Alot of the 80's Chrysler products were turbocharged, but they were fairly expensive to repair if something went wrong. People hear how much it'll cost to replace a turbo or head or both and it was cheaper and easier to scrap em' and buy a new car.<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley19.gif border="0">

Yep... I've worked at Chrysler dealers for a long time, seen lots of them get scraped. It's a shame...
But if Chrysler could have made amore solid turbo... LOL! Or maybe if the world wasn't so hard on them to begin with... LOL!</P>~Amanda</P>

The big thing with the turbocharged cars was that people were uneducated about them. Even the dealers had no idea on how to take care of them. People would floor them cold and shut down hot. This led to quick turbocharger failure. People who knew how to take care of them are running around with 200,000 miles + on their original turbos. </P>
I'm only asking $1000 for the Daytona as she sits. There is a whole list of mods done to her on my site.</P>
