Saving A 77,000 Mile Chrysler Conquest TSI ABANDONED FOR 10 YEARS - From The SCRAP YARD!

[@_Haris1904]

You found a Gem right there man. It deserves a complete restoration

[@Junkyard_Dave]

@_Haris1904 definitely gonna happen

[@poplaurentiu4148]

@@Junkyard_Dave I'm from Europe cool car i knew back in the days Mitsubishi wanted to get in Group-B and maybe into Group-S rally with the Starion 4WD after 86 the have to build around 200 cars to enter.. Sadly the Group-B ended in 86 the Group-S was cancelled and sadly Starion without even turning a wheel in rally remained a very rare vehicle..

[@AlteredCarbons]

bro, you STOLE this damn thing....

[@davetires7300]

I had a blue Conquest TSI back in the early 90’s,fun car ahead of it’s time

[@Junkyard_Dave]

@@davetires7300 they are cool cars

[@longsleevethong1457]

My freind had one. I liked that blue color.

[@ShawnSJames]

Haven't seen a Chrysler Conquest since I was a kid in the 80s. That car is in almost pristine condition! Dude didn't know what he had. I can't believe dude was gonna scrap a car that nice. With a little cleanup he woulda got way more for it. You got a deal on it!

[@Junkyard_Dave]

I have never understood why people dont take a day or two to clean up the car they are trying to sell

[@fxr1991hd]

Keep that baby ORIGINAL!!! No LS BS to many LS swaps are boring... This is the original rice burner here in the states... it would be so much cooler as it was originally intended!!

[@Collywood-Studios]

FINALLY!!! You are the first person i have seen to get a conquest/starion, such a unique car

[@ALLGUMSANDTEETH]

I have always loved the body lines of the conquest. I'm jealous.

[@Dismantledgarage]

Once in a lifetime find right there!! Nice score!!!!

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Thanks and I was pretty lucky

[@geoffdowney9295]

I have two older cousins to that ride. 1984 Colt GTS Turbo's. G32bt engine, 105hp, twin stick and 1900lbs. Nice find Dave. Hard to find those in that condition.

[@LouisWing]

I used to work at a car dealership when these were new, and they're a whole lot of fun to drive. We got stories based on these cars. This was Fast and Furious way before the movies!

[@scottysgarage4393]

The build quality on these is amazing. The engines are trash, but an outstanding LS swap. Did one 10 years ago and it turned it into a VERY fun car.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

I have enough LS cars this one really doesn't need to be fast

[@craigbowley6783]

That interior would shampoo back to brand new 💯 that whole car would detail back to almost showroom 👌 you got so lucky with that thing! What a sick little ride!

[@tedbiernacki376]

I had one of these for a short period of time. The Mitsubishi version . Very cool car. Ahead of its time. The only shortfall is it doesn't have rack and pinion steering. I think they have kits for conversion. What a deal on the Banana 🍌 ! Bring it back to life !

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Ill have to look at the steering when I get it on a lift

[@danielsmith9500]

Wow. Sweet find! I remember when they came out. My girlfriend at the time dad worked for the dodge dealer. He drove one home so we all got to ride in it. Was so cool. You stole this one for 1200$

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Thanks, they were a cool car

[@darionerat3671]

Hi. Dave, I have 4 of this cars, I can't tell you more about how great they are. Keep this car in original condition. The engine is powerful enough. Just throw that new turbo on, and you'll see. That buckle on the back is damage. It is not from the factory like that. Front spoilers are made of fiberglass, and repair is easy. When you take him off, you'll see . It is a spaceship 😊😊

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Oh I didn't know they were fiberglass that is great it will be really easy to fix

[@brianshrock5398]

Around the 15:00 mark, those are indeed for the seatbelts. Kinda an on/off for the automatic seatbelts. Moto360 sells new airdams for the car, made from the same kind of plastics as atv’s. So they will bend rather than break like oem. You got into this car at a great time as 5 years ago there was basically no aftermarket support for these cars!

[@Junkyard_Dave]

I will have to check those air dams out thanks

[@skyjammer]

What a score….I remember sitting in a yellow with tan cloth back in the late 80s….it was on the dealership floor and I thought it was such a cool color combo!

