Hi FMJ bodies forum members. I just made a deal on a one family owned 1988 5th Avenue this morning. A bit about my history with these cars: my very first car I bought at age 15 in the late ‘80s was a 1981 Plymouth Caravelle slant 6. It was a twin to the Diplomat used in the TV show Greatest American Hero. My second car was a 1979 Roadrunner 360-4Bbl. I last owned one of these Mopars, a 1980 Aspen 4 door slant 6 in 1998.

Anyways here are a couple pics from this morning. 73,000 km garage kept, last insured in 2003. Been started and yard driven regularly over those years. It is pretty clean, couple scratches and slight sagging beginning in roof liner. Needs tires! They are 30+ years old. Maybe originals.

Hope to find out some good sources of parts and tips from all the experts here.

Some more pics. One of the original mud flaps that reads Chrysler is missing. Can I source a set or should I remove the other 3?

Welcome to the forum, that’s a good looking ride!
Thank you Oldiron440. Appreciate the welcome. It’s got some garage dings and touch up paint dabs but an honest car.
Everything works on it as far as I can tell, including the opera lights, power antenna and the factory power moonroof.
