Howdy all. Just got a "new to me" 1978 Diplomat 2 door. Took awhile to find this one. The original owner (91 years old) sold the car to a collector. He kept the car in his collection for several years in a climate controlled building until he decided to thin out his collection. It's kind of a unicorn.

Very cool...bought my coupe ('80) from the original owner, who bought the car from her dad while he was a sales guy at a local Mopar dealer.

Nice looking car? What options does it have to place it in the unicorn file? There a few like it on this site, I think most recent a really nice one in Red. A bit odd but good that most I see are really really nice examples so folks must really take good care of them.

What are your plans for the car?

Sharp Diplomat there! You bought that from Dave, the "Old Hippie" down in Texas. He used to run a Great MoPar site called MoPar Style. I remember seeing the videos that he made of this car and him driving it... Putting a 4-barrel on it and the air conditioning was working ice cold... I'm sure it's a very nice car it looks like it was well cared for and certainly you bought it from a real decent guy. As you probably know he's got a killer collection of cars and my favorite is his full size. Black B body Dodge Magnum!

At any rate, add some cool wheels on that thing,combined with a very nice color to begin with, and you have yourself a real looker. Enjoy!

I did get it from Dave. He's "thinning the herd". Car needs a little "gathering" but should be ready by spring.
