Encyclopedia : D : DO : DOD : Dodge 400
The Dodge 400 was Dodge's second K-car in the early 1980s. It was similar to the Chrysler LeBaron of the same era. The 400 was introduced in 1982, but the Dodge 400 was replaced by the midsize Dodge 600 just one year later.
1982
The 400 was Dodge's new, more luxurious version of the Aries. The 400 was available in both 2-door and 4-door versions; it was also Dodge's first convertible since the 1971 Challenger; then-Chrysler chairman Lee Iacocca believed he could revive interest in convertibles, which at the time were no longer part of any major manufacturer's range.It came in just two trims - the base and LS. Its engines were limited to the standard 2.2 L I4 engine or an optional Mitsubishi-built 2.6 L "Silent Shaft" I4. The convertible came with the 2.6 L engine as standard.
Total production: 31,449.
1983
For 1983, the LS trim line was dropped; that would be the only major change for this year.Total production: 25,952.
In 1983, the 400 sedan was replaced by the 600. The 400 coupes and convertibles were integrated into the 600 lineup in 1984.
