Hi from France
my name is Gilles, I'm 43 and I own 5 Chrysler
a 92 V6 Saratoga (same as Acclaim)
a 90 V6 minivan Voyager
A 92 2.5 Turbo Daytona Shelby
a 92 V6 Le Baron convertible
and I just bought two months ago a 94 Chrysler Vision (an Eagle Vision rebadged Chrysler for Europe)

European version of these american cars have some differences with cars you know in the US, specially for lights and mirrors.

here is the Saratoga:

Paint is peeling on roof, trunk and hood, as all Acclaim and Spirit does. Seats were grey with red stripes, it looks like the Spirit R/T ones in US, no?




I found a 89 Saratoga with brown leather interior in a junkyard and took off all I can: seats, wheels, dashboard, doors etc...



Since 2 years, I also bought a lot of used or NOS parts on Ebay motors and now my Chrysler Saratoga looks like a US Plymouth Acclaim!
Well wheel rim, chrome body mouldings, trunk rack, NOS grille and leather steering wheel, US red taillights and headlights and I recently fixed a steering column with shift instead of the shift on the floor.




I'm now looking for a complete brown carpet (for column shift), so if somebody have this in stock...I'm interested in!

What it looks like now






Next step this summer, a new paint job!

A picture of some US car I've got:

Hi I'm an owner of a Spirit ES, I was wondering if you still had access to this vehicle. As an American I'm very interested in the European lights. Would you be interested in taking off the headlights, tail lights, and trunk lighting harness for me? If you are interested please Email me at the.big.shelby@gmail.com I would love to get my hands on those.
