Our Take:
- Rare and Low Mileage: The 1988 Chrysler Conquest TSI is a rare bird indeed, especially with such low mileage of just 36,000 on the clock. This model often flew under the radar compared to its more famous siblings, but for those in the know, it's a treasure. A ride like this, practically untouched and from the original owner, is a find that’s more rare than a sunny day in Seattle.
- Part of a Unique Heritage: Though badged as a Chrysler, the Conquest TSI is actually a rebadged Mitsubishi Starion, reflecting a fascinating piece of automotive history—back when automakers weren’t just sticking to their own backyards. It was part of Chrysler's strategy to diversify their lineup with international partners, bringing Japanese engineering flair to American garages.
- Advanced Features for its Time: This car was certainly ahead of its era—factory stereo controls on the steering wheel and a power seat belt system were pretty snazzy for 1988. And let’s not gloss over the factory equalizer; back then, it was the kind of feature that made you feel like a DJ in the driver’s seat. It’s like having a little piece of hi-fi history integrated into your commute.
- A Turbocharged Gem: The turbocharged engine was a gem, providing a thrilling drive that still gets the adrenaline pumping. For those who appreciate the turbo whine and the raw feel of an '80s sports car, this Conquest TSI is like an automotive time capsule—taking you right back to an era when going turbo was all the rage and every drive felt like a scene from an action flick.