[@Junkyard_Dave]

It was originally a colorado car which is pretty cool

[@LuisTorres-hi2ps]

Awesome purchase, I had a late 88 TSI Black on Black with adjustable suspension from the factory. Wheels were wider in the rear, the levers in the center console when raised release the seat belt mechanism around the doors. The front air dam is unuptainium. Lot's of tricks for the stock look and hp bump up

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Yeah Ill probably see what the exhaust looks like when I get it on a lift and probably end up redoing that and I don't have the hard pipes so ill probably just make some custom ones and go from there

[@limegarbage]

Damn, Dave, it’s ready for a car show as is really. Just get it running and it’ll get looks and even place! Nice find, serious!

[@Junkyard_Dave]

I was very surprised when I saw it in person

[@1936fordcrazy]

I love those cars, such a rare gem, I havent seen that color before also, great buy excited for content on it

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Thanks I should have a first start video after I get back from SEMA

[@markdeboer413]

Love those cars..my brother had a black 87 conqest..such a fun car to drive..handles great and pretty good performance for its day..cant wait to see it back on the road

[@DougToynton]

Try adding a precharge oil pump to bring up the pressure before starting. One of the problems is that TSI will start and oil pressure will not rise for a few seconds. Bearings suffer from delay.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

I usually prime cars that sit any extended period of time especially DSM's

[@bigmikeyz0071]

That was a steal of deal for this car. I love these cars and the color is awesome too. My neighbor had one for years in a bright red color it was so cool.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

I have enough fast stuff some stuff can stay close to stock

[@BobTheMartin]

It is astonishing he would think of scrapping this So happy you saved it

[@CaptainTonus]

You friggin' stole that thing! The wheels alone are worth what you paid for the entire car, and to find one with the cloth interior and no sunroof is also awesome. That's also a very rare color which was only offered for 1 or 2 years. Amazing find.

[@carlosroman8081]

You couldn't more correct very underrated vehicle and not a day goes by that I regret selling mines years ago. Restore it, you couldn't ask for more for the price you got it for and that's a true gift.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

I agree it's a really good car and I am really happy with the find.

[@onetonmantis]

Prelude seats of this era are very similar and a bit easier to find. Wonderful seats, highly recommend!

[@Junkyard_Dave]

I am very surprised they are comfy but hold you in tight

[@onetonmantis]

@Junkyard_Dave The prelude seats even have adjustable lumbar support. I have them in my CRX and couldn't be happier with them.

[@MrWoodyBalto]

Those cars are Sooo Handsome! I remember them being true Head Turners back in the late 80's. They are drop dead gorgeous in Blue.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

They defiantly have the body lines for it

[@joeymerrell8585]

I had a 89 conquest tsi years ago. Such a cool car and very fun to drive. You can swap two vacuum lines and up the boost so long as you have hard pipes.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

I dont think that I got all the hard pipes

[@joeymerrell8585]

@ we had to make them. Just make sure to bead roll them or they will blow right off under boost

[@americanpatriot2.06]

I know a guy who bought a brand new 1966 Mustang Coup. To date, he has 20K miles on it. It has been garaged and driven a few times during the summer, especially to car shows. Some people will buy a car and keep it as mint as possible because they know it will be worth a lot of money in the future. Based on the condition of the Conquest, I would say it was garaged and rarely driven by an owner who knew the car would be worth saving for future generations! So, the mileage does not surprise me. Some people just don't understand that some cars aren't driven like your average daily driver!

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Yeah you usually can tell a cars real age and mileage by the interior condition

[@kemptonrobinson9692]

Loved these cars back in the day that little rumble it had was sweet

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Yeah I will have to see what has been done to the exhaust and redo it, probably has the muffler removed or something

[@tonypuskadjia868]

Dave just got it running. Don’t mess with it. Parts are hard to get. Don’t pull it apart 😁👍

[@512Berlinetta]

Great find, and I can't wait to see it fixed. Those were quite formidable cars in the day.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

I mean I'm sure it still is my turbo fc beat a brand new veloster with a tune on it multiple times

[@scstudios8]

I had an 89, the car handles amazingly well with independent suspension. A bit under powered, but very well made.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Yeah if its anything like a stock turbo 2 fc it will be plenty fun

[@hollowsxkingdoms-2624]

I haven't heard of that Chrysler car before looks awesome can't wait to see what you're going to do with it

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Ill have a video on it once I get back from SEMA

[@romuluscreative]

Dude thats crazy luck.. Ive searched on and off for years for this car and they were just to expensive for what they are for me to buy it and it make sense. Its not really super collectable, Ive just always liked them

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Yeah I really don't buy cars to resell and I try to do projects that I want to do instead of what everyone else is doing. It will be a fun car to drive and take to shows.

