The K cars were great cars for the money...I had a few, all with sticks.All were wagons. My favorite was the Woody!
30mpg and would go anywhere anytime.
I was caught in a hail storm in South Dakota in one, baseball sized hail!
$2200 damage. I was watching Storm Chasers last night and the Tahoe did not fair as well.

I was in my local grocery store last night and noticed that a magazine called “RIDES” had the green SEMA Challenger convertible on the cover and a six page story on the car, with lots of pictures. So for those who missed the SEMA Show, here’s a chance to see more of it……

Challenger Convertible is available by www.coachbuildersltd.com

These are the folks that did the sema show car for chrysler and have the
go ahead for production, conversions....base price is 18k. All structural
underpinnings are engineered and chrysler approved.

It wasnt the Kcar that saved Chrysler it was the Caravan that really saved them......the Kcar wasnt enough, the 1984 minivan revoluntionized the market and saved Chrysler.

But the Minivan brings you back to the K-car. Lee offered it to Ford, they said no. So off to Chrysler and the basis for the 1 gen minivan and the new life of the....K-car. Sad but true!

I have no idea why articles even bring up Challenger convertibles.
It has been a dead horse from the beginning. Chrysler has never said it
it would ever do one. For what ever reason people keep bringing it back up. Just wishful thinking. We are just fortunate if the Challenger sticks around for a another year.

You have to figure there will be a 2010 Challenger. Otherwise, what will Dodge have to sell? Fiat isn't going to be able to take control fast enough for the American-designed Dodges to disappear. There very well could even be a 2011 model. After that, though, I have visions of little square econoboxes pouring out of the Brampton plant.
