k-car 600

[huffzz]

I just swapped out the front end of my K-car with a dodge 600 front clip and I think it looks sharp, even the wheels suit the car really well. Tell me what you think, and sorry for the fuzzy picture.





The only thing that bothers me is that the car was in a bit of a fender bender so the new pieces don't quite line up but in time I can fix it but for now it'll get me back on the road.........

This is exactly what Chrysler did to the Mexican K-Cars for sale in the Central and South American markets. They interchanged front and rear ends, and even engines, and gave them different names. So what you've done is something that Chrysler actually did when the the K-Cars were being made in Taluca, Mexico. "Great job!"

Peace,

I don't like those type of wheels, but the body looks great! (sure thats not a Plymouth Caravelle front end though?)

nope came of a 600 at the wreckers. I never new they did that in Mexico well to me it looks kewl.

that is a plymouth caraville grill, the dodge 600's had a cross pattern on theirs, so the car you got the front clip from was either in a wreck or the grill broke and he decided that this one was close enough.


I know these K-cars backwards and fowards, every little detail right down to the chassis

Yep 88 aries and mopar dan are right. Here's proof to their words:

I never said I was right never new they made the caravelles that year. Maybe I should double check the back of the car. I like K-cars but I don't claim to know everything under the sun about them.

that caraville that with the white door, was my buddies old car back when i first was starting to collect k-cars. carl owned many K-cars in fact my favorite one was a 1985 dodge aries base coupe with no radio and a 4 speed and a 1981 white aries with a 4 speed the 81 got burned in a fire.