[@foadrightnow5725]

Congrats on your score! I've always liked these cars! They are hugely underrated and underappreciated! Do whatever it takes to return it to it's former glory! You will not regret it!

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Thanks! Will do!

[@TheLegendaryt2]

Super find and I agree with u about the mk3. Bought one without ending and trans, the fuel pump went out so they swapped the driveway into a Cressida. I saved the car from the crusher. Spend a while looking for motor and trans which was ridiculous for a 7mgte. Got lucky and found a complete rusted out turbo manual. Just waiting to clear out garage space cuz in FL... HOA. Love the Starquest cars. U got a new subbie ❤ looking fwd to the end results. 👍🏾

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Thanks should be a quick fix

[@thomascastle1311]

The hatches on the Starion/ Conquest tend to naturally migrate to the rear. You can adjust them forward by opening the hatch to take pressure off the struts, loosening the hinge bolts at the roof, and pushing forward on the hatch while tightening the bolts again. some good facebook groups for the StarQuest cars.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

That is some good info Ill try that out thanks

[@guod1973]

Levers are to release the "passive restraints" seatbelts if they lockup in an emergency stop

[@Junkyard_Dave]

That is good to know

[@brianlarrabee6840]

My brother used to have a red one and it was so freaking fast!!! It was no joke!!! He sold it to his best friend, and his best friend never put oil in it and blew it up!!

[@algeniscorrea187]

Am glad you're saving this car. I would've done the same.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Yeah if it was a high mile car I might put a hellcat swap in it but maybe the next one I find

[@herbertjones1788]

I loved that car my best friend had one and left it with me for a week and I fell in love with it!! Nice find Dave hook it up and hopefully maybe put some bigger turbos on it. I want to see what you do with it ! What happened to green hellcat, Durango, he was working on????

[@Born_Texan]

WoW DUDE $1200 ? what a great freaking deal. I gotta admit I'm a bit jealous, I've always loved those totally underrated cars. Don't repaint it that paint should be pretty easy to save, it's only original once dude and that car is minty. Very well bought my dude.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Thanks and I will probably leave the body alone for awhile and just drive it

[@dmcnamara9859]

Had a new one back then as a kid. Turbolag big-time just like my 5speed 1987 Peugeot 505 Turbo. Reason I unloaded my stock White Conquest? Bodyflex and creaks and groans that just kept getting worse and worse with miles and time. Would never have wanted to get in an accident in that car. Doesn't take much to bend the rims and send them out to be straightened again and again.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Yeah I mean pretty all cars are like that MK4 Supras sound like youre driving a soda can around

[@patrickmoodabe9728]

I grew up with the Mitsubishi Starion Dave. What a fabulous car. 🤩🤩

[@Junkyard_Dave]

They are so boxy and wide its great

[@obiepelc940]

Oh my God, you are so lucky. I love Mitsubishi Starion/Chrysler conquest I will be following this build all the way through please do it justice

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Thanks and I will

[@herbsman05]

great find! keep it stock and just do a cosmetic restoration! that looks great inside out and it doesnt need any mods done to it. it looks great as it is!

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Its defiantly nice and Ill probably pdr as much as I can

[@myles4gone]

You have damn near a mint Conquest... I'm jealous.

[@JOHNABLANK]

Fantastic find!!! Definitely worth the price! It looks great, and I know Dave will make it look perfect.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Thanks for the support

[@juanpabloflores8179]

I'm jealous of the north american car market, it's so huge that you always have great variety, from domestic to european and asian imports, and the prices and cost of ownership are fair. On the other side, here in South America our market is small, having a car is a luxury (because of this fact, and in part because of taxes). Used cars prices are ridiculously high too. Incredible find, I hope you keep it as stock as possible.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Yeah it seems like America is the last country that has really relax car stuff

[@jeffreywhite7657]

You're a lucky man! Those are rare and hard as heck to find. I love em! 😊

[@Junkyard_Dave]

They really are hard to find in good condition

[@jeffreywhite7657]

Drop an LS1 in that thing. It'll be a drifting beast

[@ETBOOST-sf3yl]

the levers on the console by the shifter are emergency seat belt release in case of the accident. Also, hatch can be adjusted to sit flash with the wing by playing with the top hinges. Good luck finding front air damn 😏 NICE FIND!

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Ill look into the hatch adjustment I have seen on some cars if a strut is weak it will make the hatch not lign up

[@xdavid.williamsx2446]

Definitely in my top 10 cars I’d like to own. Great find.

[@aw11man26]

From what I remember the factory crank could be an issue when you start to crank the boost. Back in the mid '90s, people started swapping the 4G63 into these cars. NOW people are starting to LS swap these.

[@ThriftMachine]

I used to see this Conquest cruising around in Littleton/ Lakewood area in the 90s and 00s. I recall the tan cloth interior, it was gorgeous.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Yeah the guy said it was originally sold in Colorado when new

[@Amoparman408]

Ha ha first sentence of the ad. "I know what i got", then proceeds to give it away. Enjoy your Subi's sir. At least he wanted it to go to a good home... DONE!

[@Junkyard_Dave]

It will look good next to the VR4

[@85bigGMC]

I didn’t know these even existed until about 2000. I had an apartment in a sleepy little farm town in mid Illinois that overlooked main street. One night around midnight or 1 am a white one rolled through really slow. No idea where it was from and never saw it again, but I was in love with the looks and have always wondered why they didn’t sell better.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

I think the only reason they didn't sell well is because they were a 4 cylinder turbo at the time people thought 4 cylinders were gas savers and slow, plus they were pretty pricy even back then

[@hestarellas]

I use to have 2 models of Mitsubishi Starion one without widebody and one with widebody back on 1985

[@Junkyard_Dave]

The best thing they did was add the wide body the lines flow really well

[@stevegee218]

Had a '86 (ex-SCCA Car) and then a white '88. Back in the day, Top End Performance in CA was the parts/aftermarket performance parts source. They had exhaust manifold cracking/exhaust stud issues from heat expansion. The intercooler tanks could also have blowouts (cracks) if boosted too much. I would so a basic pressure test.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Ill go through everything and make sure it is good

[@carlosfley3768]

I would’ve bought that in a heartbeat, you got the deal of a lifetime. Congrats, it was my first car too.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Yeah I defiantly lucked out on this one for sure

[@Toshiibeats]

Welcome to the Club! These are great to drive and I can't wait to see what you do with it.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

It will be fun to drive it for the first time

[@neilbrown612]

nice score Dave, personally not my cup of tea, but really amazing condition for such an old car.

[@MichaeldeCastro-n4x]

That’s a steal! Great find! If the engine is ok just restore it. But if the engine is blown why not change the engine into a more modern one? As far as I know the 6 bolter 4G63T’s directly bolts almost straight through the starion transmission. It would be a great build & parts of a 4G63 is so munch easier to find.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

That would be cool if everything bolted up

[@79huddy]

My buddy killed a cream puff 30,000 mile Conquest in less than two weeks in 1999 when we was in highschool disconnected the waste gate and gave her all the chooch till she melted down and chucked rods out both sides of the block it was impressive Edit: Also the guy he got it from was the guy whose comquest got featured in Mopar performance magazine in the 90's

[@Junkyard_Dave]

I remember the Saab's with the turbo button on the steering wheel that closed off the waste gate they were fun while they lasted lol

[@robertbonesio5498]

WHAT A DEAL!!!!! Love it!!!

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Thanks

[@jamesonbrandt9451]

Every issue with the bady can be fixed.. No need to replace. Just depends on the money you want to spend to get it done.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

I do all of my own work the only thing I would like to find is a air dam but if I cant I can fix this one

[@puntomk1uk64]

Looks a great save for the price!! way too good for the scrap yard so hopefully you'll have it up and running soon 👍

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Should be an easy fix

[@RoninDosho]

Given that you are a detail oriented guy, no doubt this car, especially at the price, will be fantastic. Great Score! It looks really nice in your new shop!

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Thanks the lighting is pretty good in the new shop, Ill get her running and driving then worry about the paint and body after I have some fun

[@thedjneck]

Dave, What a good car! If the engine is toasted, that thing deserves a 1G 4G63 with a lot of boost!

