Serious offers only.Call Gene at 613-822-0010 after 5 pm. The "M" body Diplomat's immediate design predecessor was the "F" body Dodge Aspen/Plymouth Volaré-Road Runner, from which most of Diplomat's technology and design were derived. Visually, the cars are very similar; their wheelbase is the same, even the doors are interchangeable through the entire run of both models (you can trade the front doors of a '76 Aspen sedan with an '89 Fifth Avenue!). The design predecessor of the Aspen/Volare was the Plymouth Valiant, introduced in 1959. The Dodge variant of the Valiant was the Lancer until 1963, when it was renamed the Dodge Dart. Other cars in this pre-Diplomat family included the 330, 440, Polara and Polara 500 at one time or another. Since the Diplomat was a modification from an existing platform, there is not a "dream car" (now known as a "concept car") from which it was created. The "M" body cars, like most Chrysler Corporation products of the time, are distinguishable from each other on the exterior only by body trim and nameplates. The higher-scale LeBaron was readily identifiable by the front turn signals being placed above the headlights. The tail light lens featured a round "imperial" Lebaron logo in the center. The Diplomat and Caravelle were less likely to have a plush interior and power gadgets, and had their front turn signals placed below the headlights. The tail light lens trim had a more rectangular character. All 1979 models available with 225 slant six or 318 V8, three speed Torqueflite automatic transmission OR BEST REASONABLE OFFER On 20-Jul-10 at 11:22:45 EDT, seller added the following information: 1979 Dodge Diplomat in original condition,( NO RUST AND STORED WINTERS) including specs,manual,spare tire,extra carpet and fender chrome.Professionally assessed at $7,500.
