A Conquest For Sale, Tampa Area, Slightly Customized (Yea, Right!)


The only thing I have to say is what did this Chrysler Conquest (remember, this is a rebadged Mitsubishi Starion after all) do to deserve this fate. Yes, the body work is questionable, but wait until you see what else has been done to it.


The owner performed numerous body modifications to this unfortunate Conquest, and the results speak for themselves. There was also an engine transplant, in the form of a 4.9L Ford Windsor V-8. But why should I say anything, when the ad speaks volumes:

Has custom everything, front end, rear end fender flairs, shaved door handles, possy traction, with a 5.0 HO motor. A real head turner!! any question call Chris at 813-XXX-XXXX.

    Strangely, his rear end is one letter away from being a front end.

    Possy traction? That's one letter away from something pretty naughty-sounding and perhaps useful, too. After all, nobody wants to slip at inopportune moments, right? As for the car, it looks better stock, and I'd much rather spend $4500 on a pristine and unmolested '89 Conquest/Starion (if there are any left).

      I originally read it as that. Yes, I'm a lecherous old man.

    The front says Cadillac, the rear says Skyline, and the engine says Fox body. This car is confused, so very confused.

    This used to be a Conquest. Now it's just sloppy seconds.

    Also, are people from Tampa called Tampons? I'll be in Florida later this week, so maybe I'll ask around.

    As much as I love to hate this car, it's probably pretty fun to drive.
    Provided no one's looking.
