Were you possessed by demons that made you buy that turd on wheels!? Did a woman coerce you to buy a chick car?! :doh:

It was one of my ex fiancés. You live and you learn.

My first car was a "whale" '82 Buick Riviera...

Meh. You wanna' talk big cars? I give you the 1975 Dodge Royal Monaco, all three tons of it:

Ours had a sunroof, but was otherwise identical to the one in the photo. Worst car I've ever owned, but it wasn't entirely Dodge's fault. The previous owner's son had disabled or removed all of the smog equipment on the big 440 cu V8 engine, and it had to be restored in order for us to register the car. Our mechanic recommended a good shop to do the repairs, but the guy who did the work told me he'd found three different diagrams for that particular engine, none of which worked particularly well. It eventually passed the smog test, but afterwards could barely get up to freeway speeds. Then the rear differential gave up the ghost while I was taking a friend to the airport. It started on the freeway as a high-pitched whine that got louder and louder before it started smoking like a three-story structure fire, but it made it to the airport and made the 32 mile return trip. Apparently, the differential was a common problem with this model because it took our mechanic nine months to repair it; no new parts were available, so he had to piece one together out of junkyard finds that were in worse condition than ours. lol Oh, and the sunroof leaked like a sieve.

Zombie, that's a case of "remove 440 and 727 attached to said engine....replace remainder."

Exactly! My father in law had one of those well into the 90s and the damned thing ran great---original. Looked bad but ran great. And no I did not buy it from him. It was donated.

GM stopped making big cars after '76 and they didn't get near that size until the '90s with the B and D bodies becoming boats once again.

An 82 isn't that big. :rofl:

You wouldn't have wanted it. It was not in the greatest condition.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

So? Good winter car.

Big, slow and ugly doesn’t work for me. I am not that hot on Chrysler products anyway.

One of? How many are there?

 

[AtomicEraTom]

I like MoPars, I LOVE hideaway lights, and you don't wanna go fast in the snow, anyhow. On almost any given day, I never go faster than 35.

Ugly too.

I saw one of these at the grocery store a few months ago, and for some strange reason the owner kept it in mint condition.
There's was more square, but there is no mistaking that color scheme.
When I get settled from my trip , I'll download it from my phone.
Wherever that is....

 

[Gregg Axley]

Oh no, does this involve a Rolodex?

Sorry I couldn't meet up Hudson, but my trip was cut short due to the impending ice storm about to hit my city.
I'd rather be in my house, than several states away trying to get to it.

 

[Formeruser012523]

So, you didn't want to deal with the hilarity that is Texas under ice? lol
