    A high-priced U.S.S. Reliant. I wonder if the 4-cylinder is the Mitsu 2.6? What a hunk of junk engine, especially with the crapola Solex-Mikuni carb.

    I think the 2.6 was gone by '87, replaced by the turbo 2.2. Chrysler really should have offered the V6 in these.....

    I think they eventually did, but I couldn't tell you when. I've thought about retrofitting a 3.3L/AWD minivan drivetrain into one of these.

    It has the TURBO badge on the DS front fender, so this is a 2.2L car. Nice price for a decent-looker.

    I'd NEED to see evidence of the timing belt job on this. Fortunately, the 2.2L and the larger 2.5L are NOT interference motors.

    Hell with that, I'd just go and do it. I've done so many, I can still do them in my sleep.
