Do you know what a Mirada is? If you do, I’ll bet on it that you own a
Dodge Mirada. More often than not, I will win on the bet, as only the
few owners of a Dodge Mirada know that the Mirada is actually a
vehicle. Most Dodge Mirada owners even finds difficulty in getting
replacement and performance Dodge Mirada parts, for often, what they
get from their local auto parts sources is a question that says: “What
is a Mirada?”
The Dodge Mir, what they get from their local auto parts sources is a question
that says: “What is a Mirada?”
ada is a mid-size vehicle introduced by Dodge in 1980 and was sold
through the 1983 model year. It replaced the Dodge Magnum in the
Chrysler vehicle line-up, thus ending the muscle car style period for
the Dodge division. The Dodge Mirada was a rear-wheel drive, two-door
hardtop coupe. Its chassis was based on the Chrysler J body platform
and was closely similar to other Chrysler J body cars like the Chrysler
Imperial and the Chrysler Cordoba.
When it was introduced in 1980, the Dodge Mirada was available
with three engine options. An 85-hp Slant Six engine was common, but it
was also sold with engine options such as the 130-hp 318 V8 engine and
the 150-hp 360 V8 engine. On later production models, however, most of
these engines were replaced with a carbureted 360s.
Just like its predecessor, the Dodge Magnum, the Dodge Mirada
did not become popular and also didn’t sell well. This probably is the
main reason why the Dodge Mirada was sold only for four model years.
And for its entire four year run, only about 5,120 Dodge Mirada
vehicles were manufactured and sold, well below the regular numbers
usually manufactured by any auto manufacturing company. No wonder, only
a few people today knows what the Mirada is.
For an unknown vehicle nameplate, finding Dodge Mirada parts
would surely be a headache. Rarely can you find any Dodge Magnum part
from your local vehicle parts source, unless your source is a major
dealer and have a wide network of auto parts manufacturers. However,
you can find a number of websites through the Net that offers these
products, although finding one is still not as easy as finding auto
parts for other vehicle names.
