When it comes to car collecting, oftentimes, it isn't the fastest or most powerful cars that are the most interesting to those of us who are true enthusiasts. Yes, 800 hp restomods will always be interesting, of course, but when we come across a car like this 1989 Chrysler TC by Maserati, we can't help but stop and take notice. Built on a modified version of second-gen Chrysler's K platform, this is the inaugural year for this partnership car and one of just 3,764 units made for 1989 (with a .....
total of 7,300 made from 1989 to 1991). Fully repainted in its Royal Cabernet factory color, this unique vehicle comes with both a manual convertible top and a removable hard top to give it three distinctive looks.
Inside is where the TC really separated itself from its LeBaron GTC cousin. A plush two-tone hand-stitched leather interior featuring exceptionally comfortable bucket seats that hold you snuggly in place like a hug from a loved one on your birthday highlights this luxurious motif. Power locks, windows, mirrors, and, of course, seats offer all the modern amenities supported during that time period. A woodgrain dash panel houses the easy-to-use HVAC controls, while an upgraded and Bluetooth-capable Kenwood AM/FM/CD/AUX head unit adds in a bit of more recent tech to enhance the soundtrack of any road trip this car embarks on.
Under the hood, we find a Daytona-spec 2.2-liter turbocharged inline-four-cylinder engine, which was only available in the TC for the 1989 model year. When new, this potent motor pumped out 160 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque. That power is funneled through an A413 three-speed automatic transaxle before being sent down to the front fifteen-inch wheels, where a set of 205/60R-15 rubber waits to put power to the pavement.
