Chrysler to offer another special-edition PT Cruiser


Keeping with tradition, Chrysler will offer yet another special-edition PT Cruiser aimed squarely at the Detroit Woodward Dream Cruise crowd.

The 2004 Chrysler PT Dream Cruiser Series 3 is powered by a 220-hp turbo four-cylinder engine hooked to a five-speed manual tranny and comes in a blue and silver two-tone look with blue-tinted glass and 17-inch chrome-alloy wheels. You can buy it for $29,400.



Production of the 2004 Chrysler PT Dream Cruiser Series 3 will begin this month, with vehicles arriving in North American dealerships shortly. The Series 3 is the eighth addition to the overall PT Cruiser lineup.

Other features unique to the Series 3 include blue tinted glass on the windshield, windows and backlight. The blue glass extends the line of the upper Midnight Blue body panels, which adds to the vehicle's customized look.

Notable exterior chrome accents on the Chrysler PT Dream Cruiser Series 3 include bright bodyside moldings and chrome horizontal accents on the front grille. "Dream Cruiser Series 3" badging with bright accents also appears on the lower left side of the liftgate, while a "2.4L Turbo/High Output" badge is featured on the lower right.

Available for the first time on a Chrysler PT Cruiser, the PT Dream Cruiser Series 3 includes 17-inch chrome-plated Empire cast-aluminum wheels as standard equipment. The wheels include special Midnight Blue center caps with a bright "PT Cruiser" logo.


The leather-wrapped steering wheel features Satin Silver spokes. Other interior accents are found on the chrome AutoStick shifter bezel (for automatic transaxle vehicles), the Satin Silver shift knob and the chrome lock knobs. Bright pedals and black front sill plates with bright inserts embossed with the winged Chrysler brand logo round out the Dream Cruiser Series 3 interior chrome touches.

Additional standard equipment on the Chrysler PT Dream Cruiser Series 3 includes a five-speed Getrag manual transaxle, four-wheel disc brakes, ABS with traction control, a power moonroof with an "express open" feature, a liftgate-mounted rear spoiler, AM/FM/6-CD changer radio and a factory-installed SIRIUS satellite band digital radio system. An automatic transaxle with AutoStick is available as a Chrysler Dream Cruiser Series 3 option.

No, 5 speeds have always been avalable for the turbo pt. And it can do a low 7's 0-60 (in an auto) thats not all that slow, heck ppl ranted about the civc si and its slower stock.
