Description of 1992 Dodge Spirit ES

Original 1992 Dodge Spirit ES Turbo 5-spd with TII conversion and Dual core FMIC as well as 46 trim .63 A/R turbo, ported head with deg'd 460 lift high duration cam, 2 piece fully ported intake with 52mm TB, forged bottom end Venolias with shot peened TII rods ARP hardware and baffled oil pan, rebuilt trans with 6 puck ceramic clutch.
Walbro 255l pump, AFPR with +40 (52lb) inj's and custom calibration. 2 1/2" I/C pipes with modded Talon BOV. 20psi boost gauge with Halltec AFR gauge. Moroso big filter catch can. A/C converted to R134.

Owned since 06 and has been summer driven only with meticulous maintenance and up keep. Runs 17psi on 93-94 octane pump gas making around 300hp and 350tq. Build is capable of much more but really no reason as it checks all the boxes as it is. This Spirit is what 99% of people who attempt to build these car are shooting for, Great power with stock like comfort and drivability as well as great (35mpg @65mph) economy and reliability.
I've taken pics as I would want to see them from any Turbo Dodge I would be interested in buying to show over all condition. Power train has always been bone dry with no leaks and has performed flawlessly over the time I've owned the car. Interior is the cleanest I've ever seen in a Spirit. I pulled the seats and had carpet shampoo'd the first year I owned it and was only small areas of surface rust starting on floor at that time. Scrubbed them down, rust converted, then 3 coats of por15 and car has remained in same condition ever since.
This is a Very Rare car. Even more so then the R/T's. Production #'s for 1992 Spirit ES Turbo;

Only around 40% got the O/H console and Illuminated visors, So this Spirit ES Turbo is most likely 1 of about 20-30 produced in Indy Red with these options and who knows, maybe 1 of 10 or less still around today.
The Good; This is a turn key needs nothing but proper octane fuel and regular oil changes drive anywhere car with enough power on tap to satisfy any driver.
Exhaust note is Mean, but zero drone at hwy speed. This is the best exhaust compromise between performance and keeping your hearing in tact that I have experienced in one of these cars.
Working cold A/C as well as cruise/ tilt PW/ DL's CD player ect.
Passed provincial inspection last year, brakes, clutch and new Kumho tires went on 3 years ago but only put around 2400kms (1500miles) since then.
Clutch is tame and broken in properly so anyone who drives a stick can drive this car. Just ask the wife!
The bad; O/H console stopped working 2 years ago and I haven't had time to find a fix for it.
Spirit is running 2 1/2" SRT-4 exhaust with straight through muff/ res on end. I used a spray can ceramic coating 7-8 years ago when exhaust was done that lasted great for about 3 years, then started cracking and holding moisture in, then flaking off. So exhaust looks like poop, but still solid, just rusty looking.
I've molded this grocery getter into the best of all worlds cruiser. Had Iboc's all around but front felt like crap so now has mopar perf struts with MP G-body springs and Iboc's in rear only. Was going to track it just to see how it would do, but never had the time and it was never a priority because I already have my track car!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wambNdfnu5M
Will help in any way I can as far as working with your shipper or even meeting you at border as I'm central southern Manitoba and only 45min away.Originally brought Spirit up from US so importing should be no problem, plus it's over 25 years old now.
Any Q's don't hesitate to ask. Compare at over 20,000 to build to this level of performance/ drivability and condition. People are putting 10's of thousands into these cars now with mixed results and for many, constant failures. This is a time proven performer that's turn key ready to go!
Anyone wanting a Built Spirit should be doing the math;
If your lucky enough to find a body and interior in this condition 25-3500.00
Properly built long block with ported head, intake and exhaust mani/ turbo, all MP gaskets with ARP hardware, proper keepers/springs ect 7500.00
Properly rebuilt trans with 500hp clutch 1500-2000
Tires/brakes/ suspension ect 1500-2000
Cal with +40 inj's FMIC with hardpipes and BOV, catch can 3" CAI and filter ect 1000-1500
So 14,000-16500.00 done right putting it together Yourself IF you have a clue what you're doing. Plus prob 2-5 years of your life.
20,000 plus if you're paying someone to put it all together and you better hope They know what they're doing.
Not to mention a comfortable driving working A/C cruiser that's easy to drive.
If you're serious, shoot me a PM, I'm more than reasonable. You could fly in and drive the Spirit back for 6500.00USD
