Accelerator pump non-return valve came loose in carb @ 55,000 mi. Head gasket failed (factory defective installation) @ 75,000 mi. Heater inadequate for cold climates. Never notified by mfr. that brakes were inadequate. Changed to '73 rear end & replacement master cylinder in 1986. Brakes now superb.
Car incredibly reliable. Orig. battery lasted >8 years. Orig. A/C still going strong. Rebuilt engine @ 273,000 mi. As of JAN99, car still daily driver @ 302,000 mi. Car 100% Mitsubishi brand-labeled by Dodge. Dodge should never have changed to front wheel drive model which I have found are total dogs by comparison.
Still have the Colt Wagon?
I miss the heck out of mine!
Lou.
I absolutely love my '74 Colt Wagon. Wish parts were easier to find, though.
I have a 72' Dodge Colt Wagon, recently got it for my Birthday. I have a few questions though, if any one could reply to me: Kaniko69@aol.com
~The back window was shot out, and I need to find a replacement. Know any where?
~Exhaust system is broken, and I have no idea on how to go about fixing that.
~Also, I bought a stereo for it, because mine only has am radio. Anyhow, I have to rewire every thing by myself, and All of the part stores I have gone to have no idea what a Dodge Colt (72') is.
If anyone has any ideas or knows of anywhere to go to get parts, please write to me. Thank you, Nicole.
I owned a dodge colt 72, 4 doors
what I loved about this is it's
durability
the ride
low maintenance cost
availability of parts.
I have a mitsubishi dodge colt two door sedan. I still use it everyday. Most of the parts are original and have rebuilt the engine only once since. I would want to know where I could get engine and underchasis parts. my driver side window mechanism is already busted, anyone know where to purchase one?
