79Chrysler's 1980 Dodge Mirada


This is my 1980 Dodge Mirada CMX. Here you'll see pictures of the vehicle when I first purchased her. I completely found the car by accident. Make a long story short, I was looking for a car to get me through the rest of school (I was going for Auto Body, and working 2 jobs at the time).

I found the car on Mothers Day 2007, and purchased her the next day from a guy named Richard Elliot. He purchased the vehicle for his wife, but after a few months she wanted it gone. You could tell he didn't want to give up the car, but I assured him that car would be in good hands (plus I've always wanted a Mirada).

The car had 103K on the 5.2L, and is mostly orginal. The car was primed in white, but the problem was that who ever primed it, didn't tape off any of the trim or the windows (needless to say I spent more time cleaning off the overspary then anything else). The back end had rotted out but the body was in really good shape. Since then I've installed a sound system, upgraded the headlight to H4s, shaved the sidemarks, removed the smog pump, put on dual exhaust, and have done routnie maintance.