[@Junkyard_Dave]

I want to build a crazy one eventually

[@markkunikkanen]

What a score! Considering the age that car is almost mint. So jealous rn. 😂

[@Junkyard_Dave]

I almost couldn't believe my eyes when I got there

[@bradrock7731]

Very nice! I have a Starion & a Conquest just waiting to be brought back to life.. Seems like about five years ago they dissapeared from craigslist & ebay

[@Junkyard_Dave]

People sleep on cool cars until they are a fad then everyone wants one

[@Ludicrous_Speedway]

Super jealous. I have wanted a Starion forever. I feel like a lot of people sleep on the cars from the late Malaise Era. But towards the end they got “better” and so quirky and weird how could you not love them. Good luck Dave!

[@Ludicrous_Speedway]

OK I guess that's a link then.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Thanks

[@ryandoyle4344]

Gorgeous car! Keep it as a survivor; Only original once, plus it is easier to enjoy.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Yeah Ill probably keep it stock, I do want to find one to build eventually

[@murmur3966]

Hello Hello From Canada!!! I'm new to the channel and I am so glad the youtube algorithm brought you up for me to see. That looks like the neatest little car and when I looked at Hagerty to see what they value a lowest sale value $8,400 and a highest sale value of $33,365. Looking at your body damage and the interior looks like it hasn't even been sat in, I think you have a gem that could be worth $20,000-$25,000 to the right collector. If I were you I would be very careful about doing anything mechanically or body work until you have it professionally appraised so that you don't do something to reduce it's potential value. All the minor dings and dents and even that sad little passenger corner can be gently massaged out so you will never see them again to keep it original. When I saw it had all it's decals and looked cancer free like it had never even seen a snow flake since 1988, I was dumbfounded and I had to check out Hagerty. Unfortunately heavily modified or repainted cars can be found for 5-7,000 but your's could be so much more. Less than 11,000 examples were produced in 1988 and most of them are just memories now. The little handle you were lifting is an emergency seatbelt release, so you don't get trapped in the car after an accident. Your little yellow turbo has one of the rarest cloth interiors that were built and your interior looks prett yflawless. This is a link to pre-order a diecast 1:64 scale 1988 conquest in Y59-San Marino Yellow) www.diecastdirect.com/product/44619/ to pre-order one if you want it.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

That is cool thanks for the information and thanks for the subscribe

[@r.hill.2369]

Hey Dave. I just subbed so I can keep track of this rescue. Very cool rig!

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Thanks and should go pretty quick

[@depechetoad8343]

Dude you stole that! I just paid 2K for an Mk1 Scirocco that doesn't run, and I was stoked with that deal. Make this your next car to work on; it's an awesome car that you don't see on KZbin!

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Ill get it running soon should be easy unless the engine has some issues then Ill have to address that

[@warrioryfm350x]

Here’s another cool car Dave owns we will never see completed or run before he decides to blow it apart and never get to it again. You need to do a start to finish video on it.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

yup

[@richardthomas1743]

Looks pretty damn good Dave. Personally I would just give it a good wax and cleaning. Fix the mechanical issues and turn it into a good dependable driver.. Don't go over board with this , leave it original!

[@Junkyard_Dave]

I will get it driving and gather parts then paint it once I have sourced everything

[@andrewjames5527]

The oil seal in the turbo used to perish and oil went straight into the exhaust and cause white smoke

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Yeah it seems like it could be a few issues but ill get tot he bottom of it

[@bigsquatchsasfoot1964]

We had a company car one of these in white back it the day it was a cool car , back then it was a a bit nippy to . Superb buy Dave that was a bargain I’d had bought it for that price without an engine in it 👍

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Sometimes you just get lucky

[@dasauto75jh]

That front spoiler is the rarest. The one piece are hard to come by. Most are 3 piece. 2 outer pieces and one center piece.

[@PanameraTurboSEHybrid]

Nice find. I have a feeling the engine is done, but who knows. Hope you're going to respray it the same color. It's going to pop.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Yes same color on this one, I actually think it looks good so once it's resprayed it will all match

[@PanameraTurboSEHybrid]

@Junkyard_Dave Can't wait to see the build.

