Wow.

It's the first time in my 35 years of american cars hobbying that I see a part of a Chrysler Turbine for sale. But if I were you, I'd put that thing on eBay. I'm pretty sure it would go higher than that.

Desirable by Turbine collectors? Yes,

No, HELL YES! Especially with very very few produced. Damn that thing is super cool. Best Of Luck With The Sale.

Speaking of Turbine Cars.....

Dang, so tempting. I'm a big Turbine enthusiast. I've seen 5 of the remaining Turbines; 4 left to go. I can't justify spending that for something that will sit on a shelf though, especially with the currency conversion rate now.

Wow! I would love to have that! Killer!

Do you have any of the history of this item? How did it come to be off the car?

How did it come to be off the car?

Alot of the turbine's themselves were taken out before scrapping the bodies, because they were made in the states. I'm guessing a smart loader operator, or possibly former owner, or dealership employee removed it. Given it's coolness factor and knowing the car's fate. Probably the neatest item ever posted for sale on this forum.
