BUYING A 1 of 1 MOPAR CONCEPT CAR!?!?! 

The first Dodge Mirada I saw was on the cover of Motor Trend magazine in Taupo, New Zealand. I decided then and there that when I got home that was what I was going to buy. And that's exactly what happened. I loved that car wish I still had it.

You didn't show how the headlight doors work. Are they electrically operated or manual?

Such an awesome car. A real treasure.

Well it's interesting. The hidden headlights are unique, so is the "non-padded" roofline. The dechromed tail lights look nice too. I had always wished they made the car in a real convertible configuration.

That is so neat. I drove a 1980 Chrysler Cordoba from 2002-2003 & this thing looks like it's sinister "dark side" brother!

Definitely beautiful car I would probably sell my 72 Olds Cutlass Supreme for that dodge Mirada. My parents used to own one black with red interior 360 engine under the hood

Well beatifull car chysler corporation innovatives vehicles very Nice

This car looks like the 6000 SUX from Robocop

Man what a time capsule! Beautiful car.👌😎👍

I saw it running around the Highland Park complex back in the day. Working there we were able to see all these cars at one time or another. I worked at Chrysler Engineering from 1965 to 2007.

I had a 80 Mirada in my day .It had a slant 6 with a reworked distributor curve and Stromberg 2 barrel . I reworked the exhaust also. This gave me an incredible 42 mpg on the highway , 24 in the city , a huge improvement from the stock mileage . With the T bar roof , I could cruise those summer nights till dawn , cool-n-cheap . It is long gone , but I still have great memories and a spare T roof in my garage rafters if some is interested . It was silver also , without lean burn , which was a problem on the 8 cyl . Some Miradas became muscled up with 340 or 440's . Way back then , I had a 392 cross ram back up , but sold it for big bucks .

Miradas are cool I never knew this car existed.

How in the world did you get this car

How the hell did you get that car ???

How do you insure a car like that?

My parents had an Aspen wagon for 30+ years (i owned it for a while). I've always had a soft spot for all the related F/M/J cars. Can't wait to see more of this car and more of what you uncover about it. Subscribed.

I remember this at 1980 Chicago Auto Show, isn't called "International...", that's Detroit's. Pic was also in car magazines.

One heck of a find!!!

You are probably right that it was supposed to be crushed because at the time Lee Iacocca was in charge and he hated anything real drive that Chrysler had and just put up with it and didn't improve or upgrade the rear wheel cars at all which was a shame because the Cordoba and Mirada could very well competed well with the Monte Carlos Oldsmobile Cutlas, Ford Thunderbird and Mercury Cougars of the day.

Nice acquirement! Great interview with Lou at the show. You provide great care for all your cars ❤

Beautiful car. I Would change the oil before you put to many miles on it. Your probably going to have to replace all the seals because it's going to leak like a seive.😊

I clicked on this video because I thought you had found the Dodge Mirada concept car that had a jet engine under the hood. I couldn't find any information about that car except for one image and a reference to it on the 10th page of google.

It has the 81 to 83 Chrysler Imperial front end on a Mirada. I thought it was a Imperial at first till I saw the rear of the car.

Silly question, can i find conceal headlight cover for my 80 mirada?

That Mercury xm in that photobook looks like a 1985-86 Toyota MR2

Nice find, You can see the influence it had on alot of the front wheel drive cars, especially the front end. It would have been nice if it had a Slant 6.

That's a sweet looking car you have there

I'd like to see it go across Mecum or Barrett-Jackson auctions.

UNIQUE MIRADA!glad that you save it.

I've had my fill with Mopar but I have to admit that is one awesome car

I'll take it what do you want for it I put a 6.4 hemi in it with 5speed

It actually looks better than the factory one the factory one looks too stock

Nice smooth bumper on the 300!

All tires are tubeless

☀️ Promo>SM!!!

The production car suck

Thanks for the video!
