- Don't you hate it when you've typed out a long drawn out paragraph about something. Only to watch it disappear into thin air because technology sucks? Yea well here we go, trying this for the second time. So this is quite a rare sight here. Thats right, turbo charged Dodge Neon rolled into the gate this morning. Seems to be pretty complete and in fair shape considering it was a cheap "performance " car from the Chrysler brand. It held up alright. I wouldn't say it was taken great care of but Im sure it would be a good parts car or if you really wanted a project you could rebuild the entire thing! Its complete minus some spark plugs and wires. Maybe we can round some up and see if she lives? If someone wants this car step up to the plate quick! She won't sit here long! Bring a grand and trailer it home ! keys, title and car sold together. Thanks for watching, drop a comment down below and let us know what you think !
Rest in pieces, you will be remembered on my copy of NFS underground...
Same
I wanna get that game again
This wasn't even in any NFS's haha. Especially not Underground. They had the damn slow 1st gen haha
Think there was one in a Forza game. Don't think in Gran Turismo 4 at least.
@@cipherthedemonlord8057 yes Forza had it and GT as well
This car was abused it’s entire life. Nothing but hard shifts and launches rip.
I hard shift an launch my 99 ranger every time I drive it
That thing has prob taken abuse since it rolled off the lot in the early 00s
Kamryn G that's because a Ranger can survive a lot more than these. Knew someone who parked his in a creek bed and got caught in a flash flood later. When the water went down it fired up. Still runs 14 years later.
Kenneth Wallace oh I’ve been through 5 clutch’s since I owned it because the dumb inside slave cylinder inside the transmission failed 4 times
@@kamryn7496 you're so cool for abusing a truck! as long as you are the one that's payin for it :)
If I wasn't up here in Canada, I would be over there in a heartbeat to grab this beauty
Someone took the spark plugs out to do a compression test, and it must have failed that so badly they didn't bother putting them back in.
Or used them in his other car
The front end likes the MG LF
Looks like it found its way home
When I was in high school Neon SRT4's were portrayed all over the news as death machines. Kids scamming their parents into buying as a first car since "it's just a neon". These cars would flat out smoke most any regular street car back in 2004.
Stage 1 is from mopar the turbo setup. Was a good car for its generation idk with these modern 4 cylinders cranking out what they are if they can keep up but either way its literally a classic. Gonna take alot of money and time to rebuild this one. Previous owner of 3 bought wrecked rebuilt profited thousands from selling. Fun to drive. Either way it's your choice best of luck! Dont see them much
I guess we'll have to find out if this car will DODGE the crusher!
A wonderful appetizer for the crusher
My opinion I like it besides the blue on the inside nice build not to rice
They still got it
hope fully some one will fork over a thousand bucks and drag it home as a rebuild project.
The srt4 model specifically came with a factory sub. Guess the previous owner snagged it to put in their new beater
Crush it and do the world a service. Friend had one of the PT Cruisers with the 2.4 Turbo, biggest lemon on wheels I've seen. Constant issues, wiring and the works.
That was super cool
Actually a popular choice for rally cross and some SCCA groupings. Weird cars.
Shoulda have a coupe version of this
Stage 1 refers to the tuning program from then Mopar Performance that utilized a set of 577 cc injectors and an ecu for the 03 models and just an ecu for the 04-05 models and Diablosport is a company that makes and sells handheld programmers and tuning software
Deserves to be where it is
Jay smart, for President.
You should take the wiper blades they look brand new
Would have taken that wideband
Danm jay thats the one
My sister used to have a neon... It was a really good car even for its age and 260,000 miles. Unfortunately she slid into a cargo truck and it destroyed the front.
I wish I could get this
Cool Car 😀
I remember when they were Plymouth Neons. That one looks like it lived a hard life. Hood looks fiberglass
We have a white one, had baby blue emblems on it. Car was so cheap the emblems were just stickers...
@@MXguy95 yep, surprised you didn't say anything about the paint. They were known for paint flaking off
Sold as Chrysler Neon in the UK. We never got a turbo version as far as I know.
Plymouth breeze is what i remember. Eh still better then ford focus lol
In Switzerland they were sold as Chrysler Neon. The Grand Voyager was also sold as a Chryser.
Dude!!! If I could I would get it and fix it back up
Surprised this was scrapped. Bet it's still worth close to a grand as-is.
