driver for a couple of months in 1985. The ride was decent, handling appalling but it was quite charming its own, cheap beater sort of way. It was fun enough, but by the time I had gotten my hands on it it had been badly abused. I took my driver’s test in that car in the summer of 1990, July 12 to be exact-passed the first time, too! My mother wrote an angry letter to Lee Iacocca. I think it had the 2.2 Chrysler engine. It seemed as though quality and fit and finish were very dependent on which plant they were assembled in; we had two as company cars, and the wagon (I remember they were built in different plants, but I can’t remember which was which) was just an all around better car than the sedan. Maybe more.I have seen exactly one pre-facelift K car in the last 12 or so years. This one is listed on eBay with a buy it now price of $5,500! They later bought a dark gray 1983 Reliant 4 door sedan from my aunt. Mind you, it was a 1990 Chrysler Dynasty (Canada-only) with about 136 (000 km) on the clock and an immaculate paint job. All of the parts were like that.My family had a k car wagon (red aries) for about 7 years, I don’t think they ever did much to it other then brakes as I recall, My sister did it in by rolling into a ditch as a teenager. I was an undergrad at the time and worked in parts and service and although it was a long time ago, I have no recollection of head gasket issues with the 2.2 (that was the Mitsu 2.6’s curse). Not really. It was nowhere near as nice as her old 87 Escort GL that she pawned off to my father, but it was the iconic family car of my youth. GM knew what was good for you. We can’t all drive high-performance luxury cars, SUVs, or trucks, nor do we all want to. Starts with Q and that’s waaaaay farther down the alphabet than K.Part way through the year, I dumped it for a Chevy Citation. Yes. Yes, we’ve already covered the The basic boxy outline of the story is well etched into the memories of us that lived through the K-era. With continental kits.This car looks like the front fender has been replaced, since its paint doesn’t match. Compare an ’81 to a somewhat later model and you’ll see what I mean-fixed large main glass with little vent windows on early ones, and on later ones smaller roll down main glass with larger fixed panes where vent windows used to be, as on this example.Nice article, but again, “but where’s the A/C compressor belt”?By the time the K-car evolved into the Spirit/Acclaim, it was a darn fine commuter car: roomy, comfortable, cheap to buy and run. actual production numbers are not known.

The front struts are next. It justYes Chuck, I can feel the sarcasm.
It began with the virtually identical Omni/Horizon twins, but it was cemented with the Reliant/Aries. And nice shot of the XJ in the background of that last picture.I had a new K car in 1988 as a company vehicle. I remember the front rotors and shoes were out the door less than $30. The transmission failed twice in 90K miles, along with a bunch of other mechanical items, but he electtoncis and interior held up great.

Basic as basic got, but it did have some style with the wrap-around side molding outlined in “chrome” with a nice chrome grill and headlight surrounds. Sure, the Accords, Coronas, Cressidas, Camrys, Maximas and Stanzas might have been less troublesome, but they were also a whole lot more expensive (because of the Voluntary Import Quotas???) I think only Goodyear had it, and the price was sky-high. We even kept a fleet of them as loaners for the Jaguar customers.They were excellent appliances, dependable and cheap to repair. Sales of the company's larger cars started dropping after the Although the K-platform had been designed during 1978, the failing company could not afford by this point to put them into production. 2 years.
