Gateway Classic Cars of Chicago is proud to present to you, the 1986 Dodge 600. Step back into the mid-1980s with this remarkably preserved 1986 Dodge 600 Convertible. With only 39,081 miles on the odometer, this "survivor" is a rare example of Chrysler's E-Body platform, offering a unique blend of American drop-top luxury and turbocharged performance.
Turbocharged Performance & Drivetrain
While most K-car derivatives were economy-focused, this Dodge 600 features the sought-after 2.2L I4 Turbo engine. Delivering a spirited 146 horsepower, this boosted powerplant transformed the 600 into a "European-bred" sport sedan competitor. Paired with a smooth 3-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel-drive architecture, this convertible offers a nimble and responsive driving experience that remains surprisingly modern.
Classic 80s Aesthetic
Finished in a timeless Off-White exterior with a matching power-folding convertible top, this 600 radiates understated elegance. The interior is a masterclass in 80s ergonomics, featuring plush Red/Burgundy vinyl seating that remains in excellent condition. The dashboard layout is clean and functional, retaining all the period-correct switchgear and the classic woodgrain-style accents that defined the upscale Dodge trims of the era.
Chassis & Handling
Riding on factory-correct 15-inch cast aluminum wheels wrapped in 195/60R15 tires, the car maintains its original stance and ride quality. The suspension-featuring independent MacPherson struts up front and a trailing arm rigid axle in the rear-was tuned to provide a balance of comfort for cruising and stability for spirited drives. Power brakes (front disc/rear drum) and power rack-and-pinion steering ensure that navigating modern traffic is effortless.
Collector's Appeal
Finding a Dodge 600 is difficult; finding a Turbo Convertible with under 40,000 miles is nearly impossible. This vehicle is perfect for the enthusiast who appreciates the "Radwood" era or the collector looking for a low-maintenance, high-visibility classic that stands out from the sea of Mustangs and Camaros at the local car show.