I bet that sounded like a bumble bee when it ran....haha!
I'll buy it
All Neons with power "wind-ahs" only got front. Cost savings :p
I drove one for awhile they were fun.
Thats crazy that someone wouldn't just take the time to post that locally on craigslist or something, could have gotten much more than scrap in a heartbeat especially if it has a title!
This thing came out right before Tokyo drift . I’m surprised it survived this long !
The neon was a good super cheap car for some one needed one on a budget. It wasn't a great or bad car, it was some were in the middle.
20/20 hind sight as allways.
That car lived on rev limiter it's whole life
Now that’s cool.
I want it as is
You can have that poor thing towed right over to my house, I’ll have it fixed cleaned up and running mint in no time. I love those things
Right I used to hurt people's feelings with my nsrt4 with 320 whp.. I had to tell them to calm down it's just a neon
To bad u don’t have still I’d buy it
The shifter pretty cool.... that's about it
Man, what a shame.
I daily drive an 01 Plymouth, leaks oil, faded paint, but still enjoy the crappy thing.
I'll take it! At my old college there was 2 of these and the guys who owned them made them so fast. I couldnt not believe it. Every sense then I've wanted one. And both were very reliable.
The ordinary Neon came out in 1993 as an '95 model. It's just amazing to see this. I had totally forgotten these cars!!
These things were everywhere(including regular Neons) in the 00's. Then its like after 2011-2012, there were NONE. I don't know what it was about the owners of the SRT-4(and reg Neons too), but they just absolutely trashed these cars, beat the ever living piss out of them, didn't bother to wash them, smashed them up, ghetto modded them, and drove them into the ditch.
Still I'd love to see a built PT Cruiser that runs an 11 second quarter mile(you could get the same turbo motor in a PT Cruiser, aka the Neon wagon)
Must have been a never used car parked and never driven until 2018, then it was finally used, had a nice long life and ended up in crusherland.
OMG no rust at all on the undercarriage. I hate living in the salt belt
Black Hood and Deck lid = HP!
You forgot the Roof = Lightweight
Nice SRT4. As in...hey it needs some love! Its missing the rear wing though.
They were fast in their time. 0-60 in what? 5.3. 0-100 in 13 flat. Mind you this thing had 215hp and 255ft/lb of torque. It was meant to go up against the Imprezza WRX STi, Cobalt SS, Focus SVT (pre ST/RS days) and Civic/RSX at the time. 2002-2008?
This little dude came with Bigger brakes, better/stiffer suspension and of course that boost happy turbo. You all may poo-poo on this little grocery getter but this was during a time when American car companies were trying to be hip and join the FWD crowd. For 20K you could buy this off the lot and have a fun car, especially with SCCA and just dig your heels into it. It was an entry level into the realm of SRT and Dodge. Pure and Fun. Remember the GLH? I don't either. But Mopar has a way of playing with Turbo toys. 5speed turbo caravan rings a bell.
I remember a guy in high school who had a yellow one. Claimed 300 horsepower to the wheels with parts from ma Mopar catalogue. It got me to like boosted fwd cars even though I had a 1991 SuperCoupe Thunderbird.
I haven't seen any of these on the road since my volunteer that owned a purple one (yes, stripped interior, AC removed, rollcage - no it never saw a track) sold it for a Tacoma with AC and plush interior. I still see a bunch of Cobalt SS's though. Parked next to one last week that looked almost new. Go figure.
Stage 2 and 3 was rated at 310 I dynoed mine and it was 288 at the wheels
Fastest car in the world for under 20 grand in it's day. Many still on the road with over 200,000 miles on them.
Jay that3a rare car srt4 stage 1 wow
I had a 97 Plymouth Neon I bought with 51,000 miles..when I sold it.. 10 years later it had 210,000 miles..it was 2 door and red..I miss it a lot...great little car
It's a Neon so there's that. But... it doesn't look horrible and may be fun if you got it running for cheap. Plus turbo and manual.
Ever had a marauder come in?
It’s a shame because the Neon SRT-4 models are actually a lot of fun to drive. It’s a shame it’s in rough shape
Typical Auto Guy they live fast, die Young. Most people don't want to keep up with parts.
I'd love to buy it and fix it
OMG I WANT IT!
Mine was still like new when i let it go,stock as a clock,wish i had it back.
