However, the overall build, fit n finish was absolutely attrocious compared the the Toyota I had gotten rid of.If I had known then what I know now about turbo Dodges, I definitely would’ve held on to my Aries wagon just a bit longer.Motor Trend did pronounce the Lancer victorious in a comparison test with an Audi, though. The Chrysler LeBaron GTS and Dodge Lancer were quiet and comfortable, despite chassis dynamics equaling more expensive import sedans.The turbo car, at launch, added a computer boost control system, which could allow ten second bursts of 9 psi boost, rather than the usual limit of 7.2 psi, without letting the turbocharger exceed 1650°F.The Lancer was fairly light on its feet at 2,600-2,750 pounds (1,179 kg), but it felt solid.
Around 150,000 miles on her (not quite sure exactly how many, since the speedo/odo didn’t work any more). 1962 Dodge Lancer GT. Weight was just over 3,000 lb (1,360 kg) with the average driver, so performance was not as good as the lighter and lesser-equipped Shelby GLHS. If you win the auction, your card will be charged for the service fee and you pay the seller directly for the vehicle. My dad always looked over at me, grinning with a wild look in his eyes as he dumped the clutch, and then hung on to the torque steering helm as I laughed all the way to the next stoplight in Santa Cruz, California (when it was still cheap to live there). First the turbo kept going on me, then the vacuum pressure kept failing on me. The Chrysler build sheet is also included along with owner’s manuals and manufacturer’s literature.The Carfax report shows no history of accidents or other damage and lists ownership in Wisconsin from 1990 through 2015. I put 50’s tires with chrome wheels on her and had all the black trim painted to match the car. A friend back in the day had a Saab 900 Turbo that he thought was just fantastic. The latter was useful when one wanted to quickly divert sound to one speaker, but tended to require too much attention when making small adjustments.In 1987, a high-performance Shelby-badged model was added; it had a Shelby motor, using the Chrysler Turbo II induction system on the Turbo I block, producing 175 horsepower, but without quite the durability of the full Chrysler treatment. Sadly, the Plymouth Horizon and Plymouth Turismo were never offered with the boosted engine…the Turismo Duster was the “sporty” trim level of that model. Anything bigger (thicker), you were out of luck…Owned a non-Shelby Turbo Lancer back in the day…drove it for almost three years. The top of the door panels projected into the roof, concealing drain troughs.We had to delay the “H” Body [Lebaron GTC and Dodge Lancer] more than six months when Hal Sperlich, my boss, saw the latest Toyota and Nissan Leopard cars at the Tokyo Auto Show. I thought that everyone had forgotten it. That love lasted about a year, that’s when all started going wrong. With such a light weight, they were quite tossable, too. The K-car high cowl, upright windshield, and square design were downright primitive compared to what Honda and even Ford were doing at the time.
I really wanted a Shelby Lancer, but the dealer apparently wasn’t getting more of them for a while, and offered me a substantial discount to take this car.It did have some mechanical issues, but I had them taken care of long before the 7/70 warranty ran out. My mom drove it 99% of the time, maybe 10,000 miles a year, very lightly.

Modified by Carroll Shelby for 1987 and in Graphic Red only, the Shelby Lancer was intended to be an American counterpart to such European sedans as the BMW 3-Series and Peugeot 405. I had heard of turbo lag and torque steer before. I bought it in 1989 with about 15,000 or so miles on it. Your bid has been posted in the comment flow on the listing, and you can see other bids there as they happen.

There were notches in the plastic facia in the back of the car that allowed those to slip in. There was SERIOUS jury-rigging under the hood by the time the head gasket finally went, and she’s gone to the big parking lot in the sky, now.The turbo version of the Lancer (non-Shelby) was the second to last American cars my parents bought. A plaque located above the glovebox shows this to be Shelby Lancer #282. It was smaller.The K car variants were flexi-flyers in comparison.
