This is what basic transportation looked like in , and Chrysler sold a ton of them over , of the Aries and Reliant in , but how many are left? Barn Finds reader Rocco B. It has been converted to ra, but it is currently blowing hot air. Under the hood is the Chrysler 2. The Mitsubishi 2. With just under horsepower, the 2. The Reliant has power steering and brakes, so it should drive like a modern-ish car, perfect for a salt-free commute. If nothing else, you can buy it, fix the air conditioning, and have something a little out of the ordinary to drive around.
It never ceases to amaze how you folks find cars like this. A base model K car in incredible condition. A K CAR!!!! He bought them all as used cars at auctions patched them up and used them. They were reliable and held up well to the customers treating them, and driving them…… Well…… Like a rental car.
This is a clean one, Id fix the AC and just drive it. Ah, the in famous K-Car. He then convinced US fleet services to buy his cars then paid off the loan some years early, shortening the interest on the loan.
Which means they reverted to their familiar automotive purchase mindset: basic and cheap. So they had two K-cars, a bought new and, a decade later, a bought from a friend which had only 21k miles. Both did what they were supposed to do: provided basic transportation. It shared this with the Dodge and Chrysler. I could easily but 3 or 4 at a single auction and sell them as fast as I could get them retail ready. Customers loved them, and I made money.
This seems priced about right. My family had several of them. They were cheap and reliable. I drove one after high-school Plymouth. It was a hand me down car. No cup holder either. It was very basic.
