Here is a unique opportunity to own a 1988 Conquest that has been rebuilt for street or even track use if needed. Over $5,000 in parts (not including labor) has been spent on this effort which ended in the Summer of 2015. Here is most (not all) of what was done:
One complete .040 engine taken out of the car and disassembled. Engine upon inspection will need a rebuild. Engine was running strong with new TD06-20G turbo built by Mikes Turbo, a performance Marnal Head, solid cam, rebuilt throttle body and distributor.
**IF YOU DO NOT NEED THE 20G TURBO, THE MARNAL HEAD OR THE REBUILT INTAKE MANIFOLD AND THROTTLE BODY ETC. I WILL REDUCE THE PRICE TO $4,000.
Rear suspension was completely removed, de-rusted along with all brake shields and painted with 3 coats of black anti-rust paint.
Differential checked, Cleaned and painted. New oil seals and refilled with 140 Syn.
Axle's removed and dismantled. CV joints were inspected, cleaned, lubricated. New O.E.M boots and clamps installed.

The Car itself: This car came out of NC and is straight and rust free except for 2 spots on the left rear quarter. One dime size and only surface and the other lower front which needs attention. Frame rails and floor completely solid. Car was repainted about 7 years ago and looks fine with a good black cloth interior and working auto restraining and lap belts. Trunk is excellent. Hatch, wiper and de-fog good. Replaced the power antenna with original. Headlight mechanical works well as does the entire electrical system. Double Dim GPS/disk/stereo installed. Steering wheel replaced with better leather. Dash is in good shape. New front Kumo performance tires and very good Kumo rears. Replaced knox box, cleaned fuse link connections and changed all wired fuses. Battery new and tray conditioned. New ground wires. To save weight the A/C was removed. The ABS was also removed as it is useless for an experienced driver. Overall a very nice car.
Engine parts:
New O.E.M TPS ( not an after market)
Rebuilt Throttle Body, Flow tested stock injectors, new injector clips, sensors, connectors and wires where needed.
New TD06-20G Turbo built by Mikes turbo(ported)less than 100 miles on it.

New AEM A/F gage and sensor.
New (lifetime) starter
1G MAS upgrade with chrome mount and K/N filter

Electric cooling fans replaced with fan clutch and shroud
New OEM Throttle cable

ENGINE: Newer engine was purchased last year which came with a new performance AMC Head from Spain with solid cam, ARP head bolts, larger valves according to the machine shop. Ran well, however the timing chain rail fractured leaving debris in pan and is now out of the car and dismantled. So now I have 2 blocks one hot tanked, both .040. and the crank on one was hot tanked and needs finishing. Head checked and good! So you have almost 2 engines that can be rebuilt or put your own engine in*!
TRANSMISSION: The stock transmission was checked out by Atomic Transmission last summer. They replaced the filter and fluid. Transmission was rebuilt when I purchased the car (about 4 years ago) and the only issue with it was that the OD worked fine but could not be canceled. So, you had an automatic 4-speed. That was fine, however I purchased another transmission with torque converter that you can have rebuilt at your discretion.
Reason for Selling: Have 2 identical cars. The one I am selling was going to my Son. We were not able to complete it before he had to leave back to school so I gave him mine. I am too old for drifting, track or fast.
Selling for 5K which is less than the hard costs I have in it and not including extensive labor or what the car originally cost... Includes a spare hot tanked .040 engine block,crank,pistons and other spare parts and spare automatic transmission*. This is a great opportunity for someone to make this car run without worrying about whats going on below or above if you know what I mean... Approx. 100 miles were on most of these new parts! Enthusiasts now have a clear choice to either Put your engine in or build what is here! With the engine out you have a clear bay..
Will also consider a Trade up or down for a Jeep/AWD/SUV/or? All questions will be answered in a prompt manner. Thanks for your consideration!
