was thinking about snagging one of these for Q-ship duty (caravelle, q-ship, pirate, sleeper, get it? ;) ) anyway im trying to find some info about them, for example did they come turbo? what engines? t1 only im sure but did it run long enough for 2.5? do the nose cones swap between early and later? also does anyone know what the base weight would be?

Thanks guys :thumb:

You bet they were turbo'd... I know they made them through 87...

My sister in law had one and I think it was an '88. I'd have to ask my brother about that.

I saw one here in Lincoln a couple years back, 88 2.2 TI with a 5-speed. Fully loaded except leather.

I always thought it would be cool to have a 5-speed E-body but have never seen one.

I imagine it was one of those cars that was never supposed to exist, but somehow did.

I was looking through an old 600 brochure and they had a picture of the 600 interior, complete console and 5spd, always though that looked unusual. Not as wierd as the stick shift minivan, but certainly more rare.

I never knew that they were available with the turbo. There is only one in the area though. A guy who goes to OU, and parked in the same structure as myself. good info.

I saw an 88' Turbo caravelle yesterday. It was pretty beat, but still running. The guys just bought it for 400 bucks and was putting some oil in it. If it would have been in good condition, I probably would have tried to buy it off of him for cheap.
