Hello,
I'm Mike (and use the alias Spats online). And here's my little story:
When I was 2, my grandfather bought a 1984 Dodge 600 brand new. I had always loved that car. I remember even when I was only 2, he'd let me sit in his lap and steer it into the garage. We went on a lot of trips in that car. I would always sit in the front in the middle.
The one thing I always loved about it was the front grille and bumper on it. How it looked. And the fake louvers on the side. It was a dark blue inside and out. Now, come 1994, my grandfather actually gave me the car!! I was only 12 at the time. And I did get to drive it twice on a back road near my house. To me, that was the best thing ever. There was just something about it I truly loved.
Now, come 1995, before we sold our other house, we sold that car. You don't realize how badly I was upset over it. That car meant so much to me. After that, it was the last time I had seen the car.
In the past two years, I have been on a search for that car, in hopes I'll someday own one like it again. I've already come across two 600s near me, but they were the convertible versions. I'm truly set on having the 600 Sedan. Though that car seems very hard to find.
Another thing is, after seeing one, an E body Chrysler New Yorker from 1986 or so is so much like the 600. I wouldn't mind having that either.
But so the search begins for a Dodge 600.....
I even made a quick video of some 600s using pics I had found on the internet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7Oj4R7yV1s
And to note, growing up, my parents had a 1986 Lancer ES Turbo and a 1988 Shelby Daytona. Those were pretty sweet. I was looking at the photo gallery and admiring all the cars on there. And I think this is where my love of not just the 600 comes in, but every K car and its derivative.
