New DD... Posted By: hot_red_z28 On: 05-08-2008 @ 23:18:04 Reply | Edit I've been driving my truck for the past few years and thought it was time to grab a new DD to save on the truck mileage some... (50+ per day to work and back) Not to mention gas savings... So I was trolling ebay for a while and finally came across a car I thought had a decent look... Here's what I bought... I'm going to Alabama on Saturday to pick it up... It's an 88 Chrysler Conquest TSI w/ Intercooler... Have any of you guys ever owned one? I got it for $2k with a crap load of spare parts... 140k miles... I heard a rumor that once I have a proper garage, someone might try shoehorning a v8 in there somewhere....  Let me know whatcha think!       --  Watch it idle: http://garrettreinard.bounceme.net/misc/lt1alive.wmv [ Edited on 05/08/2008 @ 23:24:51 ] Posted By: jjdynomite

Those are some sweet riding cars. My old neighbor was a hot rodder. He had a 69 Chevy C10 modded pretty bad and he parked it and bought his as a DD. He took me for a ride a few times in his. It was nice and pretty quick if i remember. His was a manual though. Nice car, but not sure about maintenance issues though. -- 89 GTA Trans Am stock.WS6 T-Tops, Alpine sound system, Flowmaster exhaust 75 Chevy Nova LN 350 4 bolt main bored .060 over, TRW Forged Flattop pistons MSD 6AL, MSD Billet Dist.
