Chrysler Masserati

Any one out there in Chrysler Land have any information on that Vehicle, I
have a Friend that has a Masserati by Chrysler is there such a thing. I
would appreciate some information if available.
Thanks Emil

 

Basically a Chrysler Le Baron with a fancy interior and a fancy, and
expensive, head on the engine.

 

u can not get parts for t and it and few people want to work on it but if it
is like new and low milage send it thru barret jackson auction and u might
get some good coin

 

The vehicle is no different then a Lebaron, nothing special about the
engine, its just different cosmetically interior and exterior. If you worked
on a Lebaron you can work on this vehicle

Wrong. There are many, many parts unique to the "Chrysler's TC by
Maserati", as the vehicle is properly known. Not just body and trim
parts (Headlamp assemblies have been discontinued for years and command
four-figure prices on the used-parts market IF you can find them).
Mechanical parts as well. Much of the brake system is not shared with
any other vehicle, for instance. Go price a master cylinder for an
'88-'91 Chrysler's TC by Maserati and let us know what you find in
terms of part number, price and availability-that is *if* you can
find one available.

True only if the particular car in question has the 3.0 Mitsu V6. The
4-cylinder cars were a TC-by-Maserati-onl;y 16v version of the 2.2
engine. Not the same 16v 2.2 used in the Turbo-III cars (Spirit R/T and
IROC R/T) of '91-'93, either. LOTS of unique, expensive and
discontinued parts under the hood! Manifolds, head, spark plug wires,
airbox, ECM and a great many others. The TC by Maserati 4-cylinder cars
also used a GM-Harrison R4 air conditioner compressor. They fail just
as often under the hood of a Chrysler as they do under the hood of a
Chevrolet; they're not too hard to repair, but the A/C lines are
model-specific and no longer available.

You obviously have never been closer than 10 feet away from one. It is
equally obvious you still like to post ignorant drabble in response to
genuine questions.

 

Hey lite bulb, and I thought you weren't reading my post's. I work on these
vehicles all the time, they are just like Lebarons, yes there are parts and
different ways of diagnosing them but as I said Mr. Lite bulb, if you can
work on a Lebaron you can work on one of these.
The biggest difference is the interior/exterior design.
Now please climb back into your hole.

Why anyone would WANT the Dodgerati is another issue entirely unless
you were a Maserati completist. Everything peculiar to them is
unobtanium plus, they were a crappy car.

 

unavailable and/or staggeringly expensive parts, shoddy Italian build
"quality" applied to Chrysler's own not-so-hot late-1980s body and
interior fixtures and fitments, and to all but the keenest of
observers, they look like a (better quality, less costly to run)
LeBaron.

Of course, even Yugos and Subaru 360s and K-cars and Ford Clown
Victorias have their enthusiasts, so it stands to reason there's a
Chrysler's TC by Maserati enthusiast community.

Same goes for the Cadillac Allante.

Thank you for using an apostrophe to indicate helpfully that I was
approaching the letter "s" at the end of your sentence. As it happens,
you and all your sock puppets are in my killfile, but another
individual who sees through you sent me an e-mail pointing at your
particularly braindead remarks about the TC and suggested I go have a
laugh at your expense.

Running the washrack doesn't count as "working on" a car.

....if you can find and afford the parts.

 

funny thing though when it came out labor time was actual time or a,t

 

Crown Vics, at least of the vintages I have owned, and Town Cars have
proven reliable battlewagons and very maintainable aside from a few
quirks (like the difficulty of changing a thermostat on the 5 liter EFI
V8) that with a little toolmaking and patience are get-aroundable.

This isn't to say other years may not be nightmares. All mine had
various pushrod V8s and C-something or AOD boxes if that tells you. No
experience with the OHC modular.

 

Our shop doesn't give up. so far we haven't ran into that problem. My guess
is since you don't want to work on them and wish to blow them out of your
shop, you tell the owner that the part is not available anymore.. another
tactic used by the independents.

Please Mr. Bulb. I like it better when you were in your hole

 

Hey you left out my favourite, the TRABANT! 2-stroke smokers unite!

Seriously, what I mostly liked about the several K-cars I owned was the way
you could go to pull-it-yourself recycle yards and get virtually any part
you needed for $5. One time I even found a brand-new complete exhaust
system, and the car had even been tilted on its side before I got there,
just inviting me to help myself.

 

Yep. And there's a good reason for that!
