    1989 Turbo Dodge Spirit

    This is a car I picked up last year with the sole purpose of using it just for the winter. Well I ended up driving it daily up until today. I just picked up another car and don't really need 4 cars, let alone 4 Spirits. This car is a 2.5 liter turbo with the A413 automatic trans. It has no modifications, the only thing I changed from factory was a vacuum manifold and eliminated the factory boost control. I also put a headgasket and thermostat in it last Christmas.

    The car is not perfect, it has bad paint and some surface rust. There are some door dings too, no hail damage though. The interior is clean but some of the fabric is faded and the headliner sags. It needs an O2 sensor, it idles a little rough when the engine is cold. The trans also has some shifting issues that are from what I believe a gunked up valve body. I have a spare transmission that goes with the car. I don't think car leaks oil, but one of the driveshaft seals leaks trans fluid.

    When I picked the car up last year a lot of the tune up items were replaced along with a new governer and spring kit in the trans.

    These pictures are from today, it will NOT come with the wheels on it as they are my winter wheels and tires and I will need them. It will come with the stock 14 inch steelies with hubcaps.























    I want $800 for the car with the spare transmission (w/ torque converter). If you want specific pictures let me know.

    I replaced it with a rust free Silver Spirit R/T, should make a sweet winter beater!

































    Just Kidding! My "new" winter car is a 1990 Spirit ES with a 5 speed and intercooler setup.

    Lol, Its this winter beater mentality which is why H bodies are so hard to find rust free. Nice car for a "beater". Hopefully someone buys this. Would make a great "sleeper".
