      Thank you for the suggestion! You were absolutely right that the R body was missing from our guide. We have updated the article to include the R body platform and its associated models to make the resource more complete. We appreciate you taking the time to point it out and helping us improve our tech content for the Mopar community.

    Your missing 3 m body cars 1980-1983
    Dodge Mirada, Chrysler Cordoba, and Chrysler Imperial

      Good catch on the Mirada Kyle. You’re absolutely right that it belongs on the M-body list, and I’ve added it.

      For clarity, the Cordoba and Imperial you mentioned are part of Chrysler’s J-body platform rather than M-body, which is why they’re listed separately on the page.

      Appreciate you pointing that out. It helped make the breakdown more complete and accurate.
