Has a wreath around the crest on the trunk, so not a SdV. The front fender badges are usually an early 80s thing, like 1982-83.

If it's the one I transferred from Leipzig in May 1995, then it is a 1983... :think:

Not very accurate for a GDR scene...

Grille looks like a 1981, which means this might be one of the infamous V8-6-4 engined versions. Infamous, not in a good way!

why is it so infamous ?


I know of the shitthy Northstars engines or the old V8 diesels but why this ?

*Argh* It's not the one - I made it all the way home without complications back then, as it wasn't a V8-6-4! Yeah, 1981 looks fine.

was a cylinder-deactivation engine, set to either work as a 8, a 6 or a 4 cylinder
but didn't really work in either ways , it was about as reliable as a buried solar panel ;)

I don't know about Chrysler, but I believe Ford has something similar now for the F-150

yep Chrysler used this thing too but it more recent time

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-Displacement_System


Quote , it deactivates four of the V8's cylinders when the throttle is closed or at steady speeds.

No, Ford does not currently (nor have they ever) use a cylinder deactivation system, but both GM and Chrysler still do.

Oh yes, GM was building some real hot garbage in the 80s and 90s. :lol:
