Meet Roxi

[HWEaton]

Roxi is my "new" 1991 Dodge Dynasty. Every option works but the a/c, which I don't need in Wyoming. All I gotta do to her is a new wiper motor and new blades. They work, but the motion is choppy at best at low speeds.

Roxi has 126k original miles, the 3.3L engine, and the A604 4 speed auto. Interior is still sharp, and that oh so beautiful 90s Mopar red.

And I got her for $500.

Change the blades and lube the linkage before you get a new motor. If the motor is like my 72 Dodge was, it's easy to take apart and clean which might save you the price of a wiper motor.

Nice beater!

I never seem to find deals like that!

She is getting studded Kelly PaceMark snow tires here in a week 195/75/R14's.

So ummm... why "Roxi"?

 

[HWEaton]

I love older, big 4 door full size sedans. I got my eyes on a 69 Caddy Sedan de Ville right now also. I bought and had a 91 Lincoln Town Car for two days before I sold it to a guy that needed a rig ride desperately.

That being said, my wife has to name every vehicle. She named it Roxi because it looks like a car a pimp would drive. Whatever. I just go with the flow, you know?

Years ago my company had few Dyansties...In the same color in fact..They gave us no problems...The company changed the oil in them every 5K miles using just plain old dino and all was well.

You must have very boring pimps in your area - ours drive Caddies, Lincolns, etc. That car seems more like a Blanch, Gertrude, Mildred or Edna to me...

...and they put huge 24"+ rims on them that make them look like 4x4's.

Don't forget about the gaudy lime green paint job and $5000 wheel/tire combo.

Hi Roxie.

 

[HWEaton]

Update thus far on Roxi...

So far, she has been a great little car. She gets pretty decent gas mileage, when I keep my foot off the accelerator. Over the first 1k, she only consumed 1/4 qt of oil. I had M 0W/40 in there and topped of with some Shell 15W/40.

Had an issue with the cooling system. My fans were not kicking on. I replaced relays, fuses, temp switch and thermostat. No luck. SO I hard wired it all to a flip switch on the dash and turn them on and off as I need now.

Need to prolly replace the wiper switch. They still only work on hi. It can be annoying at times, but I'll get it done as soon as I can.

Overall, not a bad little buy for $500.

Sure wasn't, glad it's working out for you.
