I'm looking to sell a 1979 Mopar Passenger Car Parts Catalog that gives all the diagrams and parts numbers. It also includes Lebaron, Aspen, and Volare models along with other models as well. I'm looking to get $40 obo plus shipping within the lower 48 states. The item is located near Cicero...

So, I was talking with a mechanic friend last night online and he told me he liked the M-Bodies better than the R-Bodies because he stated they had better quality compared to the R-Bodies. From what I see, I don't see a huge variation thus far but looking at that the M-Body is an improved...

As I posted in a few threads I'm looking for an either an R-Body or M-Body Mopar. In the R-Body area I'm mainly looking for a 1979-1981 Chrysler New Yorker or a Dodge St. Regis in decent shape and not rust. The other car I'm considering is an 1988 or 1989 Chrysler Fifth Avenue also in decent...

It's been a while but, I have a few questions pertaining the last of the M-Bodies (Fifth Avenues). So, did the 88-89 all get the Nippondenso alternator? Next, did they come with the mini starter or still receive the older style starter? Next question was there any other electrical updates...

Hello all, long time. Anyways, long story short I've been thinking somewhere down the line picking up an 80-83 J-Body with a 318 or 360 (maybe) or maybe very late 88 or 89 Fifth Ave to drive on occasion to errands. Anyways, in the past I owned a sweet 84 Chrysler Fifth Avenue and miss the seats...

Just curious does anyone know if most of the 89 Chrysler Fifth Avenues have came with a 8 1/4 rear end and I'm just curious up to what point J-Bodies came with an 8 1/4 axle. I was thinking that platform switched to the 7 1/4 in 83 I think for V8 cars? Thank you in advance.

Okay, I'm considering a J-Body I'm looking at didn't have A/C from the factory. I'm wondering how much work or how much difficulty would it be to convert over to A/C? My biggest concern would be at the firewall and into the body of the car. I'm just wondering the differences there as well and if...

Hello, just dropping by here as I few cars on my list I'm considering and one that my wife would be into so it makes spending $$$ a little easier. Anyways, one of these an 81-83 Mirada's what is the good, the bad, and the ugly? I have an 84 Chrysler Fifth Avenue but, the wife doesn't like it...

So, I'm just curious I'm looking at a low mileage with about 60k miles on it. It has the simulated top and tuff steering wheel. Okay, here's the low down it needs an exhaust repaired, A/C recharged (supposedly), saggy headliner, and the factory radio needs repaired which I have a late 90s...

Well, I've decided to test the waters and put up this beautiful Chrysler Fifth Avenue for sale. It is loaded car with 96k miles. The A/C works and the car runs and drives well. It has a new exhaust, rebuilt carburetor, new tires, a recent tune up and some other things I'm missing at the moment...

Just wondering how much does the Mirada 10 spoke wheel weigh compared to the stock steel wheel with wire hubcaps? Thank you in advance.

Well, here's some random pictures of the 84 Fifth Avenue. Nightwatch Blue with 92k original miles. Loaded up with leather, trunk release, and the rear amp. Had it shipped from Bayonne, NJ. Paid a little more than I should have but, still a solid car.

Hello, I have an 84 Chrysler Fifth Avenue and I'm wondering what is the best way about detailing the engine yourself? I'm wanting to remove the grime and dirt from the engine and engine bay. Just wondering if anyone has any helpful tips and cleaners/chemicals used to detail. Thank you.

Okay while the car is running better when I take off from it still seems to sputter still like its running lean. I floored it once from 50 mph and it seems fine when I floored it. I don't think there should be any issues with the fuel system since the mechanic test the system pressure and the...

Haven't drove my new purchase at all other than around the lot. This thing is pretty clean and original. Anyways, here's the issue with the car. The car starts fine when cold. Pump three times and it fires right up. Fast idle it runs fine. If you kick it off of the choke it will idle for about...

Just looking for some wheel ideas for a 5th Avenue. I would really a set of Mirada wheels but, not sure where I can find them and if people are going to charge me an arm and leg for them.

I'm trying to get my ducks in a row with purchasing a car and I want to know what everyone recommends? I would be looking for an open transport rather than enclosed. Flying in and driving home probably wouldn't be an option right now especially if the car ends up being a 1,000 miles away. But, I...

I'm looking to a buy a nice '82-89 5th Avenue for a reasonable amount of money. I'm not looking for any projects would prefer an 85-89 but, wouldn't turn an 82-83 for right price. I'm looking for a decent turn-key driver with no major mechanical issues and rust free for the most part. I could...

Just wondering here in regards to the Chrysler Fifth Avenues. I think I'm going to shoot for a '85-89 model to drive daily during the non-snowy months. So, here's my questions. It looks like in '85 was the 1st year for the roller camshaft correct? So, all 85s should have the roller camshaft and...

Just a quick question. I'm think the later Chrysler 5th Avenues have a "Shunt" style Amp Gauge or does it have an actual Voltmeter? I know in 1983 Dodge trucks went to a full on volt gauge. I know that the "1st Gen" Dakotas had voltmeters as well. Was just curious on this and was wondering if...
