Hi!
> Nice PH41 survivor - one of 16,223 built in 1984.
Well, that is interesting information. I did not know about the production
numbers for that particular model. Know of any interesting web sites for
these cars?
It has some problems--the biggest is rust--but I really do like driving it.
It's a great car to drive around town. The other problems are broken power
steering (the pump shaft seal is bad) and a brake booster that recently
died. I've been working on both problems when I get the time to do so.
Previous owner put a new A/C compressor on it, so if I ever got really
ambitious...I could think about cold air. The engine's rear main seal is
leaky, not sure I want to deal with replacing it. It's not using a lot of
oil...
But there is the rust. It's taken away a huge amount of the floor pans, and
I don't know what I'm going to do about it. I'd like to get adventurous and
maybe weld some new ones in, but there's that $100 number again.
This one has the Mitsubishi 2.6L "Silent Shaft" engine, and it sure did have
carb problems when I got it. The choke didn't work, and the secondary was
stuck open. Fortunately, I came across a heck of a deal for the Chrysler
factory service manuals on eBay...and they led the way to solving all the
carb problems.
I know that if I ever found another one that wasn't so eaten up by rust and
that ran and drove without issue...I would not hesitate to make an offer on
it. Good luck if you end up getting the one you're looking at. Fuel
injection would be nice.
