- This body style was last built at Lynch Road Assembly Plant (LRA) in Detroit, Michigan.
LRA closed in April over 40 years ago. Locally, the plant was known as Plymouth's. The plant was designed by Albert Kahn and opened for production in 1927. The 1979 model saw a significant size reduction and was limited to a four-door body style.

A truly under appreciated mopar series.
So this "Lean Burn" 360 2 bbl has been converted as I see the orange box on the drivers side firewall and I don't see the factory engine harness plugged into the computer?....As original as this car is I wonder why it was converted?...Everyone craps on the Lean Burn system but I've only replaced one computer in over 35 years of driving Lean Burn cars.....My grandfather special ordered a new "79 New Yorker 5th Ave with the E58 360 4 bbl dual exhaust back in the day...Super rare....He didn't keep it long though as he had a thing for Chrysler Imperials and traded his 5th Ave in on a new "82 Imperial.👍👍👍
Your grandfather's New Yorker must have been a rare beast.
These cars never looked this good new 😊
Absolutely gorgeous car.
❤❤❤❤❤
I remember sitting in one exactly like that at the Chicago Auto show back in 1980 when I was a kid
What a beauty , bad rep or not I would love to own a nice one.🤓👍
That IS a very, very, nice car! But I've gotta say. I've owned many, many, many Mopars and that 'R'' body was the ABSOLUTE WORST garbage they EVER came up with! Tons of cheap plastic and aluminum that didn't last. Some of the parts you couldn't even get replacements for a few years after they made them. It was only around from '79-'81 and I saw many of the cop car models that fell apart before the older B and C bodies. Supposedly they came up with the 'R' body (really a 'B' body platform) with tons of lightened aluminum and plastic parts to compete with the downsized GM mid sized 'B' body Caprices and Impalas and Olds, Pontiac and Buick intermediates. I've had a half dozen of the Imperials and those aluminum bumpers are ATROCIOUS! (same as these "R' bodies). Chrysler was going through some serious turmoil during the short production of that line, starting in '79.
The GM B bodies were downsized big cars.
@@aaronwilliams6989 The R bodies were lightened big cars. Chrysler's strategy at the time was buyers would rather have a roomier car, which was lightened to save fuel.
We had five 1980 Plymouth Volaries in our fleet, they had a top speed of 95mph, not acceptable for police use.
@@robinsattahip2376I had 2 Volares in my lifetime and documented them on my channel. Both were Super Slant sixes. I never really liked them even though we were a Mopar family.
Excelente car !
That lean burn is not functional. The dealer converted it to straight electronic ignition.
Boñus
Probably runs real good now. Get rid of the cat and add some clean-flowing duals.
You could stand to lay off the zoom a bit holy cow
How reliable was the lean burn system?
Not too. Lots of issues from placement of the computer under the hood, analog computer tech, hard starting etc. I had a '77 A38 Gran Fury with a 440 and lost a few sets of mufflers from the 'lean burn' cutting out at highway speeds. Just converted to std electronic ign and had no issues. Lean Burn was an emissions compliance system. Later versions they recalibrated the carb to be less lean and called it 'Electronic Spark Control' and added a rudimentary carb mixture control pulse solenoid.
@@vincemajestyk9497Lean Burn was a novel concept poorly executed. Nowadays everything is lean burn....😎
Failure rate was less than 6%……
Intriguing cars due to their short history.
