Stop in for a cup of coffee

I have a question. The Dodge Diplomats, from late 1970ties and out in the 1980ties, before the injection came, was it good cars ? Anyone have any experience with that. Ok, I hear a lot of people say that American cars in the late 70ties and 80ties in general was not very good cars, but were they as bad as the reputation was ? And, I guess what I am looking for is, was Dodge Diplomats any worse than the GM and Ford's from those years. I must admit I kind of like that style from back then.

Good stuff. Look at all the cop cars made out of those. Late 80's 318's were roller cam engines with #302 casting heads and 904 transmissions with lock up converters.
