For all the hate you are going to get, and are getting, for this woody wagon, here's a thumbs up from me! I'm always down with preserving AND USING old iron for the public to enjoy seeing on the road. Taking something like this and squirreling it away would be a travesty as it's so nice. Good for you guys!

The large speaker hole is for the AM only radio that was still offered “back in the day”. The car would have only the one speaker and nothing else. You guys ended up with the luxury edition, what luck! Enjoy that thing, brings me back decades, as every third kid in high school had one iteration or another of this car. Mom and Dad had handed this down to them, and it was party time! The wrap job looks better than factory original.

@throttlebottle5906 Ай бұрын

actually they had a mono AM-FM option if I recall properly(as a kid). but yes that was for the lowest end wagon/car audio option. my first used junker had a mono- am/fm radio. of course I upgraded it for fm stereo cassette and random old house speakers iN the rear(hatch-back), it worked and heard over the road/wind noise of windows down summers.

@DefconMaster Ай бұрын

We also had a K car. It was a 1984 Plymouth Reliant. It had the Mopar engine. We also ordered a Plymouth Caravelle that used the same engine but it was a fuel injected car. Thank you for sharing your Mitsubishi powered car. Enjoy. Our car was given to our son after he was married. It met an untimely end. It was T-boned in an intersection by a "stolen" car. The Plymouth Caravelle was driven until the wheels fell off. It had over 350,000 km in Canada. I had changed the engine oil almost religiously.

Wow, I forgot that a lot of those had the 2.6 Mitsubishi engine in them. I'm used to seeing the 2.2 Mopar 4 banger (with or without turbo). My neighbor had an Omni GLH with the 2.2 turbo, and it was a rocket!😂 The broken pipe is actually for EGR. Just set the timing back a couple degrees to keep the pre-ignition down, and you'll be good! Those engines have a bit of a slow cam in them to try to meet emissions for the day when they were still carbureted. I dunno if you could even GET a performance cam that would eliminate that.🤷‍♂ *EDIT:* The plastic hubcaps you got actually fit the vintage of the car nicely!😉

I honestly don't believe I have watched one installment on your channel that hasn't made me smile at least a few times!!! Please keep the awesome content comin'!!! Also I have always wanted to take a 1987ish Plymouth Voyager yank out the anemic factory drive train and stuff a built 426 between and behind the front seats kinda like the early to mid 60s Mopar and Ford vans had and back it up with a 4- or 5-speed tranny! I'm thinking that would almost have to be the ULTIMATE grocery getter!!!!

I drove a few rental K-Cars as an electronic service tech in the late 80’s. The 2.2 l auto was ok but they mostly had air conditioning which was nice. I wound up driving a 2.2 l Plymouth Horizon a lot, which did not have AC and had to be moving to get any airflow but it would do 140 kph on the 401, which was fun. With the windows down the unlocked back hatch opened up on the highway once..that was funny.

@That-Guy-79 Ай бұрын

83 Dodge rampage. Flying down the highway. Bang. Just a simple backfire, I thought. End up getting it towed home. Find out the rotor in the distributor sheared the index tab and rotated 180 out of time. Only K car I ever had. Still have the aluminum Gem top canopy too.

13:28 real heavy gauge metal and thick rear glass, the plastic and insulation weigh not much unless water logged, but fiberglass doesn't hold water well(unless frozen to ice). they were designed to keep and hold 500LBS+ material/food/random material(kids) from slamming out the back when turning fast or steep inclines. relatives back then hauled wheels of swiss cheese and multiple 50lbs crates of smoked meats at once, which would wildly slide around on the steep grades(20%+)

12cyl of hemi. He should run both engines together on track. Rally drivers figured out you don’t have to have two engines that make similar power. One strong and one weak works great. A legend once had a twin vw engines, Rear was turbo Front was na And they play together happily. 😊

A little tech tip for you on Chrysler glass. It always weights more than others because when it's manufactured they have a higher content of silica in it for sound control. All the older Chrysler glass was a true 1/4 inch thick unlike other manufacturers who were progressing towards thinner glass for weight savings and fuel economy

Are you old enough to remember the Morris Minorv wagon that had the 427 in the back... he was from Stoney Creek i think. Used to drive it with the 1000cc engine with the yarn clutch... blowby galore. He'd pull up to the lights and shut down the Morris. Yiud hear the air starter spin up the 427 after he reeled the tonneau off the injector flutes through the roof.

@@dave1135 The only time I see carb'd G54b's anymore is with weber 32/36 conversions. Hell, my PowerRam 50's got one too before I bought it. I wouldn't say it's more efficient in terms of economy, but the fact you can eliminate all the emissions stuff and cut out 90% of the vacuum lines, it's a worthwhile mod just for longevities sake.

As a kid coming of driving age in the 80s I had the misfortune of driving a couple. My father, a mopar guy who had to give up all his cool mopars due to the financial constraints of having a family, did his part to support Mopar buying an Omni and at least 3 K-cars during that period. Primarily because they lasted about 2-3 years here in upstate NY and then they turned to rusted cow manure (physically and mechanically). I have still to recover from the trauma of having driven them...
