Yep, I knew that. I was just curious if you can still get them at a dealer. I'd call but I'm not on the mainland right now.

That shot was back in April, and I caught her good side On closer inspection it needs a bit of work. I've got a set of hubcaps from a K-car on there. Here's a more recent shot:


You really can't tell from these photos, but the clearcoat is shot on the trunk, and the hood has some odd rust spots on it. The doors are on their way out too.

Thanks :]

The truth, I don't know the paint code. It is a House of Kolor paint w/ pearls. I wish I knew the paint code, because I have been wanting to mod the exterior some more, ex. Hood scoop. :]

No, I actually mode those. I used plexi-glass :]

You can get them from some 90+ lebarons at the junkyard.



PS. Nice coupes!! :]

WOW...that '92 is SUPER rare!! They didn't make that many Ti's in '92 to begin with, but that one being a 'Baron AND a 5-speed!!! WOW!!! Very nice car!!

BTW, '90-up 'Barons and '91 up Daytona's cup holder ARE the ash tray. If you look at it it is made that way.

Yeah, my mom had no idea when she bought it in '94. Needless to say my brother and I have it now...It's not going anywhere, and is already in storage for the winter .

It's got a rebuilt head with a Mopar cam in it, otherwise it's bone stock. I did replace the check valve from the turbo with one from a wash fluid system. It comfortably puts the turbo to about 10-11psi. The part I love about the set-up in that car is no turbo lag. From a dead stop the car will spin the tires all the way through first. My car won't do that...have to wait for the turbo for spinnin' tires. Although mine had a bad clutch before the tear down.

It took me a while to figure that one out.

You guys have some very nice and clean rides. I especially like that blue one, the red one with the steelies looks very nice. I wish my car was as clean as stratous'. I will probably take some pics of mine soon I only have pics of the engine bay and stuff. Then there is also the OP ride, nice too.

These cars are fun and comfy to cruise in too.

Oh and come to the dyno day if you are close:
