$1500 5 speed pt loser turbo with good wheels

Aren't these essentially SRT-4s with weird bodies and the very worst things ever to work on?  Even if true this one seems like a heckuva deal.

Weird body, not that bad to work on arguably easier to do some things than a neon, PT Cruiser GT is the same engine, turbo, and injectors as a 2004+ SRT4 smaller intercooler and heat soak prone aluminum intake results in 215hp. 06 + GT Cruiser has a plastic intake and 230hp. Non intercooled PT Cruiser Turbo is 180hp same engine and turbo as an SRT4 no intercooler, small injectors and a tune to match. 

I paid $450 for an 03 GT auto with a cracked exhaust manifold and broken radio a few weeks ago. Took it out for some burnouts last night it's entertaining.

The 180Hp PT is the exact same motor, intercooler and all. Only the tune is different. A MP Stage 1 kit will net the same horsepower as it will in a PT/GT.

These are ~$1,000, so half of new?  $500.

That would definitely be one of the most unique budget re-coup items...probably score you a few Concours points just because of the story.

Oh wait, nevermind. That hearse has the L99 V8, which is only 4.3L. No LT1 goodness. Pass...

The L99 struck me as odd, until I realized it started life as a sedan.

I have a Volvo 240 DL 5 speed I have been thinking about selling it would budget challenge friendly. The reason why I am selling it because I found a B5 Passat wagon.
