For Sale SALE/TRADE 1980 Dodge Diplomat - $2400 (East Liverpool)

[shooter65]

NOT MINE!

I've taken a job that will require me to drive into Pittsburgh daily so I've been looking for a dependable vehicle for daily year long commute and came across this beauty. IMO It's far too nice for me to use as a daily driver.

It doesn't say why the hood is flat black but it doesn't look like collision damage. My biggest concern would be an engine fire but he doesn't mention why.



SALE/TRADE 1980 Dodge Diplomat

1980 Dodge Diplomat two door. Slant six automatic. Very clean for its age. 89,000 miles. It is my daily driver, so if you have something to trade, I'd rather go that route but I will accept cash if I find something else to buy. Many new parts. Needs brakes bled, fuel gauge fixed. Other than that, it's a very reliable car. As far as trades go, I am into older vehicles. I could use a truck but I'm open to most anything. Must be reliable enough to drive 60 miles every day for work. Call or text at 33zero 3eight3 fourtwo3four

Put on a good load of wax underneath, renew from time to time, maybe include the closed Frame/quarter etc. sections too and drive it with a bit more than average TLC. I've been doing this for decades with our old cars and I still have to completely use up the first one.

Also in off-road to prevent sun glare from hood when cresting a hill. Mostly during sun, lol.

This is my car. The hood was painted flat black when I bought it. No signs of engine fire though. The lower portions of the doors are also black. I may decide to keep it but I am still open to trades and cash offers. I have since done more work to it, mechanically

I know this thread is nearly 3/4 of a year old, but you wouldn't still happen to have this Diplomat, would you? Been looking for a 2 door for a while.

 

[Russell Sullivan]

I still have it. Currently it is undergoing an engine transplant. The slant six is out, 360 going in. I am keeping it after all.

Good call. It is a great looking automobile.

Thank you. It does need the frame patched up in one spot but other than that it is solid.
