I know we are all car folks and in the know,.........................................
but how many of you know that Chrysler built ANOTHER joint venture 2 seater car???????
Do you know what it is???????????????
I do, I have one as my daily driver!!

 

Chrysler TC by Maserati

 

We have a BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes from 1989-1991 7301 cars were built. Target was the Cadillac Allante, Buick Reatta and the Mercedes 560SL. Car came with removable hardtop and convertable top under fiberglass covered boot and full power everything.
Ours is Artic White with Black Top and Black Interior.....there were ONLY 150 of that version made.

 

You must love it .Or you can't start it.

 

Are you throwing darts at my car????????????????

 

No just asking??s

Why keep it ?

The XFire is a much better choice.

 

WHY NOT keep it??????????
I'm not making a choice between the two, I made a choice to HAVE the two!!!!!!!!!
I like the idea of having more than one unique car. Of course the Crossfire is a better car, but you aren't comparing apples to apples, are you???

I've got a Model "A" Tudor Street Rod also.........................yes the Crossfire is a better car, but we aren't comparing apples to apples there either are we?????????????

I thought you owned more than one car, but I guess I was mistaken....................

 

Should I get into this? Anyway, in 1990 (only) , Chrysler built another rare performance car. The Chrysler TC was based on the Le Baron J body. But Chrysler built a few Le Baron GTC's with the Turbo IV (Shelby engineered) engine, with a Getrag 5-speed manuel. They built 132 convertibles and 123 Coupes, before cancelling this model. I know about this car because I bought a coupe new, and still have it. This is truly a hot performer that hardly anyone knows about, except the ones that drove them. Of course, they did have a back seat of limited space, so in essence, as far as I was concerned, alot like a two seater. This car was capable of 140 MPH. When I get my Crossfire, soon, I will be anxious to compare it to my Le Baron.

I do.
I understand the street rod as a collectable but the TC I don't really think of it as a garage keeper myself but that's only me.Have fun with yours, no more darts from me.

 

Got any pictures ????????????????

 

The object (in my humble opinion) is to keep them ALL. I own a 1990 Reatta conv. and am a member of that online group as well, and they are always talking about the TC. It is a beautiful car that unfortunately was not well supported by Chrysler. Some day they both may bring some serious money both for their design and rarity. Bill

 

Don't I wish I HAD kept all of my favorites and non favorites of the 150 plus cars that I have owned.
Like my 58 356A Convertible "D"
and my 59 356A Coupe
and my 61 Fiat Abarth Roadster
and my 67 3000 MkII Austin Healy
and my 74 3.0CSI
and my 69 AMX
and my 85 300ZX TURBO
and my 86 Mitsubishi Starion ESI-R
and my 86 Fiero GT
and my George Barris Chopped 40 Buick Roadmaster
and my 55 Chevy Hardtop with the 327/275 4 speed
and the 67 Fairlane 390GTA
and......................
and................................I'll bring my book that I started 27 years ago on the 22d!!!

 

Nah deciding which to drive would make you nuts.

Plus that classic car syndrome sets in and you never drive any of them for fear someone or something might nick it !

 

You are right on that, Dan!!
I drive whatever I have, always have and always will!!!!!!!.
I enjoy TODAY to the fullest.................I may not be here tomorrow!!!!

 

I do have pictures of my Le Baron, but I have to figure out how to post them here. So it may take some time.

 

The only one I'm a little shy to drive is the z, but it is because it is prone to overheat and I hate getting stranded. Otherwise I believe in driv'in um cause otherwise there are just big expensive paper weights.

 

The Weathermans DART hit the partly sunny zone for tomorrow.................so after a little washing, top will be down and we will be cruizin'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The "DART" must have fallen out of the Weather Predicting Chart because................
we never saw any SUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did put the top down and I did cruize BUT for a relatively short time.
It was Chilly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Well, lets see if I can get the pictures of my LeBaron GTC VNT, intercooled turbo to download here:

 

Kissin' Cousins!!!!!!!!!!!!
