Did he replace the 19 year old fuel lines and filter? Also if you are getting the pump replaced----drop the tank and replace the rubber that goes between the tank and filler tube. A LOT cheeper to do it all at once. Take it from someone who did not. It's only money.

While that is being done......all three of my T/C's leaked fuel when over half a tank of gas was in the tank. Turns out the tube you stick the gas pump into goes into the tank through a BIG rubber gromet. All of mine were toast. Most Chrysler dealers stock this part as it is the same used on the Daytona to the mini vans. While back there.....how old is that fuel pump? If you have the tank droped to do all that other work and don't have that original fuel pump replaced---you will regret that. That's how I have $14,000 in repairs to my sons 1990 T/C in 5 years. One thing always leads to another.

The T/C uses a Chrysler K frame architecture. This program started basic engineering in 1977. Thus the T/C is a 30 year old platform engineering wise. IMHO if you want the proper springs for our cars here is a link.

How old are the wires? If you don't know or if they are older than 8 or so years old---Replace them. Nice time to do plugs at the same time.
Denso iridium plugs are what I use. Magnacore for the wires.

You mean like this? Car belongs to John Bacon in St Augustine Florida. He built a custom wine rack of African rosewood. I had wine custom bottled for the Florida event 2 years ago. That is the T/C special wine in the rack. A bottle of red and a bottle of white.

Chip would.....push it off a cliff. I asked Chip at last years Barret-Jackson in Palm Beach. He HATES Italian cars. He also thinks the last good mopars were produced in the early 1970's. Front wheel drive is also a waste on Chip. Chip is now-and will always be a Ford man.

Dayton can make any size-bolt pattern-and offset.
The one's in the picture are 5x100 bolt pattern-18" rims-with a 40 offset. They were only $5800 from Dayton.

My son's alternator just died in his T/C. Lasted ONLY 19 years. How dare it.

Hey Jasper-I know of a 1 of one 16 valve----Oh well

Jasper-are you taking the "Bus as big as most towns in Alabama" or are you taking something smaller?

Alan-Are you planing on flying or driving to Florida? If you fly into Orlando I can pick you up. I know it's still 4 months out-just let me know. Someday soon my NEED for a pinks hot dog will over take me and you just may see me.

Still a work in progress-you can now go to my web site for complete links and forms for the T/C show in November. Also former head of the T/C project in Italy-Mr Bob Davis is helping us with plans for the 20th anniversary reunion of T/C's set for the Walter P. Chrysler museum in Auburn Hills Michigan in 2009. Any T/C owners in Michigan that would like to help-just send me a line. Thanks--Tim Cowan

REDMAN-The enclosed picture is of the LaMota's car from here in Florida. It has a VERY well done cont. kit and a gorgeous dark blue custom soft top. Cost on the top alone was $2500. It has won best modified T/C 2 times at the Florida meet and 3 times at the T/C nationals.

The alarm systems were manufactured by clairion in china. They were installed in SOME T/C's when they got to port in N.J. The company is out of buisness and there are no parts or info left. If you want an alarm system have the old one removed and have a modern system installed. This was a VERY poor alarm. Farly 80's tec. The installers were paid $25 per car. They did a 2 cent job.

Any auto shop that does the "convertible look" on a hard top can do a removeable top. Here in Florida I see some of the strangest cars with fake convertible tops. To attach material to a painted surface-3M makes very good spray adhesives for this task.

The smart has the same passenger space as the Benz e-class saloon. My son is 6'4"-285lbs with size 17 feet and him and I fit with room to spare. Now the balest with a 1700lb car and Ian and I are another question. 5 star crash rating also.
Your ONLY chance EVER to own a real 87 pace car

This is a link to a REAL 1987 LeBarron Indy pace car. Only 4 were built. One is owned by the speedway. One was given to Al Unser Jr. for winning the race, which he still owns. One Chrysler has stored in Auburn Hills. This one was sold to PPG-Pittsburgh paint group who was the pace car sponsor for all CART races. It has north of 500hp. I called and yes-Chrysler still has a few sets of pace car decals for the car.
