SCRAPPED?! Plymouth Sundance! 

Such a beautifu...good looki...such a car.

I had a 92 Sundance. 2 door, 5 speed. My mom bought it new, and we had it until probably 2002. Michigan winter finally killed it after 200,000 miles

That is the kind of car I would put a ten thousand dollar stereo system in.

What a wasteful society, who scraps something with this milage? loose the ricer pipe and you'd be good

This was a P car. The K car was the Aries/Reliant.

Man that needs saved. Iv always had a soft spot for these early 90s era Chrysler cars..And i dont know why.

I actually bought a brand new 1989 Sundance 2.5 turbo RS auto. It was black cherry paint with gun metal dark gray on the bottom portion. It had a burgundy cloth interior. It was a beautiful car, but the build quality was horrendous and more squeaks and rattles than you'd dare imagine. I used a lot of silicone glue to quiet the thing down. For its time it was a very fast little car. I managed to put about 80k miles on it. It was still very pretty and strong and made someone else a great car.

Shit, that thing is CLEAN! if I lived nearby and had the cash I'd buy it just to keep it from being crushed out!

Pretty good little cars! Used to work for a pharmacy and we went all over North and West Texas with a 93 Dodge Shadow (same thing). I think the engine finally died at around 350k! Body was still in great shape. It was a blue two door. Ran like a sewing machine!

Somebody needs to get RegularCarReviews to buy this lol

"This..........car" is the best description of this motor car

Owned a 5 speed shadow as my first car. Now I have a 94 Sundance (last model year) automatic. It’s my daily, my EJ1 is obviously my fun car.

I am one of those people that buy a $500-$900 car and drive it until it dies :) they usually go for multiple years, i end up selling them at that point for exactly what i paid for them or more.

This car always holds a special place in my heart. My late mother drove a Black Cherry '92 Sundance America. She had gotten it brand new about 9 months before I was born, and it ran like a champ until I think I was almost 13 or 14 years old (I'm 26 now). The steering column fell apart and we didn't have the money or a handyman to repair it so it pretty much got junked. Despite being a kid I remember this car needed very little maintenence and was very dependable! It's a shame because these cars are becoming harder to find through the years.

My first car was a maroon 1986 Plymouth Turismo. I owned it from 1995-1998, and it was no Chick Magnet but it ran forever well over 100K that I put on it. I remember that I went through 3 set sets of outside door handles, because of the cheap ass plastic they kept breaking off during the freezing weather. I learned how to climb through the hatchback, because both door handles had broken off. At the time I was so glad to get rid of it, because I had just bought a Pontiac Formula. Looking back I actually miss that old Plymouth.

93 hp of Fury. Last decent thing Chrysler made!

I love how your videos are usually short but when you see a good K car BAM a 21 minute long video... on a Plymouth Sundance 😂. GOLDEN

I hope someone will buy and take it to cars and coffee!

Trivia points; the instrument panel backlighting was an aqua blue, there is an illuminated ring around the ignition switch, and the car is actually a "Notchback" (hatchback that is styled like a coupe/sedan), the rear seats fold nearly flat I had an '92 Dodge Shadow, I loved that little car, utterly reliable if that was a manual, i'd have been tempted, but no bloody automatics for me...

Fantastic save! These k cars are really unappreciated. Love these little things. Hate to see a wonderful example go to waste. Save the k cars! Chrysler won't be around much longer at this rate lol

Why do people give you thumbs down ? If they don't like what your doing they don't have to watch. Keep up the great videos. They are my favorite ones I always watch first

Delicious interior. Door panel design is totally gorgeous.

I had a Sundance with the 5 speed transmission,. I drove that car until the wheels fell off and it never broke down... A lot of memories 🙂

Man this brings back some memories because the last time I saw one of these cars was back around 92-94 when our next door neighbor at the apartment we lived in brought home a 2 door version of this car..I believe it was a 94 Plymouth Duster coupe or could have been a 92 or 93 model but this was between 92-94 when they got it...and it was the neatest car I ever saw because it was like a turquoise color with the duster logos down the side and even though my memory is foggy I still remember that little coupe and how neat it was..I had not seen one since then so i guess they are all but fading away!? anyways still not sure if it was a Dodge,Plymouth or Chrysler but I believe it was a Plymouth Duster and I know it was a coupe...either way it is totally cool to see this video because it brings back some good memories of back in the days when cars was cool! Thanks for taking me down memory lane!

