Cool Chrysler Turbine Car F/S



Five are in museums, two are owned by Chrysler, one is owned by Jay Leno and this one is up for grabs. Part of the Frank Kleptz Collection

Lots of photos at the link above

EDIT: OOPS! It sold. Unknown on the price. It was never listed in the ad.

I've always liked the look of those Chrysler Turbine cars, and is that 40K plus miles on it?
That seems like a lot of miles for one of those to have. Must be actually relatively drivable with that many miles.

They were in service every day for two years.

I will guess it sold to a unique Pacific Northwest Muscle car collection.

It would definitely be a great addition to their collection. One of the crown jewels, seeing as it's the only one that was ever "flipped." Jay Leno will never sell his nor will the museums who have them and of course neither will Chrysler

The same company (Hyman Ltd.) that sold the Turbine Car is now offering this package for a cool $100,000.
