I spoke to him once, I had a speed density system on my Mustang. It was known that you couldn't add heads, cam, intake, ect... to those. I didn't know it at the time and was running 12.60s. I called him and asked for more lol. He said I was special to have gotten there on my own. I was cheap and determined is all.

Gotta give the man credit. He did save Chrysler. The way he did it probably shouldn’t have happened but he did it and kept it an American brand.

The mini-vans were built on the K Car platform.

You are not wrong sir but they didn't really take off like wild fire until the Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth design came out. Others tried to break the Mold like Toyota and Ford but the basic Chrysler design is the one that stuck.

Sorry to here that. My parents had one for maybe six months at most before the transmission took a dump (on the way to church no less). The seller came with a tow truck and a replacement vehicle (Buick Skylark). We never saw the K-Car ever again.
