I don’t know where you’re from, but where I’m from (middle part of the US), back in the 70s and into the early 80s, there just wasn’t as much of a dealer network for import cars, and getting parts and service could be a problem (i.e. you’d have to wait for parts to be shipped from Europe or Japan). So it made sense to…

When the Vega/Monza/Chevette debuted, the Japanese competetion was rear-wheel drive as well. But yeah, US small cars at the time had cramped interiors compared to the imported competition.

The car you’re describing sounds more like the Seville, which came out in the 70s

I’ve ordered from Rock Auto once, and had a bad experience. I know stuff happens, but was not happy with the way they handled it. The short version is they sent me a used part (someone’s core return, I assume). Ended up costing me nearly double since they required me to pay freight to return thier shitty used part (a…

When did Chrysler ever have their quality control shit together? I think you’d have to go back a long way for an example.

At over 281K miles, the owner (or a previous owner?) got their money’s worth out of this car already, and the price should reflect that.  Crack pipe at the asking price.

Dodge was the sporty brand with the performance image and styling, and competed with Chevy and Pontiac. Plymouth styling was more low-key and conservative, and targeted Buick/Olds buyers (i.e. older folks).  And Chrysler was the top-of-the-line models that was meant to compete with Cadillac and Lincoln.

I’ll add the Thunderbird Turbo Coupe and Super Coupe (which came out in ‘89). Of course there are a bunch of desirable imports from the ‘80s as well.

When I was a kid (late ‘60s and early ‘70s) my dad would let me and my brothers ride on the running boards of his ‘48 Ford pickup as he drove it on the unpaved access road to our farmhouse. I don’t have a picture of that truck, but here’s his ‘46 Chevy with me and brothers and cousins in the back.  Amazing we all…

Then we can dig it!

Go with canned or bottled drinks, problem solved.

Insta-Crack Pipe. I can see some potential there, but not sure I’d be willing to pay any amount to take on this project.  If I got it for free I’d be parting it out shortly thereafter.

That is absolutely a Daewoo Magnus (developed on the Leganza platform). There are still a bunch of these rolling around in Korea.

Pretty sure that’s in Vietnam. Almost all of their railroads are narrow gauge, dating back to the 1800s French colonial period.

“Like...magic?”

Yes, they make your money disappear.

Me too, but we’re not voting on $4K

Definitely a conversation starter, but they need to do the price like they did the van — cut it in half.
