Good Looking car....good luck with the sale...remember to be patient...sometimes it takes a very long time until the right person finds it

Really nice !

Thanks guys, really appreciate it. The car is soild. It was never a rust bucket and has been stored every winter. The car works well, as with any older car, it always needs a little something here or there, but its never let me down. I'm selling it because of life and because I want to get my Duster on the road. I've had the Diplomat now since Sept 2007.

Reduced, $6900 obo.

Car has had all 4 head lights replaced since it was posted.

Winter storage is approaching and I would like to have this car sold before then. I have lowered to the price to a more realistic one. I am asking $4000 for the Diplomat now. The car still works great and looks great, but I would like to see it go to a good home and get my Duster on the road by spring.

Good deal for someone...I already have three with another one I am picking up on the 1st otherwise I would take it.

Thanks. Hopefully it does sell soon!

So... Did this car sell?

Here 88's are junk due to E-testing. No one wants them.

This guy can't give his away.

Well, that one looks kinda hideous, but you know how picky I am. What changed in 1988?

Here 88 and newer get sniffed for life. We just strip 88/89's.

The hideous $600 Dip has $200 easy of wheels.
$350 for scrap steel, then all the parts.

 

[Jack Meoff]

Yep. Here in Ontario the smog gestapo (in their infinite tree hugging wisdom) changed the rules from 20 years to anything 88 and newer. 88 and up gets the sniff test for life. Nice car though. Good luck with it.

Other than the gauges, are there mechanical differences between a US and Canadian model?

 

[Dr Lebaron]

Nope. Just the speedo.
I know they cross the border either way hassle free.

What car are those wheels correct for.

 

[Jonno]

Likely being in Windsor hasn't helped the red car with the economy there.
For sure that thing is worth $600 to someone local to it.

 

[inmywj]

Those wheels were introduced in 80 or 81 and ran until 83. They were optional on the Cordoba, Mirada, LeBaron and on the 82/83 New Yorker. I have seen a few R bodies with them, but I am not sure if they were options or if people put them on. I like them on the right car. I really think they look great on a J body.

Oh beautiful car. If this were closer, I'd be having a conversation with the wife right now. Good luck with the sale (or maybe it's already sold).
