Neon is in hibernation...the "beater" comes out!

supertrick_05 · Post by **supertrick_05** » Tue Nov 11, 2008 7:55 pm

My dad found this car for $1000 from some old woman who just didn't need it, since her husband died. It's a 1990 Dodge Dynasty with 91,xxx actual miles, and has everything I need...all except a cd player, which I'm swapping out the stocker for my Panasonic I have sitting around. I'll probably replace all of the speakers with Durabrand speakers from Wal-Mart (door and dash speakers are decayed). I may even take the leap and buy new hubcaps and get a cool hitch cover! I'm gonna wash it, shampoo the interior, and degrease the engine bay and I'll take better pics. N-E-ways, here she is

Sorry for the JDM tilt pics...I didn't feel like running back up to my room to get the wide-angle lens

*EDIT* I just popped the trunk a few minutes ago....HOLY SHIT! I think I'm the first person to ever pop open the trunk lid on this car! Well, besides my dad, who put the "upgraded" jack and tire iron in there. I mean, the thing is absolutely BRAND FUCKIN NEW! I was in total shock!

buddy of mine had a dynasty... it would NOT die. even after he smashed it into a few poles, repaired it... still the engine would not go

Nice man.

Actually, now that I think about it, I saw him driving it a few months ago... So even 3 years out of highschool and he STILL has the damn thing.

not bad for a beater

Wow, I never knew they put the 3.0L V6 in thoes. Even with an auto trans it should have some get up and go. And a front bench seat? That BIG PIMPIN' there!

Danteneon · Post by **Danteneon** » Wed Nov 12, 2008 9:25 am

They came with 2.5, 3.0, 3.3, and 3.8s.

Very nice sir! The engine bay looks clean as well. Like you said, with a good cleaning it will make a great beater

Nice find! That thing is clean for being almost 19yrs old

I'd leave the stock hub caps, unless you can find some wire basket hub caps that came on New Yorkers or Imperials.

I bet that thing would be a nice, smooth ride on road trips.

put some 10" wire wheels on it with white walls & you're set

supertrick_05 · Post by **supertrick_05** » Wed Nov 12, 2008 10:23 pm

Thanks guys! I just ordered some RCA replacement front/rear speakers...all 4 for $30 shipped! LoL! They have rubber surrounds and a poly cone, so they should be better than the Durabrand stuff at Wal-Mart. I also bought an installation kit for my Panasonic reciever from Target for $20 and comes with the dash kit and all the wiring harnesses. Not a bad deal for a cheap audio system! I might do a few things to her here and there, but nothing major. I've thought about putting a turbo muffler with a nice dual tip and some sort of a home-made intake system just for shits-n-giggles...we'll see

Oh, and Dante...only the Imperials and New Yorkers came with the 3.8. The Dynasty's biggest engine was the 3.3L.

Our dynasty had like a billion miles

True. I was referring to all C/Y bodies. I should have been more specific

BlackRoseRacing · Post by **BlackRoseRacing** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 5:58 am

So this is how your "Neon" stays so clean.....
Mine looks like hell right now due to the great wintry weather

supertrick_05 · Post by **supertrick_05** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 11:48 am

Ha, yes Chris, I've driven my Neon in one winter, and it'll be the last winter that Naiya ever sees!

MyNeonSaysHi · Post by **MyNeonSaysHi** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 1:18 pm

^ Lucky! Thats really going to keep your car looking sharp since it won't have to deal with the harsh Minnesota winters, specially in Duluth!

I wantz a beater!

Post by **racer12306** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 11:03 pm

i'd give it a good 2000-2500lbs

looks pretty sweet. my '93 spirit was in excellent shape for its age too. no rust on the car anywhere which is rare... usually the bottoms of the doors are all rotted out on them. i couldn't imagine a dynasty with a 2.5... that would have to be a bear. the 2.5 was barely enough to move the spirit, and it has to weigh a fair amount less than a dynasty.
