Convertible 1g dsm [Merged 11-7]

[1glaserturbo]

Turbo? AWD? 5spd?

I believe it was, I don't remember very well if it wasn't or was.

 

[THE REAL DEAL]

That screams girls car.

with some mods though it wouldn't look quite so girlish. the way that looks stock, i agree. it kinda reminds me of a late 80s/early 90s cavalier. with some better looking wheels and suspension, i think it would look great.

 

[briggs248]

id rock it

 

[Synapses]

I dont like it, looks weird

 

[Defiant]

Interesting. I'd not heard of this car before. Is it in private hands, or is it the factory's? Was it factory-commissioned, or done by an individual? Home, or one of the conversion companies (like the ones who did the Mustangs, the 280Z, 300ZX, etc.)?

 

[silver bullit]

I like both the convertible and the gullwing ones and i am curious about that to.

 

[snooopy365]

actually I like the targa look way more ...

[Too big.]

but there not "rainproof" its always wet inside

 

[slipstream808]

Wooooww. I like the targa look a lot more.

I was also looking at them doors they open straight up in the air.
I was wondering if that was a option on the 1g back then?
Why did they never go through with the convertiable 1g?
I dont like the way it looks anyhow.

No.

That's probably what market research told them, too. There was also a huge panic in the convertible world about proposed NHTSA rollover protection for drop-tops, bringing to the world things like the Mercedes pop-up roll bar.

It's a miracle the DSM was ever given AWD. The sales numbers were lousy.

Found these pics awhile back while searching for the Eclipse 1g convertible.

Found this page on eBone on the Plymouth X2S .. a brochure on the new DSM

1989 Plymouth X2S Experimental Concept Brochure - eBay (item 330241864164 end time Jul-04-08 13:14:15 PDT)

... Looks like Plymouth were the first ones to be christened as a DSM with Eagle and Eclipse to follow.

-DSM

I was scrolling through drag times the other day and saw this. I was wondering if anyone else has ever seen it? i Think its a pretty cool idea. If it werent purple id drive the hell out of it.

He's a member here - I just can't remember his user name or the title of the thread that he started about doing that to his car. It was several years ago....

If you go to one of the MOD events you may see this factory concept 1G spyder.

I was surfing google and I came across a 1989 Plymouth X2S and Mitsubishi Roadster...But with further surfing I found no traces of this car what so ever. Is this just a concept car that never came about? Is this one of the first diamond star motors? I was just curious about the car and wondered if anyone knows anything about this very appealing roadster?

 

[Lofty]

Holy Jesus, that's so sexy!

 

[tenn-gsx]

That was the prototype. It never made it to production.

 

[Lofty]

Yeah, just wiki'd it.
Wiki led on to some... information that I thought you'd all like


The Plymouth X2S is currently being stored at the DaimlerChrysler Detroit Office Warehouse. It has been seen stored outside, in an L-shaped area on the south side of the building.

I think, I can, go find it.

 

[dsmzoom]

That car will be mine..I will google earth its location
