Hmmm. I haven't been following too much, but here's my guesses. If they aren't it I have no idea.
82 grand national sport coupe
80 "riviera" turbocharged (the rest of the years were s type or t type)

1988 - Thrifty CSX-T
The 1988 CSX-Ts were built for Thrifty Car Rental. The differences from the previous year were 15x6.5 Shelby wheels, and the colors were mainly white with blue and silver trim. There were 1000 built, again with no options.

1987 Chrysler Lebaron Convertible
Indy 500 Pace CarThis was red, with replicas in other colors. Three pace cars were prepared for the Indy 500 race, with three point seat belts, and an underhood halon fire-extinguisher. The heavy duty alternator and battery supplied power for the special strobe lights and communication system; they used Chrysler 5 spoke wheels and removed the air conditioner to save weight. Chrysler made "sticker" replicas of these cars with the stock Turbo I running gear and eggshell wheels. Lester Dixon has a letter from Michael J Ray, district sales manager for Chrysler Motors, dated April 6 1988, stating that 1,000 1987 pace cars were sold nationwide. There was also a commemorative jacket with the 1987 Chrysler LeBaron pace car logo.

About this quiz, it must be something very obvious we are all missing. An "under 1200 car run" is a pretty good amount as far as turbo cars go.
I seem to think that I grew up in the "turbo era" of 1976 and up and I've read and still have alot of the old car magazines/brochures, but this is really baffling. Heck, I even subscribed to Turbo magazine since its infancy.
Dennis, we have a smart bunch of guys giving good answers but we're just not able to solve this one at the moment.

Grasping at straws
One thing I've learned, there sure were a lot of ulgy crap cars made back then.What about the:
1988 New Yorker Turbo
The 1988s were marketed as "New Yorker Turbo" alongside the "new" New Yorker introduced that year.
If you can't tell, I'd love to have a copy of the "100 years of GM" to go with all my other reference material.
Ditto on that! I'd like to add it to my library as well.

1991 Spirit R/T
1,208 Dodge Spirit R/Ts were outfitted with a 224hp/220 Ibs-ft torque Turbo III drivetrain (less the Shelby limited slip differential). R/Ts were capable of sprinting to 60 mph in 6 seconds, covering a quarter-mile in 14.7 seconds, topping out at over 140 mph; the vented four-wheel disc brakes with optional ABS could haul it right back to a stop in a hurry. The combination of balance shafts in the engine, slick-shifting A-568 manual trans with 3.85 final drive, rigid chassis, a long list of luxury options and judicious suspension work, made for a remarkably smooth synthesis of muscle and refinement for around $20,000.
Last guess, for awhile

A little late replying.
Actually there are more than 12 from the factory. . .

1984 Dodge Rampage:
In final model year, a Shelby Rampage was built. There wasn't a lot of time spent in its production so it was essentially a normal 2.2L Rampage, although it was turbo charged (as in the GLHS, given a body kit, and Shelby decals. Only 258 were produced when the Rampage was pulled from production. This was due to poor marketing, coupled with a disinterest in the car/truck body style with the masses. Only one dealership in California was able to get the Shelby Rampage before it was pulled from the assembly line. A concept of a car using the Rampage body was drawn during the final production year. It was titled the Shelby Streetfighter. Two were actually built by Shelby, but they were never sold, with one of them going to the designer of the car. The project was scrapped, along with the Dodge Rampage production

Nope, I had 51. Can you list the codes or give us a picture we can read? I'd like to compare the codes.:smile:

Everyone been busy today......
First order of business....still no winners.....and before we head down every Chrysler car produced none will be the correct answer.
Also, the answer will be a car that 99% of the readers of this forum will be familar with.....so its not some off the wall car model.
54rich wants one of my 100 year GM books.... I only have a few left. Here is the deal you keep all the clues in one post from the clues I have given and a post on all the wrong answers so at least they are on the current age and send me a pm with your address and I will send you a copy.
I will sell 2 other copies and that is all I can sell as I only have a few left and I need them. The book is not the standard 8 1/2 by 11 size its like 14 inches tall so its not easy to ship.
If you are interested in a copy send me a pm and I will tell you the price I want. Again only will sell 2 as I only had 12 available....I bought the last ones from the publisher....I wish I had learned about it sooner.

You might hold the holy grail in lowest number of codes...please post a clear shot, also photo of your interior, exterior and engine shot. If you indeed have 50 codes its worth $125 in prizes.....

Although this guess is wrong....here is a quickee trivia question based on the answer given above.
What other GM vehicles used that same dash cluster?
Contest open to any readers except those in the Buick business.
Prize value? Make it $15.....
clock is ticking
I am going by memory on my answer but I am 99% certain I am correct. I think this should be guessed rather quickly.
