Back in a K

Been into FWD Mopars almost 20 years, mostly L bodies. Just bought a 600ES Turbo ragtop. :mrgreen:

How many miles does it have and how much did you pay for it? I'm currently trying to sell my '84 with 21,000 original miles on it, it's identical to yours in model and trim level, and if this one is in as immaculate condition as it looks it is about the same as mine in that regard too. I orginally was asking $4900 but I'm now willing to accept anything in the low-mid 3000s as that's about the same price I paid for the car I ended up replacing it with. Just eager to get it out of the driveway to free up space, and I'm really wondering what an acceptable price would be in order for this to happen. I've tried both eBay and craigslist, but so far I've gotten very little interest in it, seems like no one around here really wants a 600 ES Convertible, no matter how nice it is :cry:

Ouch, 138k is a lot for an early Turbo. That's why it was such a good price! Looks to be in really great shape though, from the photo. Good luck with it, and be careful and make sure to wacth the temp guage!
