Comments: Hey! I looked at this site yesterday, I thought it was really cool. Speaking of Diplomats, I own 2 of 'em. They're both ex-cop cars bought from a buddy I went to school with. My 1984 is my daily driver, it has about115,000 on the clock and spotlights, lightbar, and red wig-wags(I probably shouldn't have) My other Diplomat is a 1987, my buddy took it apart,& re-did it. Now I'm putting it back together. I'm a hardcore Mopar fan.I also own an '86 Ram, and a '71 Charger,it's yellow with a white top & sunroof.Under the hood lies the original 383 Magnum.

Comments: Hi. 

I was looking at your "imposters" area, and as a Fairmont nut, noticed a couple of details that weren't quite dead-on.

First, the Fairmont and the Mustang do share the "Fox" platform, but the Fairmont was designed and produced first. So, the Mustang is based on the Fairmont, not the other way around.

Second, all base Fairmonts before 1982 had the two-headlight system. Only Fairmont Futuras (with the "sleeker" 2-door bodystyle) had the four-headlight front end. After 1982, all Fairmonts were Futuras and all got the 4-headlight system.

I would be Glad to send it again for you to add to your gallery if you would like. I'm thrilled that someone loves their Diplomat as much as I love mine.

Comments: I am a Diplomat fan, and decided to see if I could find any info on the 'net about them. So, I was glad when I found your page, but even more surprised when I saw your invite for people to trust Christ. This must be great exposure with all the people you probably have surfing your site. Most people probably don't even consider their eternal destiny, but if one soul is saved because of your invitation on the site, it's worth all the time and effort put into the site design!! May God continue to bless.

Regards,

Comments: Hello. I am the friend who will be accompanying Sue on our visit to Minnesota (she is the former Infiniti owner-turned-Diplomat fan that wrote to you). She informed me that you wrote back to her and are very close to Duluth. As you correctly observed in your e-mail to her, she is clearly the most enthusiastic M-body fan I have ever known. She recently purchased my 5th Avenue and is determined to get a Diplomat (which she lovingly refers to as the "Dippy") and a Gran Fury. I am writing to let you know that we will not be flying directly into Duluth (cheaper to fly to Minneapolis). But we will be renting a car (Chrysler, of course) and driving to the Iron Range. I grew up in Mountain Iron and will be visiting my parents. All of this is to say that Sue and I would love to meet Farley on perhaps either Friday, August 20th or Saturday, August 21st. At this point, I am attempting to convince my mother to come with us but, understandably, she doesn't quite understand the concept of meeting a 1979 Dodge. Are either of those days good for you? Let me know. Your website is fantastic. I appreciate also your message inviting people to faith in Christ.

Comments: I love the Dippy!!! It is my favorite car. I just bought a 5th Avenue and now I'm looking for a Dippy. My friend and I are planning to come to MINNESOTA in August (he is from the Iron Range area) so we'll be flying into Duluth. I would absolutely LOVE a ride in your Dippy!!! I love the Dippy. I also like the Gran Fury and Dodge Monaco. I love your website. Farley looks like a wonderful Dippy (of course, what Dippy isn't wonderful). I don't know what it is but I used to own an Infiniti and I was driving down the road one day and I saw a Dippy and I was like "Oh my God! I love that car." Since then, I have been a Dippy FANATIC. I absolutely love the car. I have been looking for a Dippy for a while now. They are not easy to find! The peeling vinyl roofs don't bother me -- in fact, they just add character to the Dippy. I'll tell you, those 318 engines will last forever. I love my 5th Ave. Now I'm trying to find a Dippy and a Gran Fury. I love the power of the V8 318 engine. Oh, and the rug in those cars!!! So soft....Well, anyway, PLEASE e-mail me back because I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO HAVE A RIDE IN FARLEY WHEN I COME TO DULUTH! I've never been to Minnesota and there would be no better welcome than seeing a Dippy to greet me. E-mail me back as soon as possible. DIPPY! DIPPY! DIPPY!

