Definitely a good looker, and they are fun to drive with the torquey 3.0 Mitsu mill.

Do the back side windows go up and down? 
That was a common challenge with these.  Well, at least until the A-pillars rusted from the inside out and then the door hinges had a hard time, but other than that...

I assume the windows work fine as it has been in the garage with the top down forever but the top and rear windows were both up when I went over to take these pictures.

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

 I am late to join in here. My new 94 Dodge Shadow had the same drivetrain.  3.0 auto. It lasted 70K miles.  The transmission went out and the paint flaked off. Chrysler F---ed me.  I have never bought anything new from them again. :flame:
So..  What is the current bid ?  :popcrn:

JB400

I wonder if they used this engine as inspiration when designing the supercharger for the hellcat? :icon_smile_big:

So glad you made it! I really was hoping she didn't sell the car without your valuable input. My mind is at ease now.

  That is kind of rude, don't you think.  :flame:
I was not bashing your Mom's car. Just telling folks what kind of experience I had with that drivetrain.
Stu, I thought we were better than that.  :brickwall:  I GIVE YOU FREE PARTS AND YOU THROW ME UNDER THE BUS.

JB400

Lets see. Site owner is trying to sell mom's car, and you tell him the drivetrain is junk and not worth buying.

Do you see the issue? :popcrn:

The 3.0 is a mitsubishi engine it has issues like the timing belt needs replaced at about 70k water pump at the same time. it also doesn't have valve cover gaskets that can last 180k like the chrysler 3.3/3.8 can. but if taken care of can easily go 200k or more. my son is currently painting his 94 shadow with a 3.0 his has been converted to a 5 speed. The manual trans makes them very fun to drive. We receintly converted my 94 spirit with a 3.0 to 5 speed as well. We resealed mine 50k ago and with full synthetic oil I go 9k between oil changes. why 9k because that is how many miles it takes to use 1 qt of oil. I do prefer the real mopar engines but a 3.0 will work ok if taken care of. And all 90's chrysler paint sucks actually any ones clear coat paint sucks. my 50 year old chargers single stage looks better then a 10 year old clear coat paint car

Where and when did I say that ?  I just said I was not happy with the dependability of that drivetrain.  The Stewart throws a jab at me, for no reason.  :brickwall:
