I had noticed you guys weren't posting recently, and I was wondering what had happened. I didn't find out until today. Richard, I am glad you are feeling better, and I'm glad you are ok. Listen to your doctors. I know it is hard to be laid up when you are accustomed to being active, but don't try to do too much too fast. I broke my neck in a car accident, and I was told I would not be able to do anything for six months. I pushed myself and got back to my normal life in half that time, but I am paying for it today. Take care of yourself. We will be here. I wish you the best.

I had a real hard time watching this video because i completely love these older Chrysler Fifth Avenues and to see this car with only 39,000 original miles left in this state to rot is just pathetic. I can guarantee you that this car has that mileage as the leather wrapped steering wheel was in mint condition which is always worn out on higher mileage cars. This was Chrysler's top of the line car back in 1985 and was optioned with the rich Corthian Leather. So glad to see this car being saved from that site. Thank you.

I feel like that car is screaming “I’m a good runner get me off the ground and let’s Go!!!” I’m strange I know. 😂😊

The only Chrysler I drove was a 1984 Chrysler Executive Limousine (mini stretched). I was a chauffer and drove Dow Chemical executives from an executive air terminal to their homes or meetings & back. It had a stereo, TV, VHS, bar, sun roof, mobile phone, separate A/C, leather interior & privacy window. Up front was ultimate luxury and even included a mobile phone with intercom. Only 1,698 were built.

It was my favorite even though I got to drive a Seville, a custom 15 passenger GMC van, 2 54" stretched Cadillac Coupe De Ville limos, a 73" stretched De Ville limo, a Lincoln Town Car, & an Aerostar. All vehicles were 1984 (new). My day job was to drive for Sears, and I drove my built Mustang & Sears paid for all my gas, oil changes & tires. All I ever wore were 3-peice suits. Two great jobs total per year was $96,000.00 + tips, + free concert tickets when I took band roadies to their hotels from the airport.

Typically if the mileage numbers are offset, it is a good indicator that it has rolled over. These were all but used up as donor cars for disc brake conversions for the older Mopar's. The 318's in these cars are becoming desirable due to their strong cast cranks, and larger mains. converted off the lean burn, these engines perform quite well. I'd like to see more of these on will it run, there are still quite a few left on the road. These M bodies were produced from 1978 to 1989. They had the horizontal torsion bars. The lean burn system advanced in accordance to temperature, and the vacuum advance located on the lean burn computer. Great video!!!

The lean burn system for the 318 is not that bad, they can last a long time and be reliable. It's NOT like the older big block and 4 barrel systems that had problems. Everyone just jumps to conclusions as if all lean burn systems are bad, and that's Not the case! They are so easy to bypass anyways

Yes the mid 80's computer control with the electronic ignition system is way better than the mid 70's lean burn junk, and the computer control carb vehicles usually have a automatic or electric solenoid equipment operated choke on the carburetor,, until mid 86 when it was upgraded to the tbi fuel injection electronic ignition system thru 88

I had customers with these and they had problems. I had one actually blow the muffler off the car. Many just traded them for concurrent Caprice/Impala. Of course, they weren't as bad as the Imperial's "fuel injection." I had a customer with one of those and we didn't touch the engine. They ended up taking it to the dealer and they converted it to a carburetor like the other J-bodies. That computer was right over the exhaust manifold and attached to air cleaner, shake and bake. I am wanting to say on the Police cars the computer was located inside the passenger compartment. Now, why couldn't they have done that with the civilian cars?

I was given an '88 Gran Fury cop car (AHB) back in June. It was donated to an LEO museum along with a '74 Gran Fury (A38) car, but this was the 3rd F/M car and was not a state, county or city vehicle that is their focus, and I had made them a deal on an '85 GF that was an arson car (mint)- so, I got the car. It had sat next to one of the warehouses for years, hadn't probably run for years before it arrived. Spent about 3 hours just changing plugs, putting lube in the cylinders, filters changed (sans oil for the moment), checked the fluids, popped a new battery in, and put in 5 gallons of fresh fuel with a full bottle of Redline Fuel system treatment. Filled the carb via the vents, poured some gas down the throat...then started hitting the ignition. Within a few cranks, it sputtered to life & ran. Poorly. Rough, smoking out the tailpipe pretty fierce. Kept on it, got it up to temp. Shut it off, let it heat soak. Fired it up about 10 minutes later. Then hit the carb with 2 cans of the nastiest carb cleaner I know of. Better. Then I changed the oil, Wix 51515 filter, and a can of Restore (V8 flavor). Ran it more, it really had smoothed out. Took it over to a nearby farm field & pasture (know the rancher) and ran it up & down. Throw the lean-burn and all that out. Also, a Walker 40430 Y-pipe eliminates the two upper catalytic converters, bigger pipe, and a 3" Catco main cat...these 318's are much more lively and get better mileage. Also, the handling? If not ordered "Iso-clamp" delete, you get the rubber-mounted cradle and rear suspension- trash, utter garbage and handles like on jello

@gary not true about the spring mount rust problem! This car is a M body and NOT the B body that your thinking about with the weaker spring mount. These F J and M body cars had a heavy duty spring mount that bolted directly to a Very strong part of the frame. I know, because I changed a bunch of the complete rear and leaf spring setups from squad cars to other diplomats or aspens or even the J body Cordoba just by unbolting everything. You could not do that with older B body cars.

Some of the 5th Avenue had a factory 4 barrel carburetor and I have been looking for one of those engines for years! A friend had one he bought new and put over 2 hundred thousand on with no major repairs. I went on a 400 mile trip with him and could not believe it made 23mpg!

You must be thinking of a earlier California model with there tighter emissions they would have a 4 barrel to help with power. Or someone converted that 318 to more of a high performance with a intake and carb change. Because otherwise the m body 5th Ave never came with a 4 barrel 318.

My friend owned one of those Chrysler Fifth Avenue and he traded it in at Magic City Motors for a 2 door black Ford LTD Crown Victoria. If it is his it was originally bought in Gulfport,Mississippi.

A fresh AC compressor with Ester oil, new drier and it will probably be fixed for good. You just undercharg an old R12 system to 80% capacity with 134a and make sure the clutch fan is tight and pressures should be good.
