I decided to take a "road trip" today to the old Firestone Tire and Rubber factory in South Gate, CA to see if the Chrysler on that building was still there.
Well, it's still there so I took a few pictures.
Here's the address you're going to be looking for:
A little bit to the right and looking up:
I did notice that it's pointing a different direction than in the picture on Victory Siren.com taken back in May 2003. Hmm
Well, that was a good thing though. This Chrysler is missing it's engine but the direction it was facing pointed me to this place across the street:
Knowing kx250rider, I went to that used Japanese engine place the Chrysler pointed me to and asked if they had any diesel engines; preferably a Toyota engine. The only one they had there was a 2L-THE but sitting near it were some Mitsubishi 4M4 engines which looked capable of running the Chrysler siren.
I did ask if they could get any Toyota 1KZ-T engines and was told they expect some to arrive by mid January.
