Daily Beater - 2003 Chrysler Pt Lozer

[Duntz00]

Couple months back I got tired of putting around $100 a week in gas in my 00 GMC Sierra so I was talking to a buddy about needing a work car, he told me he would sale me the Lozer(what he called it and I like it ) for $3,000 with 38k on the clock so I brought it home.

Its a 03 Chrysler Pt Lozer with a 5spd trans that was rebuilt by my buddy at 11k miles. He installed a cold air intake, Eibach 2in lowering kit, srt4 neon wheels painted matte black, tinted windows, and a jvc cd player. When the car was fixed it was painted matte black with a clear coat, all emblems but the rear hatch handle where removed, and the grille was left black.

The car does pretty well on fuel and has descent power for what it is, I guess being a standard helps quiet a bit. It gets 25-28mpg driving mostly back roads and about 10miles or so on the highway.

Now onto the pics:

i work on alot of those. if you have any problems with it, let me know. they do some wierd stuff sometimes.
otherwise, they arent too bad of a vehicle to drive. they handle descent. the 5spd is a big plus. you can change the clutch in those in about an hour on a hoist.


edit-damn deer

Yea I never thought Id be driving a pt lozer around but it was cheap enough and a 5spd so I figured I could live with it and its been a really nice car to drive and fun too.
Ive heard that chrysler did some weird stuff on the lozer's and Ill hollar at ya if I need help on anything. Guy I bought it from told me about a turbo pt in a local junk yard that still has all the motor parts and stuff, thought about doing a motor swap but I figured I would lose milage due to having to much fun driving it.