[@SonnyJohn-j4l]

I used to see those all the time; well more than the Mistu anyway; back in the day. Once they hit the lots as a 5-7yo used car w/+50K mi, most guys yanked out that gerbil powerplant and it got replaced woth either a built 340 or 360. Then again, that's as long as they weren't already rusting out; which was an issue for most imports from that time. Remember the Subaru Brat. There were quite a few of those that rusted out so bad they were junked before the warranty expired...also like Mazda's at the time. Before you get to tearing the body up to try and fix that corner you gotta remember that those wide body fenders were done on the assembly line. There wasn't much time for precision then, just "Yah, close enough is good enough." They had to cut off the regular fenders then add those on; using eithe lead filler or bondo to smooth it off before final paint; akin to the winged Charger Daytona & Superbirds. Take out all of the carpeting and pressboard coverpanels and the use a scope to look close if it's not easily visable. That's a factory blemish and I'd leave as is.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

I feel the rust issue was just in salt states most cars here sit bare metal without issues

[@brentcornish6107]

The Chrysler Conquest is the same car that Jackie Chan and the Dude from 007 Jaws were driving in the Movie Cannonball Run with Dom Delouis and Clinger from M.A.S.H. Lol

[@Junkyard_Dave]

It has been a long time since I have watched that movie

[@eddylorenzo5033]

You got lucky what a find rebuild and enjoy it 😊😊😊

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Thanks

[@alienfrmearth]

Just toss in a 98-02 trans am and a grand national into the garage and you have my dream garage... conquest... GTO...FC...MK3(owned a couple myself)...240... isn't there a 3000gt vr4 somewhere?

[@Junkyard_Dave]

I want a WS6 and a grand national eventually

[@tsi87supr60]

The notches in the spoiler are drain holes. Many of the hatches are set back like that from the factory. Black n tan interior is pretty rare. The milage seems to fit the condition. Levers on the console are seat nelt releases. Head gasket failure wasnt too common but did happen. Rarely, the head would crack between the valves on the #3. Most of the time that was hardly noticeable. The reason for the cracked heads and failed head gaskets on these cars is the intake design. 2 & 3 run leaner than 1 & 4. Some have swapped to mpi. Good air flow wasn't much of a forethought. If you pull the head. Have the jet valves removed and welde up the holes. Swap the maf sensor for a gen 2 eclipse turbo maf. If you're not worried about smog go with a full exhaust replacement. Pull the tail light out. That will tell you more about that buckle in the quarter

[@carlosfley3768]

If you promise to keep posting this car and doing it justice I’ll subscribe

[@curley1441]

At one point in time that was my dream car. Loved the style!

[@Junkyard_Dave]

You cant beat the body lines on these

[@jamesireland9188]

Nice purchase Dave really enjoyed the video have a good day and stay safe Jimmy from North Attleboro Mass.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Thanks

[@kb9oak749]

I remember when these were first released. I'd wander through the local Chrysler dealers showroom and drool over the Conquest. It's a cool car from a time when Mitsubishi still made cool cars.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

There are a few more mitsu's I want to find later down the road

[@RevM]

The levers in the center console are to release the automatic shoulder belts. I had one of these years ago but with a slush box. Handled well after I put springs and Koni's on it. I always thought it was underpowered but that may have had a lot to do with the transmission.

[@dewaynehowse231]

I want that car... i was in love with that car. When i was a teenager.

[@iandalton3839]

The Starion, so called because someone at Mitsubishi mispronounced 'Stallion'. I went in one in around '94. That was very cheap for what it is. Here a run and drive will cost £16,000.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

That is interesting info thanks

[@bassandhotrods]

My builds are all Ford related, but I have always loved these. Subbed

[@bradrock7731]

I have a Conquest without engine. It will get a Ford 302

[@car8070]

cool, never knew there was a chrysler version of this car. only ever knew about mitsubishi starion.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Its really just a name change and I think the mitsu ones had the logo on the front bumper

[@brian3288]

Well Shit a Brick! I totally called on that very car, and they said that they already had a buyer but would update the listing after that Sunday if it didn't sell! Its friggin hilarious that you ended up with it!

[@Buckwild_Garage]

The ABS module goes bad on these and brake fluid will get into the intake manifold. Check the brake fluid to see if it’s going low when the engine is running (and smoking)

[@Buckwild_Garage]

Also, this car is not SHP. I saw someone ask on IG.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

I will have to check that

[@Alanwalter1976]

Thats a deal dude. Dont find em like that often. Nice car. Nice snag.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Thanks
