1987 Chrysler Fifth Avenue from North America - Comments

"A nice first car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Front brakes replaced at 100,000.

Radio replaced at 100,000.

General comments?

This car is the most comfortable car that I have ever rode in or owned. The 318 has enough power to move through traffic and around other cars. I bought it from my friends father for $75.00 USD. It has been great for me ever since.

The gas needle in my 1986 Fifth Avenue does not work correctly when tank is over half full. What is the best way to get this problem taken care of?

How much horse power does a stock 1987 fifth avenue with a 318 2 barrel have, where can I get a replacement cloth top.

Any apholstery/shop can replace your vinyl or cloth top.

Stock horsepower is around 140 bhp with the 318 2bbl setup. This is not the key number however. 240 ft. lbs. of American made iron V-8 torque! Let her shift into 3rd gear and just keep your foot on the pedal. It'll pull it out in the end.

Yeah the car has a little rust spots, but the thing drives like a tank. It never dies on me, it has a 318 block, which with the proper adjustment to the engine, you can turn it into a 360.

The interior is beautiful, the only thing that is bad about it is the vinyl roof is coming down.

I wouldn't sell this car, they are very rare.

With an "adjustment" to the engine, you can turn a 318 into a 360?

Please explain how an "adjustment" can increase cubic displacement, as I would like to turn my Neon's engine into a big-block.
