I have an 87 Chrysler 5th ave as my DD same deal got it out of the inpound after the car was stolen for the wheels, my buddy couldnt afford the 600$. All that is wrong with it is the door lock on the passenger side where they poped it. just over 130k and its like riding on a leater button top sofa.



love that car
