More like what Mopar am I starting. It's an '85 Fifth Avenue that my son bought off Craigstlist. It's got a massive transmission leak so for now it's sitting in the garage until we can get it looked at. It runs so the project is just beginning. Back windows don't go up or down. Front windows do but the shake rattle and roll like crazy. TOp part of the vinyl roof has seen better days.

First Mopar for me so glad a found this forum. It's brown with some funky multi colored interior. Carpet looks a bit orangish like a lion. Headliner and trim cloth appears to be tan and the seats look gold/yellowish. I see about 4-5 different colors going on so not sure it just age or if it was like that on purpose. But one thing is for sure it's the most comfortable car I've ever been in. It's like driving around a nice leather sofa.

So glad you found us.
Search the forums and there is plenty to find from mechanicals to interior.

Several of us have done the renovation for the vinyl roof ourselves.
And I did my interior (lots of sweat equity in that).

I'm fighting a packrat war on my wiring right now so the paint job will wait.

Agree about the seats and the big grin you have on your face when you go down the highway as you press your foot to the floor... just all kinds of good.

Good luck with the tranny. Not somewhere I've been before, but others here have.
