I daily drive mine.

I just bought an 86 Conv. it's a great car and parts are almost free. There are enough Chevelles and Mustangs too look at. I get more looks in my car.

I have about 10 that i cycle through monthly. Great cars barely use any fuel

I just bought an 88

I have a 1991 AY series New Yorker Fifth Avenue mark cross edition that I am restoring

I noticed that too. Dodge discontinued its "Big Horn" tractors after 1975. Even at that time, there were hardly any of those left around.

You do understand its supposed to be small right? You act like thats a bad thing. Im a gm fan and gm was definitely making shittier cars at the time

My olds 307 got 1/3rd Mpg of a K car. Good luck going anywhere today in one of those GM gas hogs. That is if the quadrajunk carb even lets it start...

@@thefinalroman never any problem with the 307’s we had. Dad averaged 23mpg on highway. Gas was cheap then. He wanted comfort and luxury for our family and we did huge road trips. Maybe your 307 needed a tune up?!

@@carsjt1076 the quadrabog got scrapped for a Holley and finally it ran..

And as the government saved GM.

Yeah but who or what will save Ford and Chrysler now. They’re both in serious trouble right now.

Those were the ones that broke lmao

@@Channel-cm7yc Which is why Chrysler dropped The Mitsubishi, and kept the 2.2. It's not just that commenter. Most mainstream media consumers automatically assume that any union made, American manufacturer's products are worse than the Japanese.

What ball was dropped? At that time who wasn’t dropping it? Guess you’d forgotten consider the Ford Pinto an Lee Iacocca creation oh yes let’s not forget the Chevy Vega disaster. Yes costs were cut, but in deeper channels. Timing chains where dropped in favor of timing belts etc etc. but who at that time wasn’t doing that. I guess you’d know since I’m sure you bought them and drove them 100’s of thousands of miles right? I did and my experience was nothing close to a disaster many claim. But then I take of my stuff and most do not and thus this crazy bias is made up!

@@Channel-cm7yc . I drove more of these S**t boxes than anyone you know. I'm not going to get lectured by anyone. I know exactly what these cars were, low cost, cheap Transportation that proved unreliable. The only thing I liked about these vehicles is that when someone brought one in for service you could sell a lot or repair work. Everything Wore out. 100% junk. The only saving grace is the best K Cars were the last year of Production. Fuel Injection made them a bit better in the driveability category, and the redesigned interior made them a bit more plush. That's it. The models with the 2.6 Mitsu engine were a Disaster.

@@mikegimenez2629 2.6 was trash but 2.2 2.5's are still going strong today while most other 80's cars are long dead... ua-cam.com/video/tBGBMl6QSEQ/v-deo.html

1973 and Prior was the last time Chrysler had good-looking cars.

Beautiful? Motivational? What video were you watching?

@@pcressma The one that I watched 6 months ago, about the Kcar

@@omarsmith8523 I know.....I was being sarcastic....it's not motivational or beautiful...this isn't a video about good triumphing over evil...it's a promotional video for a long dead economy car.

Well it's how you look at it I guess 😅

"Fuel Injection" by Alan Hawkshaw. You can find it on several Bruton Music albums.

@@VectraQS thanks. I went and found it and even hit the like button on a few others as well.

Thanks, great speaking voice. He really can Converse!?

AKA Will Chandler!

I Totally agree , I really hate those crossovers we have today umm back then cars had more character and style .

LOL they saved Chrysler from going Bankrupt..

Yes, it did good for Chrysler but bad for the customer. They look so cheap and unsafe. Here is what someone wrote about it: Ahh yes, the venerable K-cars. These suckers (laughably) may have saved Chrysler from bankruptcy in the early 1980s (thanks to their small exteriors, six-passenger interiors, and fuel efficient engines). Their platform eventually spawned nearly every front wheel drive Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth developed during the 1980s, including the minivans. That would be fine if it was a well-engineered starting point, but the K platform wasn’t state of the art and was the victim of cost cutting. It was also engineered to be lightweight for fuel economy reasons, and in a cheap car, lightweight does not mean exotic materials, it means thinner materials and de-contenting. Like the later Neon, these cars had head gasket problems with the ubiquitous 2.2 liter fours, and Chrysler’s attempt at marketing a Japanese engine in them (supplied by Mitsubishi as a 2.6 liter) backfired because those engines blew themselves up. They did sell more than a million units of these cars in a single (long) generation, but it’s a safe bet there weren’t a million happy owners.

True but what did they do to us? They look so cheap and unsafe. Shame on Chrysler, Ford and GM for not making good quality small cars like Datsun and now Toyota.

@@scootergreen3 I got my drivers licence in a Plymouth Reliant lol I kinda have a soft spot for the K cars , it was my instructors car .

Well, I can understand that Buck Gonsalvez. I guess I'm so bored I'm just trolling a bit. It looks like a lot of people were happy with theirs. Thanks.

How could you! Just kidding. Ha ha!

I still have mine today.. 1985 lebaron turbo.. 350,000 miles and still going strong
