Final Parking Space: 1986 Chrysler Laser XT Turbo

Forty years after Chrysler offered a wide range of models, including a turbo sports car, one of the last examples is sitting in a Colorado junkyard just south of Denver. The find is an “absolutely loaded” 1986 Chrysler Laser XT Turbo, a variant from the Laser lineup whose brochure coverage shows the brand still sold multiple driveline and body styles at the time. The article frames the car as one of the final remaining machines, emphasizing how quickly many niche, performance-focused models have disappeared. For collectors, it’s a snapshot of a less constrained Chrysler era and a rare opportunity to study a specific configuration up close.
