If you get to Tokyo and go to the Toyota museum...next to the Cadillac Alante and the Buick Reatta you will see a 1990 triple black 16 valve TC with 48 miles on the clock. I helped a friend with Toyota at that time find and purchase that car from Kansas City Chrysler Plymouth.

The last TC's sent to the US DID catch a ride on the GM Alante 747 cargo plane. They went to New Jersey and sat for 4 months or so. Most were used as Chrysler demo employee cars. In 1991 if you worked for Chrysler in management....you were going to drive a TC for a while. If you STILL worked for Chrysler in management in 2007 you WILL drive a Crossfire. History repeating itself. Total loss on the TC program....$11000 per car made. Total loss on the Crossfire program....$14500 per car AND Karmann out of business.

Yea pretty straight forward. Next time I would paint the inside of the reflector with a more reflective paint. The gray/silver that was used is just too dull. Maybe even wrap the inside with a mirror vinyl.

I had a miller tool I purchased from San Diego Chrysler when they went out of business. When I got out of TC's I gave it to Rick Diogo in Wellington Florida. He then had 2 of them. I've included a link to Rick's web site. Good luck.

It is part of a gentleman's collection in the pacific northwest.
A few years ago while driving to the TC nationals, he fell asleep at the wheel on the highway. We he woke up -he and the car were UNDER an 18 wheelers trailer at about 70 mph.
He saved the car and got out from under the trailer. The A pillar and a few other scratches was the extant of the damage as I recall.
It was repaired. I have seen the car and it is quite stunning.

I don't know where you live,but here in central Florida I have three places that rebuild fwd axles. The last I had done were $150 for the pair with a 3 year warranty. They looked brand new when they got done. Any mechanic worth his salt will know a local rebuilder. With all the FWD and 4WD's on the road-these rebuilders are out there. Look on line or yellow pages-you know that paper thing called a book-for a good local driveshaft shop.

Sue--so sorry to hear about your husband and your TC struggles. Any used car becomes a case of will/money/and lack of common sense against reality.
I think the TC is in Pinellas County Florida.

does your TC have the origional fuel pump? If you don't know-have the fuel pressure checked at the fuel rail. Fuel pumps DON'T last 25 years.
-
Since you have to drop the gas tank--this is a GREAT time to replace your gas tank filler neck gromet. Almost all tanks I have dropped the gasket has been dry rotted and leaking for some time

if it has the original fuel pump--I bet thats your problem. They don't last forever. Have the fuel pressure measured at the fuel rail.

I agree 100% with Hemi. Count me as one that converted my TC years ago.
