Geez, we kinda like that old silver radio. We have owned our 1982 D 400 convertible for many years. What a joy it's been. It's my wife's favorite car. Our 400 was repainted Forest Green so it looks good. We get a ton of compliments on it.
That's a survivor car, for sure! I think you're underestimating the K car's value. These didn't usually last very long, and those that survived this long are RARE!
We have a forest green one and it gets a LOT of attention. It's almost mind-blowing. There could be a super nice Camaro or Mustang sitting right next to it and people are more interested in our 1982 Dodge 400 convertible. It's really quite incredible.
I think you underestimate us your subscribers sometimes. This is a unique car and I feel there are more of us like seeing this style of car on the channel. The K car is definitely an interesting car. Would love to see you do a few things to it but seems you have already made your mind up and do nothing to make it better. Loved the video great job!
The K Car was a very important car and is responsible for bringing Chrysler back from bankruptcy. Lee Iiacocca was so successful brinking these models to market for Chrysler that he was put in charge of the rehabbing of the Statue of Liberty.
I have not seen a 1982 Dodge K car for years, especially a convertible top I had never seen before, and it's a good running car. You got lucky on Randy !!!!!
I would MUCH rather watch you save cars like these than some fancy rich boy toys that many YT channels feature. Something like this is much more realistic for normal folks than those kind of cars!
Seriously I'd rather see you rebuild something like this for content value over fixing up a muscle car; everyone and their brother does that on TH-cam. Honestly thinking I might have the broker bid on this car; first generation K Cars in good running order with no real rust I can see are like hen's teeth. I've always loved these old cars having owned an Aries and a Reliant.
Right? I can go to so many channels and see classics being restored, or newer cars being built to blow tires off, but nobody seems to really even bat an eye at the under-appreciated survivors like randy does
Yup owned a Reliant 2 Door with the vynil top and Opera lights installed. It had the HUGE displacement 2.2 Litre (I think?) but mine had the ultra high performance 4 Speed (maybe 5?) in it! Woo Hoo what a rocket it was 😆🤣😂.
These are worth 4500-6000 in perfect shape. The 400 was made for only 2 years. These convertibles were super rare. Most of them were 4 doors and Coupes Hardtops. I'm a K car fan. Man Red Green would be jelious of you
@@ronalddaub9740 The 82 and 83 were sent out to have the top done and they don't have quarter glass. the 84 and newer were done in house by Chrysler and were much nicer, They had a better top frame and convertible top and they had a quarter window!
@My Pronoun is WTF It looks nice, but one that's been driven an average of about 630 miles a year as has been claimed with that car has got to be exceptional.
@My Pronoun is WTF the 600 was an E body with the Chrysler New Yorker and Plymouth Caravelle. The K body started with the Chrysler LeBaron and the Dodge 400. The Plymouth Reliant came soon after. K bodies had the notch back rear window (squared off). The E bodies had the sloped rear glass with the extra quarter glass for more trunk space.
just picked up an 83 400 convertible in amazing physical condition and under 80k miles for around $4300 just a quick tune under the hood and i think i got myself an awesome little car show cruiser lol
Randy, I had an 85 charger with that same engine and it would do every bit of 145 mph. It was lighter than yours but the 2.2 with a carb was a good engine. It may just need a tune up to get more power out of it.
My memories might be clouded by all the years, but I seem to recall the 2.2 eventually being considered the better of the two engines. The Mitsubishi 2.6 being terrible oil burners. Everyone has probably seen the old minivans blowing clouds of blue smoke? Those were all 2.6s.
@@peoriavideosltd6822 The 2.6 were garbage when the balance shaft went out and the carb was another sore part . I had plenty of 2.2's non turbo and turbo I bought a 2.2 K car wagon that had a blown head gasket that a customer brought in I was working at a dodge dealer and the service writer said it was too old for the service dept to work on any way the customer asked if I would work on it told him sorry no can due then he asked if I wanted to buy it so he offered it to me for $100 I bought it and did a lift and slide gasket replacement sold it 3months later for $1000 dollars anyway IMHO a 2.2 is way better than the Mitsu 2.6.
Remeber when that car was made the speed limit was only 55mph ya know.So it did'nt need to be fast.People had other things on their minds than worrying about how fast their car was.
It's exactly the kind of content i subscribed for! Thank you for taking care of those old forgotten/disliked cars to offer us some good content and the oportunity to keep them alive.
Similar to my first car, a grey '83 Plymouth Reliant 2-door with red plush seating and an automatic shifter on the floor. I drove it everywhere, and it never let me down. Definitely worth restoring this baby!
