Dodge Aries K

It's not turbocharged so I hope that won't count too far against this...
This is Kristy. She's a 1985 Dodge Aries K base model coupe. From what I've been told by the Walter P Chrysler museum she is the ONLY one made set up like she is. Can ya believe that, one of a kind... Luckily she's in excellent shape with low LOW miles. I plan on preserving her to the best of my ability to have her be one of the cleanest lowest mileage K cars left out there.
-22,000 original miles with a 2.2L Holley 6520 carb'ed engine and the A460 4 Speed floor shifted transmission
-No radio
-No a/c or rear defrost
-No power steering
-No cruise, tilt, delay wipers (high low and off is all you get)
-Extra cost gunmetal blue paint
-Extra cost cloth charcoal/gray interior
-Extra cost luxury 13" wheelcovers
-1985 super base model only slate gray headlight surrounds and black door trim
I bought her with 18,413 miles for $100 because the second (technically third because the original owner died and left it to her son) owner screwed up the carb. We rebuilt it and replaced the ORIGINAL timing belt and she runs like a charm. The alternator/water pump belt is still ORIGINAL as are all the hoses. They will be changed in the near future for the car's safety. I'm the third owner of her who drove her and will be the last until she goes to the Chrysler museum to be cherished by many future generations as the car who saved the Chrysler Corporation.

Keep in mind this car has NEVER been restored or had any body/paint work done to her since she was made in October of 1984.
