In California, the Chrysler section for 80s cars in pick-a-part for 2011 is only about 20 vehicles now a month getting clunked. At some lots, no
Ks come in at all, or as many as 4. It varies quite a bit now. The shock is that TONS of M bodies are still showing up every month at pick-a-part. I am
now not seeing them on the road as much anymore. Yet, they are still way more of them left compared to Ks both on craigslist and in the yards. I wonder if there
are just a lot more getting clunked than the Ks cause maybe 150,000 or more survive versus my estimate of 60,000 Ks left out of 3,000,000 Ks made. They only made
about 1,300,000 Ms for all lines, and the Fifth was about 600,000. The M also looks harder to work on then a K, yet Ks give us wonderfuel fuel and electrical
issues. The M has way more vacuum lines, large air filter, etc. Many claim the M is more reliable than the K as its a V6 or V8 and better built. Does the M have
a computer OBD1? The M is also known for getting over 20 mpg on the highway, but always poor, 12-15mpg in town. Also, nearly all the Fifths I find are WHITE. I did
see a nice 82 New Yorker -Fifth the other day.
