This is my daily driver Chrysler Fifth Avenue, a.k.a. the fifth. It started out as a luxurious but smothered granny car. I got it in 2005, and it was nice, but slow...It had 89k miles, and an immaculate interior for an 18 year old car. Since this was a RWD V8, i decided that i wanted to make this ride a fast, but completely comfortable car. 

Gas mileage?? dont ask...i've never gotten over 12mpg, and it only eats premium, but you cant have fast and good gas mileage in the same car

I  had the luck of getting in an accident (not my fault)with an uninsured driver, so now i had to fix this too.

Well I hunted all over, to try to find replacement doors for that car with no luck. i was ready to give up, until I uncovered another fifth in my neighbors backyard while chasing a horse back to the barn. I was overjoyed and bought it from him for $250. I replaced all 4 doors on my car, and the hood. The black looks nice with the candy maroon, but needs to be repainted the same color at some point.

 Trimmed down the spoiler to look nicer, and it fit right into the stock mounting holes

 I installed hood pins, and they help keep the hood from vibrating on my dirt road ( had no clue why the hood couldn't stay tight, but this fixed it).

I chromed the vents on the hood, just another little personal touch to make the car different.

   New mag rims off an '88 grand marquis.  they are definitley better than wire hubcaps, and from a distance look sweet, but up close u can tell im in the process of repainting them. 

These rims are wide enough that i can put 255 50 r15's on the rear and 240 50 r15's on the front- no whitewalls

Looking good so far. Really like the seat idea to give it more of a bucket seat feel, but with seats that fit, and look right. 5*'s

did your throttle response or low end suffer at all from such a big carb?