“Smoker teeth yellow varnish” 😂

My mom had a two door Sundance when I was growing up. It was ultimately got donated to Goodwill when it overheated and the head got warped.

That's the cleanest Sundance I've seen. You scored big time with this one!

needs to be saved. not many k cars left AFAIK....

Man, next to the wagoneer, this has to be one of the coolest in the yard

Them 2.2L and 2.5L K engines where very durable

A great cheap car for a young person for their first car.

This car is totally worth 500 bucks! Runs and drives, everything seems to work! I would definitely get that valve cover gasket replaced. I'd also check to see if its got a head gasket issue too since it does seem to be puffing some white smoke. Might be some coolant getting into the oil.

Practical, sensible, logical - "plain jane" , good gas mileage - love it. Goes to point A & back for little cost. You have to clean it up and resell it Jay - you have too!

The reason the fuel cap is where it is because of where the exhaust outlet is so if the exhaust exits left then fuel filler on the right etc all for safety

Brings back memories. I had an 88 LeBaron GTS hatchback... Loved that car... Super reliable, comfortable seats... Could drive it all day long, I miss it. :(

Just amazes me what people scrap today...we recently scrapped 2 1995 Dodge Aries cars and a 1993 Plymouth Acclaim. Still have the 88 k Car but needs some wiring work. Great little cars!

A snail went into a Chrysler dealer and said " I will buy a K car under 2 conditions" What conditions? Ask the dealer. The snail responded. Condition number 1 is I want a 440 hemi with a 4 speed and 513 rear. Ok, said the dealer. The snail continued, condition 2 is I want the K emblem removed and a S emblem installed. The dealer looked puzzled and said to the snail; I understand the running gear upgrades but why replace the K with a S? The snail replied, So when I go flying down the road people will say "DAMN LOOK AT THAT ' S CAR GO!'"

That little Sundance is in great shape. I had two Dodge Shadow's a 1990 red one and a 1993 Shadow ES in teal. I loved those cars. I hauled all kinds of stuff in them including drywall and plywood.

Omg "god awful grey" very fitting lol

When I first watched this video almost a couple of years ago, it got me really liking older chryslers (especially the sundance)

This brings back some memories,my Mom got a used 1992 Dodge Spirit in I think...'97? The car was tan,all season thin whitewalls, plastic hubcaps,column shift auto and a brown interior, I know when it wasn't road worthy anymore because I kept the plates,sticker dated May 2007,the reason it went off the road is because the block cracked,but still,fond memories of the same sort of interior,thanks for the video!

Definitely right about a MASSIVE fuel gauge. That thing is ridiculous. 😂

My first car was a 1993 Sundance 4door my grandmother left me when she died and she had owned it since it was new so I grew up in these cars and the caravans, love this, sadly it was too rusty to pass inspection and we scrapped it in 2016.

I wanted one of these back in the day that was a 2 door turbo , that car was quick !! Black and gold 5 spd turbo . These are good little gas sippers

The Sundance/Shadow was the unofficial car of Delaware teen drivers for the longest time and I've always wanted one. Hopefully this one found a good home.

Wow! We literally just sold ours this weekend!! Such a rare car I never thought I'd see another one again!!

Yall selling this one? It certainly needs saving and put back on the road. Its such a cool car, ive always liked them too.

I owned a '91 Sundance, bought it with about 12k miles on it. Basic transportation with automatic and AC. The test drive revealed an annoying rattle in the dash. The dealership claimed they fixed it, but they never really did. Bought an extended warranty for it, which wasn't a bad idea since the AC needed repair every few years. Blew its head gasket at about 105k. Valve cover gasket needed service a couple times. Had it rustproofed but the bottom inside door panels developed rust anyway. Sold it after 13 years of ownership with about 120k on it.

