B Jake Moran Posted May 23, 2023 Author Share Posted May 23, 2023 As with some, not a lot of good photos to make a decision but at $2,000 or best offer, I am not sure you can go wrong. I did reach out to him and he said it runs fine, really does have 60,000 original miles and I followed that up by asking if it had bucket seats and console. 318 is a good motor that a guy can put a few performance mods to and keep it stock appearing. This was Mopars last swing at rear wheel drive full sizers on the same platform as the Imperial. Personally I like the Mirada and would/could own one especially if it was bucket seat console equipped with the sport steering wheel. I love those aluminum wheels, and it appears he has 4. This would also be a great starter car for a younger guy to get into the AACA. We can't all afford $40,000 cars. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my cup of tea, but I do agree that this would make a nice entry level car into the hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthcranbrook Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 As the proud(or maybe just odd) owner of a 1980 Plymouth Volare I can certainly see the attraction of this. A young person of limited means who grew up with these could do quite well with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexRiv_63 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I always liked the looks of these cars, at that price you can't go wrong. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Kind of reminds me of a Ford Fairmont and that's the spoiler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivguy Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I love both of those cars! My Uncle is a Mopar guy and he had the Magnum coupe that preceded this model. I would love this Mirada, look like a fun car. As a Ford guy I'd go for the Fairmont, especially if it had a 302. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jframe Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Always liked these. Would like it better with a crate 360 cu. in. motor and Lean Burn system removed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Luddy Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Having a good look underneath is a must! These had little to no rust protection from the factory and are known to have rusty frame rails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting how the designers who are supposed to be creative all get on the same band wagon. We've just on through a period where almost every car has a gill like vent or intake low on each side of the grill. Here's this year (on top) vs. last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
