I am selling my 88 Chrysler Conquest TSi SHP. SHP stands for “Sports Handling Package” which was offered as an option in 1988 and 1989. It offers slightly stiffer springs, 8 way adjustable struts, and wider wheels/tires(16x8Front, 16x9Rear).
2.6L SOHC I-4 Turbo Intercooled RWD
118,*** miles on the cluster
Red paint, not high quality repaint, but it looks good from 10ft?
5 speed manual.
Manual Sunroof w/ removable option
Power Windows/Locks
Black Leather interior
No rust anyplace I can see, cept a lil surface rust on the rearsubframe, which isn’t bad at all.
Frame rails are solid as a rock, which is rare for these cars.
Engine runs alright. Although it recently developed a dislike for cold starts, but once warmed up, it gets much better. I suspect a Coolant Temp Sensor.
Great oil psi.
There is some damage to the rear passenger side corner, previous owner was rearended by a Chevy Blazer. Bumper cover is cracked, and 1/4 panel has a dent. You might be able to pop most of it out? Im not a body man. Car will come with a spare bumper cover!
The car currently has manual steering, the pump is shot.
The Front struts are still adjustable, however one of the previous owners had replaced the rears, with non adjustables.
Car is currently inspected til dec i think…

2.) the car runs ok like he said…but smokes a lot…turbo completely gone in and out play is rediculous
3.) i did a compression test (WARM) when i got the car home and the engine is GOOD and with in spec but low. spec is between 113-142 psi
test results
cylinder 1=120
cylinder 2=125
cylinder 3=122
cylinder 4=118
4.)i put a 1g dsm bov on it and replaced a bunch of vac line before i looked at the turbo issue
5.) fixed a bunch of wirings in the back for the lights and they work now(trailer hitch or some sort of extra wiring causing a short)
6.) now to a little problem of the windows being stuck in the down position…no idea what happened(happened after i did the comp test) havent even looked into it at all
7.)car was driven 10 miles if that and put in my garage and thats where it is currently.