I had an 87 Plymouth Sundance 2 door hatchback and I loved that little car so I was taking offense to you ragging on that one, mine broke the timing belt one night and the next morning we put a new one on and drove it home.

That white smoke tells the story by itself🤣🤣 You can see that the radiator hoses had been recently replaced due to overheating along with the radiator and thermostat. It's still in remarkable condition for it's age however other than the head being warped. It's going to need a full head overhaul to put it back on the road, and most people looking at a car like this to drive can't afford to pay the bill to fix it right. So that's why it's in a salvage yard

Hi . I rented a 1994 Plymouth Sundance to drive to Janet Jackson Janet shown in Charlotte NC in 1994 . Very good performance. I enjoyed the Plymouth Sundance .

My parents had one of these back in the early 90s. Thanks for posting this. Like a time-capsule back to my childhood. But yeah, why would anyone scrap this? Looks like it's running fine. I personally could live with the cosmetic issues. I'd drive this.

Hell yeah a work car or a car for a Truck driver to go back and forth to the Truck yard. Good first car for a teenager learning how to drive.

And that Kenwood Radio...nice touch

Nice to get regular video Jay....keep Bringing us the content

YO my grandma had that same car lmao, bringing back memories thankyou!

The Dodge Shadow Plymouth Sundance were not K cars. They were partially designed by Mitsubishi 4 Chrysler in the late 1980s and represented the last decent small car offered by the Chrysler Corp.

My grandmother had one of these in a bold, yet light-ish, green.

My family had one of these while I was growing up. It lasted 20 years, but was so rusted through because we live in Northern Illinois that we had to get rid of it. Good car.

That car is in great condition, too great to be sitting in a junkyard, I hope it gets saved, especially with 98k original miles, two months ago, we finally had to scrap our 1992 Buick Century after the steering column was torn up by vandals, it had around 98k-99k miles on it when we bought it back in 2011, and it had about 130k-135k when it was scrapped, which some people consider low for a 1992 model vehicle, we were all sad to see her go, but at least she went under her own power. :'(

I had a 2 door 87 Sundance my first car, plastic passenger window, moldy leaky trunk, busted muffler and a radio that wasn’t ment for the car and I made fit cutting the dash up and got my first bit of nooky in it. It all came flooding back to me when I saw the video title.

This was the first car my dad got when he first came to America, he got it for $200 back in 2002. He took me driving in it a lot when I was 1 and having trouble sleeping, and would drive me in it until I fell asleep.

I had a 91' dodge shadow. That car took me everywhere no problem. Keep it.

You are so right about the pastel flat colors of cars nowadays. I agree completely

Cars with a single exhaust just about always have the fuel filler on the opposite side from the exhaust. The 60s-70s Dart, very much the precursor to the Sundance, was a rare exception.

That '91 Sundance is a decent auction flipper! If I were you, I would clean it up, paint the bumpers, replace the VC gasket and front shocks, fix the radio and AC, remount the missing dash piece, and you may double your estimated flip price. The gas cap is located on the passenger side so that you can put a gallon of gas in it away from the road without becoming roadkill if someone sideswipes the driver's side. My sister had a '94 Sundance that she drove up to 200k before she junked it. BTW, I posted an ode to you on Corvette Ben's "Will It Run? 1953 Oldsmobile part 12" video comments.

Very clean seats, almost like new, amazing.

Oh the nostalgia, I had a 1990 and drove the heck out of it. It was a good little turd box.

This is a great video thank you Jay. What kind of camera do you use for the videos and how easy is it to upload to RU-vid?

My mom used to drive a maroon colored one. She loved it

Had two of them both shadow and Sundance loved them both both cars were run litterly to the ground loved them thanks for the throwback 👍

Ahhh! The dancing letters on the SuNdAnCe (missing here) always make me smile 👌

We had one of these; I got it in high school and then passed it onto my brother. It went through 6 years and 75K miles of two teenage boys and in all that time we had just two problems with it; the paint started chipping off and the eject button on the CD player crapped out. That's it. We might even still have it if my idiot brother hadn't crashed it into a guard rail - don't worry, he walked away without a scratch. Although when my dad got ahold of him...

