i dont know if it was considered a "spyder" or just a convertable talon(if theres a difference). And im pretty sure that they did make talon convertables to sell in cananda, and that its not just one with the bumpers and lights switched out. Ill do some research to find out for sure then let you know.


Is the car white? It's probably, oh now my age is showing, I can't remember his name for the life of me. He had a Spyder that was converted to Talon specs. It was originally an Eclipse though. There were no Talon verts built at the Normal plant.

EDIT: His screen name is 97GS-TSpyder. Here is his gallery, the car was a Spyder converted to a Talon. He sold it when he moved to Japan. http://www.dsmtuners.com/gallery/browseimages.php?do=member&imageuser=7880
 
That convertable talon in the link above is bad a$$! And as far as the canadian talons go, i couldnt they made in the IL plant, then when shipped to Cananda, they could have been modified? Somewhat like how Ford sends out the Mustangs, and they are then turned into the Saleens or Roush's? Next time i talk to this guy ill ask him about it. He is from Ohio.
 
Targa Is Beautiful The covertable is nice looking but i think the targa is soo hott thats why i will be doing project targa laser soon

I understand that you're new and the thought of bringing something new to the table seems exciting. If it were true don't you think that this, the most popular DSM site on the net, would hae information about it? I don't mean to be rude but your friend lied to you to make himself seem cooler. It happens, now you can just let him know.

Just an update on this. I was working at DOW - Detroit Office & Warehouse (a DaimlerChrysler building near Dequindre & Davison), my boss says "Hey, come check this out..." We walk out back and there it is!!!! The Plymouth X2S coupe concept. It was just sitting outside! It had like 125 miles on it. It looks to be the same exact setup you'd find in a 90 Laser RS Turbo. Best of all - the exhaust routes out the rear bumper -- totally sweet looking.

I asked, and I can take pictures if/when I go back.


Get back to us if this is actually true and when you get pics of it.
 
So I was driving around town, and out of no where I spotted this 1G convertible in some garage.












Can you guys believe it? ROFL :p

It's in even less pieces now. I'll snap some pics tomorrow.

I'm tempted to turn what's left into a large go-kart.
 
I've had a few of those "rare" convertibles myself. Actually have one on the trailer right now waiting to go to the recyclers.
 
I never knew they made a factory 1G convertible prototype other than the really early one. This was at the 06 MOD in Illinois.

Im surprised the car was a Talon. I would have thought it was an Eclipse since that was the highest of the three models.
 
Are you serious that was the prototype. I have never seen a soft top 1g.

Kind of reminds me of an RX-7

Looks like a mitsu hubcap to me .
