Yes You Should Buy My 1987 Chrysler Fifth Avenue!

Click to Subscribe! ► goo.gl/x9qFdW
I’ve owned this fine 1987 Chrysler Fifth Avenue for just over a year. I’ve had quite a few adventures with this vehicle, but it has just sat for the last 6 months. I’ve been trying to sell this Fifth Avenue for quite a while with absolutely no luck. These M body Chryslers have been junked and crushed on a daily basis, and there aren’t that many more left. Certainly there has to be a mega Fifth Avenue fan that wants to save this golden chariot? Come join me as I take the car on a cruise and rediscover what this 80s high end Chrysler had to offer.

Who wouldn't want to drive certified BA Mike Ehrmantraut's car? If I wasn't already driving a 2000's Crown Vic, by this generation arguably the most refined of the road boats, I would totally be all over this.

[@andrewhopkins1010]

I have a 2008 Crown Vic and I love it

[@codybrookehanson2346]

I had a 1986 that I bought for $400. Drove it for 6 months, sold it to a buddy for $500 and then a year later bought it back for $500. Then drove it for another year. I actually really loved this car. It was super straight and super slow. My wife hated it. I Should have never sold it. Very cool.

These were one of the BEST AMERICAN RIDES!

[@johnmaki3046]

These were GREAT CARS!

[@gwiz3059]

Imagine getting it Hell Cat swapped with drive train.🤔I have a 1989 thinking about getting it restored probably just a rebuilt 318 or 340 in the engine bay tho of course with suspension/drivetrain upgrades.

[@thepoliticalmechanic2691]

the 318 cu. in. motor is bullet proof, the 3 speed auto torqueflight trans is cheap and easy to work on. I love these cars

[@user-tb7rn1il3q]

No constant shifting like modern 6-10 speeds

[@johnmaki3046]

Chrysler kept this GREAT "combo" for DECADES, A VERY WISE CHOICE! I have owned MANY cars in my 66 years, but these "318/Torqueflight" MoPars were BEST! The MOST DEPENDABLE, REALLY NICE DAY-TO-DAY VEHICLES!

[@MicklowFilms]

No, he’ll destroy it somehow…

[@OsbornTramain]

What's unique about this 5th Avenue is that it's from 1987 which was the first model year where the car was actually built by AMC. Before Chrysler aquired AMC, Chrysler entered into a manufacturing agreement in 1986, .....then the following year, Chrysler aquired AMC. This was sort of the bridge that convinced themselves to buy AMC. They needed production capacity and they also realized AMC was a very good take over candidate. So this is a Kenosha Built by AMC Chrysler before Chrysler bought AMC! it's very unique!

[@sess5206]

That's wrong. It's a Volare/Aspen that was dressed up to be a luxury version. The Volare/Aspen nearly put Chrysler out of business.

[@johnrichards8695]

That is a very beautiful car! I hope someone who can appreciate it buys it and cherishes it forever,that gold color is amazing!

[@BoltofTalons]

I knew a guy with one in the similar shape as my Delta 88. He told his aunt that he didn't want to scrap it, that he wanted to daily drive it, and it still works today. If I ever get mine to work, I am going to daily it. The fuel efficiency from the 3800 pre series is very great, and EPA approved.

[@johnmaki3046]

If your Delta is a "350 Rocket", IT HAS GREAT POTENTIAL! Otherwise, I prefer the "Good Ol'" MoPar "318 and torqueflight" over ANYTHING G.M. or Ford in that era!

[@FaberBollonius]

i would so buy it! but i'm in germany...and i'm broke. but one day, I will import one of these beauties! that's my favorite car design ever. this is whta I car has to look like for me. can't stand all these modern organic curvy things.

I got an 86 fifth avenue that my grandpa bought new and has been sitting since 2011 that I’ve been spending the last 6 months working on it to get it road worthy. Very nice car and you’re absolutely right about the seats lmao

[@chrislemaster2695]

I had a two tone Red/Silver one with 80k miles and mine was in mint condition and I paid 2300 for mine. Mine had everything on it. I hit a deer with it and had it full coverage and the insurance gave me 4500 for it.

