Junkyard Find: 1991 Dodge Shadow Convertible

The Dodge Shadow and its Plymouth Sundance sibling were among the last members of the extended Chrysler K-car family to be built, sold from the 1987 through 1994 model years and replaced by the Neon after that.

Well, none except for this example that managed to dodge The Crusher’s jaws for two full decades before its final tow into a Denver self-service wrecking yard.

  • SCE to AUX It's cheap for a Lucid, and probably too cheap to make a profit.
  • Tassos At $80k worthless, cackling Kamala Dollars it will sell a few lousy cheap Lucids. But if you are asking if it will sell a MILLION UNITS A YEAR, NOT IN YOUR SILLY DREAMS. NO OTHER MODEL THAN THE Model 3/Y has been able to Achieve this sTUNNing success.
  • AMcA Lyriq was a slow seller early this year - I went on the website and looked at dealer inventory, and they were stacked up like cord wood. I tried the same search a couple weeks back and it looks like they're in short supply now, only a handful in my area. It appears it's caught on, which justifies this further variant.
