Weren't K-cars front wheel drive?  This one isn't.

K-cars came out early to mid 80s, and were indeed FWD.

This Mirada is definitely not a K-car.

It does remind me of the 1980 Dodge Aspen I learned to drive in, so I approve. :thumbsup:

That interior looks nice; are the seats replacements, or just re-covered originals?  I always had my doubts about the utility of re-covering a seat whose springs are worn out.  But if that isn't the case with your new car, it's in amazing shape for its age.

Recovered to original color and resprung/padded.

Your statement about just recovering old seats is very true. It is darn near useless to recover seats with worn/broken springs and padding. I have the two front bucket seats on the R/T that need to be redone. However the springs are good. I'll be replacing the padding and recovering them.

:lol:  Pimpin', Boogie Nights style.  You go, Steve Dallas.   That white reminds me of my old Plymouth's interior.  Looked like a Pepsident commercial full of Phyllis Diller teeth.

I dunno, man...those Diplomat police packages took a beating back in the day;  not too sure how sure the grip will be.  :unsure:

I'll be going through the axle prior to it being installed. Bearings, drum brakes, and differential carrier.
