Car description from seller:
I am reducing my collection of 25+ cars as I'll soon be moving to a smaller home without the garage space I currently have, and I have an immediate need for the cash.
This is an excellent condition 2-tag Dodge Diplomat with a rare (for Diplomat -- most of which were 318ci and 225ci) 360 ci. I am the second owner, and have a copy of the original 1978 Missouri title Used to transfer into my name. The car spent it's life in St. Louis/St. Charles before I bought it.
The original owner added a cruise control and a hitch -- good for a small trailer, boat, or SeaDoo. The rear suspension (stance and ride) appears to be like new, so I'll assume nothing big or heavy was ever towed with this car.
I keep the car in the garage at my lake house -- as a second car. I swapped out the "Lean-Burn" system for an Edelbrock Performer intake, Edelbrock 750 CFM carb with e/choke, Mopar Performance ignition, Accell coil and plug wires, and Edelbrock AC idle solenoid. I've done this on quite a few Mopar 360s -- as they flat run a ton better.
The car runs, drives, and rides great -- and I know of nothing needing repair. Motor is quiet and responsive (without any bog), and the transmission shifts are crisp. I changed the tranny fluid -- and it looked good. I changed the oil and cut open the filter -- and all looked well there too. AC was recently serviced.
I have the old Lean Burn system that I can put in the trunk if the buyer wishes. I feel like they're useless and gutless.
To me, the 78 and 79 boat-tail Diplomats and LeBarons were the best looking cars of 78 and 79 -- save maybe the Magnum. This is a fine example. I spent years looking for the one that would satisfy me -- and I wasn't disappointed when I went to St. Charles to get this one -- and still not disappointed today.
I would get into this car and drive it to anywhere in the US with the confidence I'd have driving a new car.