I'm by far not even close to being Dodge fan but I absolutely love those old 80s and 90s Dodge k-car 4 bangers... So simple and now unique... If I could find a k-car in that good shape in canuckistan I'd restore the beegeezus out of it. 😁
I must say that I was hoping for more content on this car. Would have been interesting to see the interior put back together with the stock stereo and some cheap Walmart speakers, how well the paint would shine up, how the wheel hub bearing replacement went and possibly a new top. I have no idea if the TH-cam money would have covered the cost, though.
Randy, you say the car isn't worth much, however, the best way to really test that theory is refurbish it, new top, quick paint job, detail it & send it to a mecum auction.....there IS content & profitability indeed on this car believe it or not....
Dear Randy. I guess you need to do more research on this car. You will be surprised if it’s true value. That engine is good. Just fix the AC Abd the radio
Lol Randy You crack me up!! That poor car on its best day only does 85 hp ... Its probably a pretty rare car now. Most of them went to the scrapper 20 years ago
Damn I remember those K cars everywhere back in the day. They pretty much saved Chrysler at that time. Can't recall the last time I've seen one on the road great find.
Last one I remember was a derelict parked down street that was low end. Yep during a hard rain the back end floated around and was in middle of street.
There was a semi round trunk key I remember most car's had them. You got it for an amazing price it is amazing that the roof still works the picture is great nice and clear.😀🇨🇦
You're too used to driving that Hellcat Randy. LOL. Actually, if you look back, that slow dog engine was about par for the day of other manufacturers offerings like the Citation or Fairmont. Anywhere from 80-90 hp range was the norm for 4 cyl vehicles. Drop a slush box in them and they were absolute nightmares to get onto a freeway. But you got to admit, that Dodge 400 was a good looking vehicle in it's day. Still is in my opinion.
You know your right about “not too many people would want that car” but what great content for us and the opportunity for you to enjoy your job alittle bit more. 😀 Send it!😉
I'd like to see you so repairs to it and put the original radio back in it and working, and put a top on it. Maaco to touch up the original white paint. You can most likely find factory wheels at the junkyard. Put the original wheel covers back on it. They are rare to the point they are collectable. There is a market for them.
Noting the Virginia state inspection and the electronic parking pass from which I believe is D.C. I'm pretty sure I know who used to own this. He has a collection of old K cars including his Mom's old 86 Aries with only 46,000 original miles.
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds hey randy u can send me that kcar as a gift lol... I have had a couple of them i even had a kcar wagon that was a 4speed.... I would love to have that i live in a small town and dont need speed but me and my 6month old daughter would look cool sporting that around town lol
We have a 1982 Dodge 400 convertible and have owned it many years. It definitely turns a lot of heads and we get asked questions about it all the time. It's such a great car for cruising around in. The electric top is super fast. I found old repair books to keep it going. We have BMW, Subaru and Toyota cars as well, but this is definitely a favorite! Drive it like a golf cart and it's very relaxing and reliable. The front seats are VERY comfortable. If find one and are handy with tools or have a mechanic that understands carburators. This is such an interesting car. Little kids and elderly people really like it. It isn't a GTO or Mustang, it's very rare. And we really love it. ❤ (Long term ownership experience here 😉).
Hi randy my very first car was an 82 white 2 door k car, loved that car it got me through high school the only repair I had done to that car was timing belt, you showing that car brings back to the good old days ! Thanks randy
Memories ! I took the test to get me drivers license in a hard top model of these . It was a cool little car . The one my dad had loved passenger side hub bearings . He got it cheap do to heal damage .
My family had an 84 Reliant that was bought new. 2.2 liter 4 banger, and the car was slow, but reliable as hell. 220,000 on it when we scrapped it because it rusted too badly. Great car that got 38 mpg all day every day.
Your so lucky in the U.S to have such an awesome variety of cars to choose from, my gosh for the price it was a steel, and the values will eventually start to rise. Such a nice convertible for someone to spend a few dollars and make a great car. Stay strong all of my Brothers and Sisters from the U.S, love Australia 🇦🇺
I would like to see what Jessica thinks of it. You could get some parts from a pull-a-part yard. Also if you put a top on it I would put a cheap one on it. You could make it a giveaway car.
You can bump up the ignition timming a bit and it'll help it get up and go a lot better. Iirc the base timming on those 2.2/2.5L was way too low at about 12°.
I had both an '84 LeBaron and a 400 convertible in the late 90's. They were slow and cantankerous but lots of fun. Thanks for reminding me of those good times.
This is a very cool and unique car. There were no American convertibles available from ‘76 until the early ‘80s, and this was one the first ones to return. Ted Kennedy drove the Le Baron version when they first came out. Great video!
