i was behind a older yellow lebaron yesterday, then i relized that the chrysler pentagon had a fork in the middle. it wasn’t a lebaron, but a a Chrysler TC… a joint production between Chrysler and Maserati. it was neat :kekegay: anyone know anything about these? ---

Maserati also worked closely with Chrysler, now headed by de Tomaso’s friend Lee Iacocca. Chrysler purchased part of Maserati and the two jointly produced a car, the Chrysler TC by Maserati. ---

If you want a real challange get hold of a Maserati wiring diagram-- I guarantee you’ve never seen anything like it. I had the pleasure of doing so when I had to repair the power window circuit on an '81 Quattroporte. I hated working on Ferrari’s too. Complete clusterfucks. Give me a Porsche anyday. ---

the maserati dohc 16v engines had forged pistons, rods, crank and a little ihi turbo. they had their own unique getrag tranny too. super hard to find parts for and very limited number made. ---
