Junkyard Find: 1985 Dodge 600 Turbo

19 - 1985 Dodge 400 Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee MartinOnce Chrysler's K platform proved successful, the E (for "extended") version of the K soon followed. First was the 400, which was then upgraded to the 600 for the 1983 model year. You don't see many 600s these days, though you might see the occasional Hongqi CA750F version on the streets of Beijing. Here's a once-luxurious brown 600 I spotted in a Denver wrecking yard.

Even by the standards of early Post-Malaise Era America, it's hard to imagine that the Dodge 600 convertible was the object of many yearning dreams.


Cheaper than a Buick!