Had one of these when I was 19 Bought it for 400 put a radiator in it and drove it for two years then sold it for 400 . Car was amazingly smooth and very comfortable and roomy . But yes it was really slow . Mine was whit exterior with super blue interior vinyl seats and dash . Put a jamming stereo and 6x9 Speakers under the back dash and was cool sounding ride
If you decide to do anything to it please put a top on it to preserve that nice interior. I think someone would like to have it, especially in that kind of condition.
my parents had many of the 2.2's and they were not as bad as they made them sound. Worse issue was the head gasket and it was a fairly easy fix. My dad had a timing belt break and all it took was the belt to repair it. didn't even bend any valves.
That car in its day was hot sh*t. One of the first convertibles in a long time. With a turbocharger, performance wasn’t horrible. Turbo lag and torque steer made it somewhat exciting.
I really want to see more videos on this car plz. I'd rather see you rebuild something like this for content, New top, a new stereo, and a paint job YES SIR. Please do a needful I am really interested to see more content on this. Like the video quality and new camera
This is a pretty rare car. They apparently go for between $7500 and $12,000 at Barrett Jackson ( which has pretty inflated prices) but it could be worth putting a top on it, and a paint job. I think it’s pretty cool.
I remember my parents had two 87 Plymouths. They were so good, but so crap at the same time. They were not K-cars but they were the same era of Chrysler Corp.
New top, new stereo, and a paint job and this ones great! I’d love to see you save this; you said it yourself, you don’t see these anymore!
Wtf is going on here with these replies
Why paint it. The paint looks like it can be shined up.

I've owned a couple K cars. They were a really good car.
My favorite 1 was my DODGE 600 convertible.
I have a 1986 Dodge 600 convertible. It is a nice car to drive and it’s easy to repair.
but the car is so freaking ugly
I have not seen a 1982 Dodge K car for years, especially a convertible top I had never seen before, and it's a good running car. You got lucky on Randy !!!!!
I bet that classic K car fixed up would've really caught some looks at the car show. It ain't always about the muscle cars man.
That car is a steal as this Chrysler is in great shape for age and price!
Really good deal on that! Really cool car and a convertible, definitely worth fixing it up.
I would MUCH rather watch you save cars like these than some fancy rich boy toys that many YT channels feature. Something like this is much more realistic for normal folks than those kind of cars!

Worked for Chrysler dealership and these cars were very good. Dependable.
To those who bought cars from Randy, I'm curious. What's your experience with them and working with him?
I would like to see what Jessica thinks of it. You could get some parts from a pull-a-part yard. Also if you put a top on it I would put a cheap one on it. You could make it a giveaway car.

Car was amazingly smooth and very comfortable and roomy .
But yes it was really slow .

You are having way too much fun! It's nice to see.
You look far better in that 400 then the Red Eye. LOL I saw on eBay a 1985 Dodge 600 with a 2.2 for 18,900, they are crazy asking that price.
I was 11 when that car was new, and I would definitely love having it as a daily driver. I always loved K cars. They had great gas mileage.
The carbureted 2.2L engines were not all that bad. The fuel injected 2.2 turbo had the most problems. But the carbureted engine is painfully slow 😂
The later 2.2/2.5 with TBI are generally more reliable
If you decide to do anything to it please put a top on it to preserve that nice interior. I think someone would like to have it, especially in that kind of condition.
I love it super rare. Running strong.
my parents had many of the 2.2's and they were not as bad as they made them sound. Worse issue was the head gasket and it was a fairly easy fix. My dad had a timing belt break and all it took was the belt to repair it. didn't even bend any valves.
theres nothing wrong with the 2.2, I'm looking at a 85 600 at the moment. i love it, you wont be seeing a ton where ever you go
That car in its day was hot sh*t. One of the first convertibles in a long time. With a turbocharger, performance wasn’t horrible. Turbo lag and torque steer made it somewhat exciting.
I bought a 1991 Lebaron Convertible for $500,at Auction,runs great just needs a new AT41 transmission I'm committed to bringing it back to life
That interior looks comfy
The top works, unlike some Newer German convertibles you have had in the past. That car is nearly 40 years old and is still kicking.
I really want to see more videos on this car plz. I'd rather see you rebuild something like this for content, New top, a new stereo, and a paint job YES SIR. Please do a needful I am really interested to see more content on this. Like the video quality and new camera
2.2 is actually a great engine
We had 85 turbo 500 that talked to you it drove me crazy 😂 fun little car to cruise around in .
This is a pretty rare car. They apparently go for between $7500 and $12,000 at Barrett Jackson ( which has pretty inflated prices) but it could be worth putting a top on it, and a paint job. I think it’s pretty cool.
LOVE THE K CAR!!!! KEEP IT! SPRUCE HER UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember my parents had two 87 Plymouths. They were so good, but so crap at the same time. They were not K-cars but they were the same era of Chrysler Corp.
