I dunno how I found this channel ,but man your fun to watch.

[@RealSteelFabrications]

I appreciate it! What video did you find first?

[@rainbowmangarage]

@@RealSteelFabrications the first Turismo video! We just bought a 1989 Chrysler TC by maserati with a 2.2 turbo 2. Was looking for inspiration thru the Missouri winter months.

[@darrenbutler1938]

One of my favorite car i owned was my 87 charger 5 spd bought it with 485000 kms ran (hammered) it 560000 km where the rings left the chat and couldn't see behind me loved that car it was a blast burning tires off it i still miss it damn it was tough and fast for a little 2.2 carb

[@Jeffreycarr-t7g]

I was 13 remember picking up a brand new one from dealer 2.2 5 speed it was considered the big block 4 cyl then great memories in that car dash lit up a glowing green color at night man them were the good days a awsome time to grow up as a teen

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Sounds like a good time. This one runs pretty good!

[@ronstorey6012]

I'll take it. Beautiful little mopar

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Thanks! Might restore it 🤷‍♀️

[@chaseskipper5299]

My Dad bought this exact model with the black interior new off the showroom floor in 1983. He picked me up from after school daycare (I was 6yrs old) and it was AWESOME! Lol.. I told him when he was tired of it, I wanted it. Fast Forward 10 years, and my Dad gave it to me for my first car. That thing went on so many road trips and camping trips I just kept all my equipment in the hatch. Had to sell it when I went into the USMC, but I've always missed it.. Have fun driving it!!

[@RealSteelFabrications]

That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[@bd764]

I had an 83.Drove it from 1986 to 1991.It sure was a clunky,rattly car compared to the wisper quiet things we have now,but it was very peppy and fun to drive.What happened to your cats tail??

[@RealSteelFabrications]

They are super fun! I’m not for sure what happened to his tail. We just found him outside one day and that’s how he was

[@dukenudibranch6414]

I learned to drive a manual in one of these. When you were looking for first, I knew just how you felt.

[@RealSteelFabrications]

lol, not the best 5-speed driver

[@thesedaze2381]

I learn to drive in one. It was a grindfest indeed.

[@jerrydwyer9057]

One of my favorite ganes was lock the park brake and drag its butt around a parking lot with front tires smoking.

[@RealSteelFabrications]

[@TheCarFarm]

[@alienbishop]

Cool car

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Thanks!

[@1683clifton]

Mine said it was a duster and had chrysler badges on the dash. Im confused.

[@derekr3895]

There might be an adjustment that will cure your inability to find first easily. Not exactly the same trans, but I had a 89 LeBaron with an A555. Reverse was first, first was third, second was fourth, and third was fifth - and the transmission would roll like it was in neutral when stopped in gear. I was missing a clip on the shifter cable between the engine and driver fender. Any slop can throw off your ability to shift into the correct gear. Easiest to get to through the driver side fender well with wheel removed. There was also and adjustment procedure for mine, but I can't remember how to do it. I believe your transmission is an A525.

[@RealSteelFabrications]

ya the shifters on these things are super sloppy

[@ralphinator2]

Change ALL the rubber! Coolant, fuel hose, brake hoses, ALL the rubber.

[@MikeJBlues]

Man i owned that exact car i bought new in 83 , exactly identical, sold in 85 in Missouri too. Hmm

We had two cats like that, they are called Manx, or you got the Japanese bobtail too. They are just that way, no tail. They are great though, personality wise, really smart, a lot of them will play fetch. lol. Oh and by the way, cool little car, one of our friend around here has one, not sure if it's the tourismo or the charger, but it's the same body style and the engine look the same.
