The Price is Right Cars: Dodge Chrysler Plymouth of the 1980s

[@michaelswink5606]

Only Johnny Olson could make a Dodge Omni sound like the car of your dreams.

[@4HBirtcher]

Considering it’s only one of only two episodes this show features a Chrysler GLH (Dodge Omni or Plymouth Horizon)!

[@suespony]

I had a 1985 Dodge Daytona I bought brand new, turbo, loved that car, wish I still had it

[@amazingjason455]

The contestants were so well dressed and attractive.

[@smartkid1201]

The faces of the younger contestants when they see they have the chance to win a station wagon!😂😂😂

[@dougfisher1813]

You could get those wagons with a turbo and 5 speed manual back then. Still, ehh.

[@michaelcrockette8694]

wonder if any of these fine machines are still functioning.🤔

[@charlesharmon4926]

Very few. They’re Chryslers.

[@spg5658]

Mopar rules, as usual! 👍🇺🇸👍

[@lanitaharnack6916]

i had a 1987 dodge charger love that car also had a Chrysler 5th ave fr the 1980s another great car 🖒

[@colbybrown4085]

Thank you! Love the videos and work ♥️

[@cmyFUfinger]

Was so in love with Holly back then

[@freeskier175]

Holly is a fox

[@jondoes7836]

Holly helped me get thru puberty back in the day if you know what I mean. 😊

[@freeskier175]

@@jondoes7836 these holly reruns can help with ED too.

[@thedocofgreen2018]

Fyi that car could fucking fly if it was the turbo version. The rims say it was, I didn't hear it. And if it was a standard it was even faster. Those things would cook from 35 to 100 in like 2 seconds. You could always smell the oil cooking, seeing people get excited for those base models is hilarious. That turbo Daytona was one of the most fun I've ever had driving a car and I've driven alot of cars, the front wheel snap and pull you would get is buts and the Shelby charger was so much fun, people have no clue how awesome these cars were in the 80s. Just so much better then they have now.

[@4HBirtcher]

3:25 & 8:44 The only time The Price Is Right offered a contestant a Chrysler GLH (Dodge Omni or Plymouth Horizon)!

[@bennetfox]

GLH stands for Goes Like Hell!! Carol Shelby came up with the term. Chrysler also had the GLHS which stands for Goes Like Hell Some More.

[@dakotareeves3939]

From the American TV show "The Price is Right" on CBS, here's a montage of the many Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth automobiles in the '80s. 🇺🇲 🇺🇲

[@johnjones393]

"You could win a new K-Car!" This video is a reminder of just how dark the 80s were for Chrysler. I do like that Diplomat though.

[@mypronouniswtf5559]

K cars were well build nice driving cars reliable too...Remember Toyota/Honda/Nissan/VW/Ford/GM small cars were uglier than the K car! I worked at a dealer starting in the late 80's and drove every type of 1980's car and the K cars were really comfortable good driving cars..A family member had a 1986 Aries LE 2 door the 2 doors looked pretty good for the era and that car was driven until 2001 and they had over 300,000 miles..The thing with older cars until the early 1990's they had a 5 digit odometer,meaning after 99,999 they went back to 00,000 so you never knew the mileage unless it was verified by accurate up to date paperwork! The ugliest cars were the Toyota Cressida, Corolla and Honda Accord/Civic of the 80's those gave me an odd feeling looking at them,my stomach actually turned.

[@moonbeamskies3346]

The Diplomat was the best. The Daytonas and minivans were also cool.

[@mikeadcock1592]

​@@mypronouniswtf5559I remember when I was a teenager, every rural mail carrier drove a Dodge Aries or a Plymouth Reliant. Even if there was really nothing exciting about them, they were reliable, economical transportation. My parents had a couple of them, lasted a very long time.

[@musical_mortgage_guy]

The k-car led to the Daytona Turbo which got Dodge back into the performance game again. And Shelby helped with them too don’t forget.

[@pmafterdark]

Really loved seeing this. The silver Daytona turbo at 3:00 is almost exactly like the one I bought back in 84' except it was a different color interior. Can't believe it's been 40 years already. It was a great car except no Dian in the front seat 😄

[@GabrielSilva-xc5lj]

I remember about a red 85' Chrysler LeBaron Convertible offered in the Kennedy' Nighttime Price is Right! I think that car would appear here, but, this is another awesome video delivered by you!

[@MyRumplestiltskin]

Notice how the one thing common in these vehicles, “California Emissions”.

[@martinliehs2513]

Kind of an odd selling feature. Given that the show was filmed in California, it wasn't really an option.

[@bennetfox]

I want the Chrysler New Yorker with the 8-track player in it!!!

