here is my entry to this madness a 1992 Chrysler LeBaron convertible with the Mitsubishi 3.0 v6 and 4 speed auto
the value is $500
here is what it looks like when i got the car last year
it is a base model but with the leather and the performance buckets with side bolsters so hey bonus
it also came with an external trans cooler installed by the perfidies owner so one less thing i have to buy. with a a604 this is vary common and recommended addition
fist thing i did did was it needed new struts the fronts where blown and where the factory installed units from 92. i bought a set of KYB shocks and struts (only aftermarket ones) on ebay for $89 shipped this included the rear shocks as well
it was not that easy break the bolts loose with not a lot of room
i also replaced the rubber fuel lines with A/N fittings and braided steel cost me $107 i also sold the horrible fart can that it came with to a local for $30 and bought a cheap turbo muffler for $20 off of craigslist
so current total
car $500
struts/shocks $89
muffler $20
old muffler -$30
A/N fuel line $107
total so far $686
now the plan. i am going to be buying a 2.5L turbo 1 form a 89+ K-car or equivalent and a wiring harness from a 92+ so it will be plug an play an a413 from a 87+ turbo car and go from there. goal is to run 12.9 reliably at the track and still be a good DD