Be careful on that engine. I had two and both the bolts on the water pump pulley came loose. You can guess what happened with the water pump not spinning correctly. So be sure to check the pulleys and belts periodically. The shadow with 2.5 was much nicer than the Sundance with 2.2 turbo. I enjoyed driving the heck out of both. Unfortunately the valve cover gasket is separate rubber and cork pieces. Where the pieces come together it will leak. Some permatex spray gasket cement helps. Anything else will just squeeze out when assembled. Cheers and nice ride. 😊

Such memories I had a 92 Dodge Shadow ES Sport coupe with the 3.0 v6 that car was a beast

My brother bought a 1984 Aries wagon new. At the time, U thought, are you crazy! I expected it to be junk. It was not! He doled it out great abuse. I loved driving it . I thought of it as an appliance. It had a AM digital radio! That car , far exceeded my expectations!

Man, I'd buy that car in a heartbeat. Those cars were nowhere near as bad as (way too many) people made them out to be. They are actually very reliable and super easy to work on, and parts are dirt cheap. With routine maintenance they can easily get 300,000 miles when properly taken care of. I still see the odd one putting around...and that's here in Canada where the friggin' road salt eats cars way before they die. If this car was posted near me, I'd buy it no questions asked. Sold! 😁

That odometer probably quit working years ago, notice how the trip is all zeros? That means someone reset it and because the gears inside are broken, it quit counting. Super common issue on K cars.

I kind of think these disposable cars that were everywhere back in the day are kind of cool to own now.

thanks for making this video. it really takes me back. my first car was a 90 sundance. i had forgotten about that ping noise when you close the hood. mine finally died when a dry rotted fuel line started a fire. it was a piece of crap but i still miss it.

I really wish I could come down and buy it. I love these old boxy cars

I love the looks of this thing with that 90s econobox aesthetic

OLD SCHOOL: Down To The Stereo.. Love It!!

Dodge shadow was the only car i would drive I'm not old but i know someone that had one they are comfortable

My mom had a turquoise 1994 Plymouth Sundance. It was a great car. I wish I could get this one... There aren't many of these left that I know about Jay...

I need one of these. I’d get the ac fixed in her and she’d be a good daily driver.

My neighbor had one of those. She bought it new and drove it for years and years.

About 2 years ago, back when I was within my first year of using Craigslist, I found a lot of Plymouth Sundances and Pontiac Sunbirds for $300-$800, and because of that, and that I really like 1980s and 1990s cars that not many other people like, I have wanted one since then. Most of the Sunbirds I found were white coupes, and one Sunbird I remember was a red convertible that was $300.

The white smoke out the tailpipe might be the headgasket going out, in typical Chrysler 2.2L fashion. That might explain why no one could sell it and it wound up in the scrapyard.

I actually seen an older man driving a burgandy Sundance a couple weeks ago, I was amazed.

Awesome! I'd rock that car.

You got to love it

that's so cool! Thats the kind of daily driver that you just change the oil and it'll go!

I'd drive it. I had a stick 2-door Sundance America like this one, and liked it. I paid $500 back in '98 and drove the "Faded Apple" for years.

That's a keeper!!!😃

If Grand Tour comes back to the USA, this should be the car James, Richard, or Jeremy have to drive if their "cool" beater breaks down. That would be a good slice of humble pie lol.

These K cars have become a really car with the teens up to the mid 20 somethings as JMD style builds out here in the Southwest and West. I live in the Southwest Triangle (Northwest Arizona, Southern Nevada, Southeast California) and they are ALL over out here and even have a couple of clubs that just for these cars.

These are still nicely styled cars. The Dodge ES versions with the turbo were pretty quick.

I always kinda wanted one of those in a coupe. The sport model in dark green with gold trim.

Does the Vin start with a 1, or 3? 1 means it was made in Sterling heights Michigan, 3 means it was built in Toluca Mexico.
