We just can't make up a better line than used by the seller to describe this 1986 Plymouth Caravelle. The turbo sedan also features a cassette deck, and enough burgundy velour to make even Ricardo Montalban jealous. Where was this guy in 1986 when Plymouth needed a catchy ad slogan for this fine Chrysler Corporation K platform derivative?

Ricardo would hold out for the Corrrinthian Leather.
You know, I thought this would be way too rich for my blood. Then I noticed - "No Reserve" !!
Momma's getting a new car tonite!!
I'm glad I'm not the only one that stalks ebay looking at crappy 80's cars.
"Feel the Turbo Activated to Serve You Forever." That is my new catchphrase. Forever.
A 4 liter four cylinder that's ridiculous.
"COAST TO COAST, I SET THE GOOD PACE, OTHERS FOLLOW."
this guy is rad
"On E-Bay, Turbo activates you!"
Hey, the transmission "swifts good" and it has "cruise control cassette"! Now you can just stick that cassette in and go! It looks like it also comes with a few dead bodies in the trunk. Either that or the turbo engine that he's talking about is not actually installed in car at this time.
@KVHnik:
Ahhh,the "K-Car squat",both my Reliant and Aries had that condition in varying degrees....But they both swifted good.
This one must be a real one-of-kind with that 4.0 turbo.Damn!My '89 Turbo LeBaron 'vert only has a 2.5,hell even my old '84 Shelby Charger only had a 2.2...........
"Maintained as the one and only.
Get. The Fuck. Out.
Good thing those scratches "DO NOT REMOVE FROM THE OVERALL BEAUTY OF THE CAR."
Great pics, too. I appreciate that Chrysler was kind enough to help those of us who can't tell "Left" from "Right" out with that state of the art gauge cluster. I'd also be willing to kick in an extra two, maybe even three dollars for the primo job Elijah did on cleaning the engine.
Perhaps the seller is a teacher of Engrish at the local high school...
Seriously, though, this would seriously make for a killer sleeper/hoonmobile. Just be sure to put its picture on the next jalop t-shirt underneath the "FEEL THE TURBO ACTIVATED TO SERVE YOU FOREVER" in big, bold lettering.
@TomAnderson:
Sign me up. This is the best line in an eBay auction, ever.
Awesome! Takes me back to my high school days. My best friend (who was a yr older and thus got his license WAY before me) inherited one of these bad boys from his grandpa. It was exactly like this except in gray. That thing was AWESOME :)
I can taste the Taco Bell....hear Zeppelin III blaring through the stereo....and smell the, well, you know :)
You know, adding a turbo to a K-Car is a lot like when Gazoo (sp?) premiered on the Flintstones. Nothing like adding a something confusing and prone to complete failure to something that is already in the toilet
The Cassette deck is nice, but I'm all over that ABSAM/FM radio. The station selection is better than satellite.
"Feel the Turbo Activated to Serve You Forever"
Now put THAT on a jalopnik t-shirt and I'll vote for it! Hell, I'll even buy it!

What was the cause of the squat?
Oh, boy. This guy's other auctions are all for Air Jordans. Location: Boise/, China.
Yes, with the slash.
@Trick:
What was the cause of the squat?
Apparently flat crappy rear suspension parts.Don't know if it was shocks/struts,springs....But you'll rarely if ever see a K-car that isn't sagging in the ass end.
Buyer beware: this car is sold as. Further, anything not known to the seller in the car is not the seller's responsibility.
That car is pure automotive BC.
Birth Control. I.e. You're never gonna get laid driving one of those. I think the Hyundai Santa Fe is another BC car.
I kinda want to buy it just to meet the seller.
Then again, I'll probably end up in a few trash bags in his basement while he wears my face as a mask.
Do you WANT a turbo 4.0l 4-banger? What's that sound? Conrods!
This guy seems to have sprung the extra five bucks for the Engrish-as-a-second-ranguage crass that includes adjectives and punctuation.
