My second car

Joining the Toyotas is a 1989 Plymouth Reliant LE!

2.2L engine.

Nice. My great grandfather put almost 500k worth of cross country driving on his old Reliant.

Holy K-car!

and you're in Canada...I would have thought all those would be rust buckets by now...

Haha! I thought so too. This one's looking pretty good; I will be happy of I get 6 months out of it. It's got 82,000 miles.

Oh, also, if you kill the engine, a 440HP engine from a Chrylser Cordoba is nearly a drop-in engine with fender well exit headers. Reliants and LeBarons were good swaps for drag cars.

 

[Carl_G]

Are you serious? That is great!

 

[undergroundatx]

Yeah man. Back in the mid 90s, I had an 81 LeBaron that received a 440. That car was a beast. We called it 'The Baron'.

It would take some serious fabrication to drop a V8 rwd drivetrain into the OP's K-car.

My Dad had an early '90's Dodge Dynasty. It was a cheap car, but surprisingly reliable.

29 MPG. hand calculated. I may use this as the daily driver and save some wear and tear on the T4R

I like the redundant labeling on the gauges and the reminder you're driving a front wheel drive. My buddy had something similar in high school. I had more laughs toolin around in that car than anything else I've owned.

That I true. We are wondering if that front wheel drive indicator lights up.

And the redundant labeling that's hilarious I never noticed that!

It has turned out to be quite a car for $800.
