The Dodge Dynasty was one of the largest variants of the Chrysler K-Car, in production from 1988 to 1993. It employed front-wheel-drive, a V6 engine, and was considered a mid-size car by size and weight. This 1990 example of the Dynasty was abandoned on the seller’s property, and vandals have had their way with it, adding graffiti in ample portions. This Mopar would be an ambitious and costly project for a restoration, so the seller suggests using it as a parts car or a Demolition Derby candidate. Located in Alexandria, Tennessee, this colorful mess is available here on eBay, where just a single bid of $1.00 has been cast ($420 gets to take it home today).
Dynasty sales were limited to 4-door sedans, and the C-body platform was shared with the Chrysler New Yorker. The latter car was more luxurious, but both automobiles were mechanically the same. By 1990, a transversely mounted 3.3-liter V6 was employed along with a 3-speed automatic transmission. The Dynasty was a big seller for Dodge at more than half a million units in six years. The seller’s car is one of 94,683 assemblies in 1990.
What may or may not have led to the seller’s car’s demise was that the passenger side CV axle is broken. It was dropped off on this lot, and the local spray paint artists have used it for target practice. It has also served as a storage unit for all kinds of junk, which we’re told will all be cleaned out before the buyer comes to haul the Dodge away. One wheel was removed, but it’s there and will go with the car.
Besides the axle problem, the health of the V6 is unknown at 97,000 miles. There is some surface rust present, but you have to assume you’ll find more as the car has been sitting on the ground for possibly ages (it snows in that part of the country!). The interior may be okay, and all of the glass appears to be intact, so maybe the Dynasty hasn’t been a home for small woodland creatures. Thanks for the cheap wheels tip, Mitchell G.!
Inherited the FIL’s DieNasty. That thing ate more transmissions than any other car I’ve had the (dis)pleasure of (dis)owning.
Wound up blowing a head gasket and it got towed away by a Donation Station flatbed.
I’d say get a dumpster, but they already have one!
I’d buy it, take it to a car show, park it next to a Porsche
Get it running, put a clear coat on it, good to go…
In some big cities? This Dynasty would be considered art.
And I thought my dual Impala convertible submission was pushing it…
I may have dain bramage, but not enough to spend time/resources on a trashed out Dodge Dynasty.
Looks like a homeless person was living in it.
why is this up valuable space here? this is a dumpster find
these are not cheap wheels, these are worthless wheels, except as scrap. Had one of these as a company car for a brief time, ugh.
These were decent cars to drive. Smooth and comfortable. The LE was comparable to the New Yorker Salon. A-604 transmissions were a black eye to an otherwise good car. When I saw the window regulator I assumed it was a 2.5 or 3-liter. What a sorry mess this one is.
Why is this even on this site?
Won several demo derbies with Dynasty/New Yorkers
Why Is it on this site ? Its more of a outside BARN FIND then the $100,000 + showroom car dealers cars that somehow frequent this site . Buy it for $100 and scrap it make $300.
A better question is why my more pointed comment about this was not printed at all.
As a lifelong resident of TN . I can definitively say snow here is a rarity .
This is the looniest car ever to appear on EBay. Why waste the time, call the closest junkyard.
I don’t think Krystle Carrington would be riding in that Dynasty.
Brilliant. Rather than pay someone to haul it off, the seller is hoping someone will pay HIM and haul it off…
Russ, did you park in the bosses parking spot again? Steal his lunch out of the break room? Must have been something pretty serious to get dissed by having to write up a scrap heap like this. I can’t imagine any other reason to include this car on the site. Ridiculous.
