Dustbox 5 of 12: 1993 Plymouth Sundance Duster
This next car is number 5 of 12 in a special feature we are doing inspired by a vintage Car and Driver article that covered cars offered for new in 1992 for less than $10k and had air conditioning, a rear defroster, and an AM/FM radio. These economy cars compact economy cars were ranked by a random group of college kids and this is number 5. How did a Plymouth Sundancer beat a Ford Escort or Mazda 323 at anything? Seriously. Who made these rankings. Find this 1993 Plymouth Sundance Duster offered for $3,988 in Norman, OK via autotrader.com.
The Sundance was part of the Chrysler P-platform, which was a derivative of the K-platform that combined the Dodge Daytona’s suspension with the Dodge Lancer body. Other notable P-cars include the Chrysler Shadow and the Shelby CSX. It was garbage all of it. Even the Shelby version.

“ Well, all right then!
Well it makes more sense on a Romanian 4×4, and apparently they are really into the dirty car thing.

Most importantly, no mention of the Ford embossed steering wheel!
That may have been my mistake with the photos. Lemme check.
Whoops. Fixed the pic. And the link. Funny how nobody clicked the link and mentioned that it wasn’t functioning. I guess that is how desirable this thing is.
