Hey everyone. its nice to find a site dedicated to these cars. Ive had 1 Diplomat , 1 Volare, 2 Cordoba's 2 Mirada's,and 2 Fifth Ave's. Right now i have an 01 Grand Caravan, 81 Cordoba , 80 Mirada. Ive actually given the Mirada to my 14 yr old son. he loves all these cars too. We're just finishing that car now . I have lots of plans for the Cordoba next . I would like to put a 5.9 magnum in and change it over to an LS . I have all the body parts to do it. We even have a t shirt that was given out on the first day of production for the launch of the Mirada and Cordoba in plant 3 and a few other lunch pail parts!

Pete made it.
My kind of Mopar guy with a son wearing a Mopar hat.
Wife had a Dead Wings jacket on, so she'll watch hockey. That's always good.
I sold him the 81 Dip 2dr.

I'm very happy the 2dr dip found a good home.
I'm even happier to find it a good home.
I was getting VERY close to parting and sending the remains to the wreckers.
But you don't see 81 2dr Diplomats up for sale.
If it was a F, I might have passed, because I can get an F.

My dad and I brought the 1981 Diplomat home safely. We sprayed a little brake clean in the carb and she roared to life. We plan on leaving it a Super Six. Maybe even a red interior? But now we just have to focus on what we have now. Thanks Dr Lebaron!

got the 81 dippy home safely and in a spot in the driveway. had to play Tetris with all the cars but we got her in . Dr Lebaron treated me pretty fair on my purchase . Will a mirada steering column fit in it ? I have a couple of consoles and a steering column without shifter from a parts mirada . i even got the steel brackets that were welded to the trans hump for the console.