That one old ford 4x4. truck on one of your videos,factory double shocks in front,very rare model,very low production,6cyl standard shift is correct,i had a new one way back,fyi,ford used same frame that year for full size Broncos and f150,frame is two (2) inches shorter than standard f150.
*if you were closer i'd come get it to see if i could make something out of it. there aren't that many of those around any more*
I would want that LOL
Another victim of the Fast and Furious crowd. Ridden hard, put away wet.
Good one
put it up on craigslist some ricer 17 year old will buy it
*Ricer 17 year old has entered the chat*
Dom Muratore Some ricer just had it lul
I think ricer drivers prefer Civics and Accords. There are Ricer Hondas all over New Jersey.
only thing i see useful is the intercooler and pipes also maybe the turbo if its still good
I had a 97 neon coupe and you know how many people wanted to race....I waved them off...I am old I am not into racing my neon lol....
It's definitely in rough shape but it ain't nothing that can't be fixed
A dodge finds its true home.
The official car of Snapback hats, Fruit Loop vape smoke and Chinese name tattoos 👌
Sorry Vapes are for Subarus
These were cool back in the day. If you had an SRT neon, a civic hatch, or a z24 cavalier.. You were balling on a budget.
It look like a race car
A friens of mine had a Crysler Neon about two years ago (I live in Germany), *and I got to drivi it sometimes. I might say: it was quite a fun car to drive, great to toss around corners, sadly the steering pump failed at some point and there where no replacement parts available in all of germany. Well, I can only imagine how mutch fun this srt turbo neon made in corners
MrManniG order from ebay.
Manuel - with 5th, and peanut butter feel to boot.
Great market target badging from the minds at Dodge on this one.
Thanks Jay.
A scrapped burrito lawn mower
It was a stage 1 map by Diablo sport that means it was absolutely thrashed to fuck
It's sad to see another SRT4 run into the ground and sent to the boneyard.
Wish I could have a grand and a trailer to take it home but sadly I don’t a truck or a driver license to drive or get it oufff
that chassis/shell looks pretty damn clean i hope it seens another life some day
I would buy it to fix it up
Make a rally car with it
Nooo! The Neon SRT 4
Was never a huge Neon fan but I didn't know that they made a SRT model out of it. That's pretty cool. But I always thought of Neons as junk cuz in my opinion they weren't built right. But I am still a Dodge fan though Jay. Keep up the great work.
Ryan Webb yeah if done right and taken care of the neon srt can make really good power and still be pretty reliable.
it's in pretty good condition. probably blew the head tuning it retarded with the diablosport. that croooked steering wheel is a pretty good indicator it's been driven off the road though.
1:45 "But, remember kids... it's still a Neon." That about sums it up. You can put all kinds of cool parts on a Neon... but... at the end of the day... it's still a Neon.
Lemons racer!!
Some Spanish guy would probably buy this
It looks like mom or dad got sick of seeing it parked endlessly in the side yard.
Fun fact, all neons from the beginning hadmanual rear windows. It was a cost cutting measure. We had a '97 Neon, it was a fun little car, but this SRT-4 is a quick little car.
Neons get a bad name but it still kinda hurts to see a SRT 4 in that shape.
Ive never seen a car with power front winndows and manual rear windows
All Neon's were that way.
I thot mopar was known for electrical probmlems
It's a shame that some one would just scrape it just like that when they could have sold it for the same price to some one that can use the parts I would use the parts to build a bad ass car
Tricking out a neon is like trying to shine a rotten apple.
That era neon is well known for the head gaskets popping, that thing is nasty filthy. How does that even happen?
Always wonder how bad the owner's home looks.
TBH, I am surprised the interior is still in it. They usually get stripped out because race car, which is probably what happened to the climate controls and radio.
Seeing that they were too lazy to care about the inside of the car, just imagine how many miles it's been without an oil change.
Jimmy JimJims the owner realized it was a piece of shit so he didn’t wash it
Meth user
Anyone else notice the Coolant in the exhaust tips?
A neon with a blown head gasket. Imagine that.
Good thing the Chrysler was bought and taken, hopefully some budget builder will take this too!
IF not, at LEAST take the transmission & throw away the rest!
I know the transmission is good to sell!
Of course they had a sub system in it lol😆😂
Thankyou,iam retired civil service,will drive up in spring,would love to have a truck like my old one.
