual trans is far stronger.
nemises nemesis
64 to 66 are even stronger the older ones no were as strong
ken hall 62-63 were similarly tough if you prebend the metal the right way and put better bumpers on it
The frames are pretty much the same from the late 50s (57? I think?) thru the 66 imperials, I've even seen some other late 50s Chrysler/dodges that had that massive 8" wide frame under it like the imperial... but for the older ones it's a lot to do with prepping the car and pre-bending it. On the winged imperials you fold the wings down to the trunk lid and run althread to the frame, or weld it to the trunk lid if allowed.. on the front end, where the fenders over hung above the head lights you beat that down and weld or bolt it to the core support or even top of the bumper depending on what bumper and where it's mounted and how much the sheet metal over hangs... I've personally only ran boxcar (64-66) imperials but I've seen some tough early 60s ones and also done a good bit of research on making the older ones tough because I was going to run a 61 imperial one time until they banned imperials at the tracks I ran mainly because everyone got tired of being beat by my 64, I'd annihilate fresh cars with it, the ole girl still had some runs left in her, it broke my heart to put it in the crusher...
great footage and very good driving.
Fuckin' thing's a beast :-)
what kind of car was that?
Ford LTD
+lewis parry now I seen it...it did well. I use to run old Chryslers over here in the states.
At least it's only yank tanks they're destroying and not proper classics like Escorts, Sierras and so on... You can always rely on Jonesy to put on a good show as well.
One of the best incar's I've seen, really good to see the smash from inside and then from outside as well. Also good to see a handshake and good sportmanship, which seems to be a dying art nowadays.
RC Fun Everyday .j
I saw the one at the 2014 world at ipswich.what a beast they are.The way it keeps coming back for more really reminds me of the horror film "christiene".Its always a shame the old classics getting wrecked especialy at these Amble meets were over 100 are destroyed in one night.But dont blame the drivers.Its upto the people selling these cars to choose who has it and who dosnt.Bangers are as good as they have ever been unlike the dropping turnouts from other formulas.Which is a shame.I raced ministox then 2 litre stocksaloons and would love to race for spedeworth again.And i guess it would have to be national bangers as there now the only formula that you can still follow people in.. Great video thanks for sharing
