[those arethe best pictures I can find... screen shots from the movie]</P>


The Dodge Turbo Interceptor pace car built by Chrysler and PPG Industries for $1.5 million. It was used in a movie called "The Wraith." Filmed in outside of Tuscon, Arizona, in 1986, stared Charlie Sheen and Nick Cassavettes. There were six copies of the car that were built for the movie. The car was rear-wheel-drive, power by a 2.2L Cosworth twin-turbo in-line four.This car was written about in a book called "dream cars" several years back. These cars were powered by a 2.2 liter, twin intercooled turbo, dohc, pumping out a supposed 440 horsepower!!!

No I don't, however they did have it on display for a while at the Walter P. Chrysler Museum. I saw it there took a picture and the negitive didn't turn out sorry!</P>

Do you know if it is still there? I would love to see it in person and take some pictures of it. <img border="0" src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0"> <img border="0" src=smileys/smiley17.gif border="0">

I think it is off exhibit right now, they change exhibits every three months. But I could be wrong!</P>

Where can I find more pictures of this car?! I'm a certified mopar nut but can only find a few pics of this car.

Also check out Big_Bad_Woulf's photo gallery...

it's just hard to see the pics, it won't show

Cool - and thanks... Just found this site (while searching for this car actually). Good luck to the guy making one. My current projects are a built engine swap for the wifes sunbird and my future project is my 85 Laser with a built 3.0. Nothing major...

I love that car as well , it can be seen at www.thewraithcar.com The fella is restoring one of the movie cars and has plenty of info on the car. The dvd can be had from Platinum disc corporation P.O. Box2798 LaCrosse, WI. 54602-2798. Hope this helps my fello nut cases PV.

Those 2.2's are well built bullet proof engines. I remember the Chrysler TC Maserati's using a turbo 2.2 engine with lotus 4 valve heads putting out 225 HP.

I would love to see Chrsyler bring back the 2.2's as a replacement to the 2.4's but doubt that will happen as the 2.4 is part of the world engines made for multiple automakers. But maybe Dodge may make a new line of small sports cars using purely dodge mechanics and technology and stick in that 2.2! :D

I am a 2.2 nut as well , I have killed many Dodges but never ths engine. I have a Daytona 2.2 turbo 2 and I love this motor, but the Shelby has fallen to pieces(what a shame) I would love to build an Wraith car of my own . Dare to dream. PV.

From what I understood, the current 2.0L/2.4L DOHCs were supposed to be based off of the 2.2/2.5L SOHC with Mitsubishi heads. I agree that I would like to see the replacement for the 2.4L be a 100% Chrysler design (not Mitsubishi or Hyndaui). Here is what I would make if I was in charge. Take this engine http://www.valiant.org/ausval.html and chop off two cylinders just like they did with the 5.2L (318) and 4.7L SOHC, add dual spark plugs per cylinder to meet emission standards, fuel inject it, and start putting it in the car line up.

I've never seen that car before, very interesting. It looks wicked cool too!
