President’s Weekend: 1979 Dodge Diplomat
President’s Day Holiday is this upcoming Monday, so a few lucky folks get a three day weekend…and around here we are going to bring you a collection of executive class cars, but first we’ve got an oddball. Find this 1979 Dodge Diplomat offered for $3,500 in Ft Myers, FL via craigslist. Tip from Dascpcu.
I’m having a hard time being diplomatic when I say this…but…this car is kind of a pile of junk. YES, it is a 65k mile example with a gorgeous red interior…but…BUT…it is a Dodge Diplomat.
The Diplomat was a gussied up version of the Dodge Aspen which was just a slightly retooled Dodge Dart. Unfortunately the 70s were not condusive towards performance and the 318 cubic inch LA-series V8 put out a smog throttled 135 horsepower while the 225 slant-6 version puts out 100 horsepower.

How do I say this diplomatically? I would veto the purchase of this automobile.
p.s. I love the Presidents gif. Well done DT!
Drumpf! LOL! A pile of junk is way too diplomatic.kinda like saying Drumpf is just a joke…
You could make a great sleeper out of this car.
