Considering its unusually low mileage and overall excellent
condition, it may be a little bit of a disservice to refer to this
1988 Chrysler Conquest TSI as a mere "survivor". With its
wedge-shaped, vibrant exterior, this ultra-sharp specimen of late
'80s style is more like a "thriver". Its factory-correct Fiji Blue
paint was likely refreshed a little while back, and judging from
its smooth texture and even application, it was done at the hands
of a skilled professional, so it looks great, even under close
scrutiny. Take a lap around and you'll see uniformly straight body
panels, well-fitted doors, and tinted windows that still have their
even pigmentation intact. Even better, the level of functionality
it features is downright unusual for a car of its era.
The black cloth interior is a definite beneficiary of this
Chrysler's ultra-light usage. You'll find only the slightest
evidence of wear inside, even on the surfaces of the front bucket
seats, and the upgraded LED interior lighting creates quite an
effect as you lower yourself into the driver's position. By the
time this Conquest rolled off the assembly line, a wider array of
comfort and convenience offerings had become the norm including
steering wheel-mounted controls for the AM/FM/Cassette stereo,
power windows and door locks, rear defrost and an accompanying
wiper arm that works just as intended - and even a factory air
conditioning system that blows just as strong and cold as you could
want.
The fuel-injected and turbo-charged, 2.6-liter inline 4-cylinder
engine packs plenty of power into its relatively compact
displacement and is running smoothly while pulling with plenty of
conviction. And, with just a little over 17,800 miles logged, it's
really just now coming into its prime. It sits in a well-maintained
compartment and pairs with a 4-speed automatic transmission that
shifts without issue. Four-wheel power disc brakes bring this
seldom-seen Chrysler to prompt stops with minimal effort.