[@trevorcarson7659]

I paid 300$ for mine when I was in high school about 5 years ago it was absolutely mint it was silver with blue interior used to stay up wayyy to late and just go sleep in the parking lot at school because the seats where 10,000% comfortable enough to do so lol so I'll agree with you I have owned like 5 of these since

Should be in the Walter P. Chrysler Museum if no takers, this way still be preserved...just a thought.

[@doba78]

walter p. chrysler museum is no longer

[@ProudDad1976]

That is a great thought, I live in Royal Oak MI and I worked to install the dino bays in the Chrysler Tech Center. For those who do not know the museum is on the same property as CTC and the very nice test track. When Daimler Benz bought and gutted Chrysler Benz sold the tech building and everything in it but because of a very logical law reversed the sale. The law states you must work in the benefit to the company and there was no way of proving this was but somehow it was fine to drain the retirement accounts for all the management, well just those who did not agree with fleecing Chrysler.

[@thomasmuncey6639]

Do you still have the 5th Avenue and where are you located at ?I live in Ohio and what are you asking for it?Let me know.

[@maggiekoch9348]

If I were closer, I'd pay you for it. I love older sedans, actually my first bought outright car was a 1991 New Yorker, so this style really feels cozy and reliable to me. I hope it finds a good home.

[@johnmaki3046]

I KNOW you sold this! A TRULY GREAT RIDE!

[@Mysticfateee]

I love the look of the car... I think it might be because it reminds me of some of the cars from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City so it's giving me a nostalgia feeling 😅

Back in the 90s a good friend of my mom's and myself would always go to the casino. He always had me drive his Fifth Avenue, White with maroon leather it was so much fun to drive and so cushy. I loved that car!!!!

[@simonprickett]

I had that with my NA 95 Miata a couple years back - blew a tire then realized the spare was pretty questionable as it was so old and never used. Got me home but I got a new spare as well as replacing the blown regular one in the end.

[@rc3140]

I asked a coworker when was the last time he got in his car and really took in what he was doing and what it felt like like to drive without being mindless of his car. He couldn’t give me an answer. Thanks for sharing another fabulous show 🍺☕️🥓🍩🥓☕️🍺cheers mate.

I drove a '68 300 in the 2000s, a real full size Chrysler. Your car is about as big as my '72 Dart, with a 318. I had the cable mirror on the '68 and my '65 Park Lane. It's a great car, just showing some legitimate age. New rubber! It's not malaise, it's morning in America (Reagan era).

[@junkiejackflash]

I'm 22 and just bought an 88 Fifth Ave for $1500. I absolutely love it. Rides like a cloud, looks good as hell, and the 318 is amazing. I've never been a big car guy, but buying this has instilled some inspiration in me. I just bought one but I'd love another. I can't believe how much I fell in love with mine, and it's only been a week.

[@junkiejackflash]

Luckily my AC, cig lighter, all but one power window all work, almost all of the trim and chrome is fine, the antenna still extends, and just a few spots in the paint.

I am one of the people who love this car! If it were 1999 instead of 2019 I would want it as a daily driver. But now it's not practical for someone like me who isn't mechanically skilled. Unfortunately the guys who love fixing cars usually go for Mustangs, Camaros, old SUVs, pickup trucks, etc.

[@JoshTree6982]

Ok, so I'm the Johnny come lately of the group. I know it's been over two weeks, but I'm also one of the 6 people in the world that would love this car. Right after High School, I bought my first car from my great uncle (who was superintendent of the school I went to) a silver on chrome with a maroon interior 1987 Chrysler fifth avenue. It had 199,999 miles when I went to pick it up in 2000. I drove the wheels off of that thing, blew the stock engine after 50k miles, put a 360 out of a Ramcharger in it and drove it another 50,000 miles until one day a kid cut my brake lines, filled the tank with sugar and plugged my key holes with toothpicks and super glue (salty mf). It sat behind my family's garage for another five years until my father made me scrap it. I seriously miss that car. I have an opportunity to buy a white one locally for $650. I've been watching your videos for a while but somehow missed this one. If you'll take what I'm going to pay this guy, I'll fly to California, drive it back to Wisconsin and record the whole thing for your youtube channel. That's the best I can do, it'll be $350 for the plane ticket, and another $600-$700 in gas to drive it back.
