Seller to refuse a potential buyer.....

[Sublime/Sixpack]

I've seen much uglier cars than this Plymouth. If I was without a vehicle, needed transportation, and was down on cash I'd look this car over and possibly make an offer. Personally I couldn't care less what other people might think if they saw me driving a clean little K-car. At least it's American made, and it would beat walking!

Most of the K cars were not exciting but they were solid and reliable.

We had an 88 Reliant that I bought in 1996 for $200...it had a broken flex-plate...bought a new plate for $35....and that little car just kept going & going...my wife drove it for many years, then my kids drove it...I drove it for a long time as well...I finally gave it to our daughter who had some car issues a while back...when I finally got it back, the suspension was shot, windshield was broke, plus a number of other items that added up to not being worth to fix it.

I also have an 88 Shadow that about 3 years ago the little 2.2 and auto trans finally gave up and surrendered, so I took the 2.5 and auto trans out of the Reliant and put it in the Shadow....so the Reliant's heart and soul still live in the Shadow...

I have renewed respect for these little cars

You didn't sell the car to the circus like with the kids???

That is a funny bit.

The Reliant went to car heaven, the Shadow still resides with us with the drivetrain in it from the Reliant....

The circus didn't want the kids

Indeed. I had a K car in the 80s and it had less issues than my Charger that I'd park in the winter!  lol  (in fact it had no issues in the few years I owned it.)

The guy listing the car seems to be well meaning, but a bit of a nut job.   If you are on Facebook,  look up Chrysler K Car Club, or Guy Coulombe.    It is often comical entertainment on various K-car related misadventures.  

For some reason,  Guy lists cars (sometimes belonging to others) on CL as the "LAST" one.   It's a little weird.  

Ive known him for a few years through the local car scene. Him and his crew are something else (putting it mildly). You know how there are guys who know every chalkmark on A12 cars? Well these guys are that well versed in their k cars. Theyre passionate for sure, and I can certainly appreciate that. Other than that, generally good folks...pretty harmless.

It appears that the CL listing pics were taken at the Spring Fling in Van Nuys, CA. I can tell by the background scenery with the trees and the grass with dirt patches. And also by the placard displayed in the front windshield. So they must take their act there as well.

But to come on strong and state refusal on a suspicious buyer calling them idiots just because they don't know the history of these K cars. What if the guy/gal needs cheap good reliable point A to point B transportation and they have his asking price in cash? And he's going to refuse that buyer?? If it were me I would tell him off.

My folks bought a Reliant new. It was a sharp looking little car, and was good transportation for them. After four or five years they traded it in on a new New Yorker.

I'd totally own a Shelby Charger or GLHS Omni

I bought an '87 Shelby Charger new, it was the biggest POS I've ever owned. Not saying all of them were, but mine was. Almost turned me against Chrysler.

I had three L-body fastback Chargers.   Fun cars for the time.    No huge probs.    Also a base 88 Daytona after that.

Yeah, is either Spring or Fall Fling. They roll in 10-15 strong every time. Theres even a K Car trophy class. It keeps them happy. Like I said, interesting quirky group, but overall good people.

I think he just said "seller to refuse a potential buyer" it was so that in 6 months, when the car is still for sale, he can claim it is because he could not find a worthy owner vs no one wants to pay that much for this thing.