Comments: i think your site is really cool. as a matter of fact i have a 87 diplomat. which was used as a undercover police car. even with 165,000 miles on the original 318 big block. it can still reach speeds of 145+. and this is only a stock engine!! i plan to add some more toys to this thing. so far in races i've beaten a 80's camaro z28, a 5.0 80's stang, and another ex-police car. which was a super fast thunderbird. here in my hometown the highway parol has a 1999 superfast camaro. WOW!!

Comments: I don't have a webpage of my own but I admire this one! It is the first thing I've come accross that helps explain the love that I have for Louise(my '84 Dodge Diplomat police pkg). My people never understood why I love her so much! She needs a lot of work but it looks like this page can even help us with that! I have many dreams for her, but her dream is to meet Farly I think!

Comments: Really enjoyed the tour. I was looking for a hubcap for
our 1986 Diplomat when I stopped in.

We bought her after our cadillac was stolen. She really can hump it when you push the pedal down. She always has seemed a little goosey on the highway, almost as if her engine is too big for her frame. She's been a great car, thogh... and very reliable.

Comments: Hello, I just wanted to say that I am glad to see someone who shares such an interest in the Dodge Diplomat. I am a college student at Millikin University in Decatur, IL. I have had my Diplomat for three years now. I have done a fabulous job making it look good, if I do say so myself. I do not have a homepage about my Diplomat yet, but I would like to e-mail you a picture of mine to include on your homepage. Let me know if this is possible.

Your fellow Diplomat owner,
Reggie

Comments: This is the best surprise a weird car freak like me could ask for! I am an ex-owner of an '87 cop Dip w/360 swap-alas, it was wrecked in '96. Currently own '93 Dynasty-great car! I will rejoin you crazy Diplomat owners in the future-want to build a 5th Ave. w/cop drivetrain, rear end, & suspension (360 swap, of course!). Looked at old messages-those Chevy guys never seem to be able to spell, punctuate, or have a coherent thought beyond whether to live in a single or double-wide trailer. Ask me how it feels to have sunk $4000 into a $400 car, resurrected it from the dead, only to have it all taken away by a speeding Taurus in the rain. C'mon, ask!

Comments: Hey, I like your page, feels like a meeting of like minds, the few in the crowd.. Although, Lou is no longer with me I think of him always.. If your thinking of selling you Diplomat to get something "more now", "better on fuel", or whatever.. Think really hard about how much that Diplomat costs you in maintenance, It will outweigh the savings I'm sure of it.. I'll own another some day soon.. If I can find one, I'll make it a 340W and see if I can't break the 12 s mark.. 

BTW: I know that it's a pretty well known thing that the 318 motor is suseptable to carbon deposits between the Intake manifold and the cylinder head air passages. Cleaning the intake passages and the cylinder ports of carbon is an easy way to improve both performance and fuel economy.. purchase an Intake manifold gasket Kit and some High temp silicone. These are the only costs, around $20.00 cdn. You can hear when they're not breathing right. Just a thought, the 318, with my experience is prone to this about every 2 years with constant driving. and no a good run doesn't burn the carbon out, wishfull thinking.. Try it if you haven't already.. Really improves performance.. (due to the Dodge fuel/air/temp mixture..)

Comments: Surfed in via the CopCar webring.

I'm an AMC fan first and foremost with a secondary
passion for Mopars.

I'm also a former owner of a Ford Fairmont ex-Police 
Car used by the Lancaster, PA police (I have pictures of it here someplace!). I'd have to say I don't see where your suggestion comes from saying the Fairmont was directly aimed to compete with the Dip's...other than the simplistic squared-off shape and sorta-similar grilles, they're two are very different cars.
The Dip was far more heavy and upscale. The LTD of the 
late 70s is a fairer comparison, despite being even larger, and both were targeted for the same buyer. A Fairmont actually compares better to the Aspen/Volare and Malibu.
Anyway, my Fairmont was indeed a V8/Auto, and was a very good car (for a Ford). It originally had the two-lamp grille, but I swapped it for the 4-lamp setup to better look like a police car. If you want a scan of this car, I'll go dig the pics up. LMK :)
