Greetings all, my name is Andrew. I bought an 86 Chrysler fifth ave about 6 months ago and love it! It is a survivor, I bought it from the second owner who got it from a little old lady who bought it new and only drove it about 86,000mi. The body is in really decent shape and the interior is immaculate. I bought this car for a fun family cruiser. I remember as a kid, my dad had this same body style fifth ave which he completely tricked out the 318 engine on and it even had nitrous. What a fun ride as kid. I am a Mopar master certified technician at a dealership here in ohio, I have a lot of modern mopar knowledge but not so much on the older vehicles. Hope to learn a lot about this chassis here. Im just starting to modify the vehicle to my liking and many pics will follow.

You're in the right place with the right car.

Welcome & have fun.
 
Welcome to the forum!

Boy, that ride sure looks to be in great shape given the model year & in general how old it is. Looks like you did do a little clean-up and some work on it already as well, engine bay looks nice for sure!

So what are your plans?

Good looking ride! Welcome!!
 
Wow that looks clean. Way cleaner than mine under the hood.

Got any specific plans in mind for the motor?
 
Beautiful car, beautiful condition. I have a white 82 Cordoba, that I have had since new. Can I ask what radio you have installed in your Fifth? I have a 2002 Sebring, convertible, that my wife wants me to put in a radio, with back up camera. It takes a 1.5 DIN, Thanks

Thanks everyone. My plans are just to make it a little more reliable, and potentially a little quicker. Mostly to cruise on the weekends with my wife and son. Right now im finishing up a lean burn delete. I have some rear leafs I need to get on. Im also in search a cop car rear end and speedo.
