I'd love to know the backstory here.
PT Cruiser people are weird.
The PT Cruiser is probably the worst car Chrysler ever manufactured, mechanically speaking. And that's saying something because basically every car Chrysler ever manufactured was the worst one they ever manufactured, but the PT Cruiser surpasses them all as the absolute worst.
This isn't a driveway, its a boneyard.
I thought the motors and trans on them were fairly reliable if you did basic maintenance on them
My dad was a mechanic his whole life. After he retired, he got a PT, and he absolutely loved it. The only thing I can think is that after a lifetime of driving "mechanic's cars," the PT was brilliant by comparison.
Hahaha, damn, that's saying something.
And I grew up in a shop. You couldn't give me a Chrysler product.
Thinking back, he drove a lot of Mopars. What I can immediately remember:
- 67 Plymouth Fury
- 70 Dodge Polara
- 69 Plymouth Valiant
- 78 Chrysler Cordoba
All of those were in really nice shape. The one non-Mopar I remember was a 78 Cadillac Coupe de Ville, rusty as hell, which he gave me when he bought the PT so I could take it to the dirt track. And that was shortly before he retired. That Caddy had the 425 V8 making a whopping 180HP when it was new.
Rich. Corinthian. Leather.
