1985-2000
This kid in Fairbury, Nebraska bought my 85 Dip
for $2000. A month ago, he put 5000 miles on it he said all he could get out
of her was 110mph, made the rod knock, rebuilt the tranny, sold the wheels off
it. He drives some rusted down 87 Dip cop car he bought for $100 down here to
Grand Island, Nebraska just to tell me that and he junked the car I sold him.
just thought I'd let you know my M-body was clean; no dents, no bondo,
everything was great. I got my money for it but I'd thought I'd let you
know. I think he is lying but God knows.

1979-1999
Mike Taylor writes: For our area (Nepean, Ontario) this 1979
Plymouth Caravelle had a relatively long life. It belonged to friends of
ours from 1989 until I bought it in April '99 for parts when the frame
rotted out. Today the car is gone, although quite a bit of its
remains will live on. The rims are now on my '84 5th Ave, the 360 in the
'88, and all the other parts that can be used in a Fifth Avenue are in
storage for future use.

This 1985 Diplomat was at least the second "M" body to go
out in a blaze of glory with Professor Darling at the helm. Many more images
of this car, named "U.S.S. Voyager", can be seen by following the link below.
Also, see a "before" picture on Diplomats
16.

This 1979 LeBaron survived its first demo derby, but died gloriously in battle
during an encore appearance one year later, as shown in this image. Many more images
of this car, named "U.S.S. Defiance", can be seen by following the link below.

A 1985 Chrysler Fifth Avenue was destroyed when a 1987 Mercury Grand Marquis lost
control, became airborne, and landed on it. There were several serious, but non-life
threatening injuries.

1986-1997
Eric Roy writes: The info on this car
is (was) it was a 1986 Diplomat, wrecked on October 28th, 1997, the impact crunched in the side passenger
front fender and door, cracked the panel under the dash on the passenger
side, and broke the front axle. I was sideswiped by a 1990 Nissan
Pathfinder. I gave the car away to a friend who informed me that he fixed
it up (grill, hood, door, fender, axle and all) with a 1987 5th Ave front
end that he picked up at a junkyard for $450. I could have hit him for
telling me that. I would have fixed the car myself. I still see it around
town, it must have over 300,000 km's on it by now because it had 287,000
on it at the time of the accident in October of '97.

William Moore writes: Here is a picture of my old Dodge Diplomat (an 87, I
believe). I wrecked it a few years ago. I ran into a van that disregarded a stop
sign.

1979 Dodge Diplomat. E-58 360, 727A, factory tranny cooler, factory power
steering cooler. She passed on in 1995 at the hands of a felonious GM product. She will be
sadly missed by her long time lover Greg Haza of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Organs will be
donated to a worthy recipient.

Chris DiNunzio writes in regarding these
photos I received from Ryo Death, concerning a car they found in a kind of
automotive graveyard:
My dad and myself were up in that car graveyard recently.
He was telling me about this and that. When I saw that maroon station wagon,
I didn't think much of it till I saw the Diplomat logo on the side of it. I thought it was so neat.
We finally got the hood open... no radiator :( or battery someone stripped this car good before it came to a rest.
One of these days soon we'll haul a battery up there and hot wire her. And see if
I can at least get the dome light to light up.. If I can turn over that huge
Chrysler v8 but the crankshaft is most likely rusted in there good and solid and the
carburetor is probably so oxidized that it will never turn over but I'll try.
Its a shame that someone smashed all the windows except for the passenger side ones or it might have been worth
restoring, but the brake calipers are rusted solid and... wow that would cost so much just to get that car
moving again but someday if I get the cash to do it believe me I will, and
I'll be sure to send you before and after pictures... me driving an old maroon
wood grain station wagon... yeah! I honestly don't know why you would want to hear any of this but oh well.
It gives me something to do plus in just repairing Ryan's 88' Diplomat I've
learned so much about cars, up till now I've been somewhat of a computer nerd but my gifts also expand in to almost anything mechanical God has
truly blessed me with this ability to learn of cars and computers, it is so rarely that you find many self proclaiming
Christians on the internet. Until I get my license and a car (Diplomat?) of my own
I am quite content working on Ryan's.

Kevin found this police Diplomat in a
junkyard in Canada. |

It is hoped that this
Diplomat was not totaled out, but whoever took out the driver's door out
on this Miami FL squad was not pulling any punches. |