[@James-Noris]

I'd take the Diplomat.

[@Kevin-tn1hp]

Al Bundy would have loved to win any of these autos. He'd still have to push it home tho hahaha

[@jelanimclean6326]

Classic Cars! 🚗

[@Dr.JohnnyFever]

I owned a dodge daytona Shelby z turbo. Had it for years. It went to the junk yard with 439,000 miles on the odometer

[@rmproute66]

The K Car Parade!

[@jeffbryan721]

The Janice lookalike contestant might win a station wagon

[@williambone5678]

This was fun! Do you have a Chevy (not just Vega) collection?

[@carsnstuff1344]

I have a Chevy truck collection planned.

[@kennethanway7979]

TPIR at its peak!

[@landyachtfan79]

5:08.....................A little bit of trivia........1985 was the only year of the Aries'/Reliant's redesign that offered the 2.6-liter engine. It would be replaced by the Chrysler-built 2.5 for '86. Johnny never mentioned the EVA on either of the Dodge 600 ES's at 1:42 & 2:19

[@mypronouniswtf5559]

They had the 2.6 starting in 1981 along with the reliable 2.2 Chrysler,true 1986 the reliable Chrysler 2.5 replaced the unreliable,problematic Mitsubishi 2.6. I worked at a Chrysler dealer and all the 2.6's smoked and had major issues like the Mitsubishi 3.0 V6 they used,those gave Chrysler a bad name,but if you knew you knew what to avoid!

[@davepane7306]

Forget all three of those and give me the 2.2T. Spool-up that whistle as you take the ramp to the highway.

[@derrickjackson6737]

Mopar classic

[@davepane7306]

They got really close on a couple cars but I was hoping to see the elusive '86 600 ES turbo convertible.

[@texavery711]

A new car!!!!🤓🤓

[@99sentcoins]

I owned a Charger Shelby back in the 90s. Should have kept it. Mine had the 2.5L Hemi ~ 5 speed ~ Sunroof. Very rare car then & even more so today.

[@SimirJohnson]

Id take Janice over a Chrysler product any day.

[@jondoes7836]

If take Holly. 😛😛😛

[@SimirJohnson]

@@jondoes7836 LOL - Holly is a good choice as well. For that matter, Id even take Bob over the Chrysler

[@43hockey]

I think it was 84 or 85 that my gr 9 French teacher won a Daytona in the showcase. Didn't see that clip in the video.

[@pl5624]

A lot of them were manual transmission.

[@jasvvolo]

OH THAT VANITY MIRROR!! Imagine that a side view Mirror is an option. That goes to show you what a sHIT box they are.

[@4HBirtcher]

6:49 How many episodes featured a Chrysler GTS (Chrysler LeBaron or Dodge Lancer or Plymouth Sundance)

[@Doc1855]

I had a Dodge 600ES turbo. It ran Great to 60k miles and then it started blowing head gaskets every 10K miles (at $2K) to replace. THANKS DODGE for using MITSUBISHI for your engines

[@danielknepper6884]

Every Dodge 2.2 blew head gaskets😅

[@99sentcoins]

My 2.2s all ran great. Never had a gasket problem with them and I owned at least a dozen of them. In fact, I prefer the 2.2 over the 2.7 & 3.7 today.

[@pmafterdark]

@@danielknepper6884 Not true at all. I had one new in 84' plus others over the decades. My 87' Daytona Shelby z did finally blow a head gasket but that was with over 250K on it with no major engine, tranny or drivetrain problems up till then.

[@0159ralph]

And it can be all yours with a 80 horsepower engine if the price is right !!!!

[@jondoes7836]

Holly was hott in those days. 😛😛😛

[@brianmohan9303]

So many without A/C!

[@James-Noris]

Price is Right would never spring for AC or an automatic transmission 😀

[@thomassargent6684]

Door locks were an option on the Chryslers?

[@pmafterdark]

Most cars did back then. This was the 80's and you didn't get the laundry list of power features standard like people are used to today.

[@pennywise8182]

Too bad Chrysler mostly donated front wheel drive K-car derivatives to give away.....They should've had more rear wheel drive cars to give away like the Cordoba,Mirada,5th Avenue,and the ultimate Chrysler luxury car the Imperial......But they didn't have anything in the K-cars so they didn't have anything to lose.😭😭😭

[@Doc1855]

Big deal… a Chrysler product. I’d take the money and buy a Toyota and put the rest into savings

[@moonbeamskies3346]

But the Chryslers are more fun.

[@Doc1855]

[@blevins6584mopar]

Ever see any of these cars on the road today ❓ 2024 yeah me neither 🫣

[@pmafterdark]

Right. And how many of any 80's cars do you still see on the road today?
