Chrysler TC by Maserati
The Chrysler TC by Maserati is a short-lived luxury roadster that blended a Chrysler platform with an Italian-built body and a hand-stitched leather interior. It's now a rare curiosity for collectors, largely due to its high original price and unfortunate resemblance to the less-expensive Chrysler LeBaron.

The Chrysler TC by Maserati was a joint venture between Lee Iacocca and Alejandro de Tomaso, intended to blend Italian luxury with American engineering. Based on a modified Chrysler Q-platform, the car featured a body built in Milan, Italy, and a hand-stitched leather interior by Poltrona Frau. Despite its upscale ambitions, the TC's resemblance to the less expensive Chrysler LeBaron and its high price tag led to a short production run of just 7,300 units from 1989 to 1991.
Today, the TC's rarity and unique backstory make it an interesting find for collectors of '80s and '90s curiosities. The most sought-after models are the 1989 cars equipped with the 200 hp Maserati-tuned 16-valve engine and 5-speed manual transmission. With an average sale price under $10,000, it's an affordable entry into a niche vehicle with a genuine, if complicated, Italian connection. The market is stable, with the best examples fetching just under $20,000.
Buying Tips
- The 1989-only 2.2L 16-valve engine, built with a Maserati-cast head and paired with a Getrag 5-speed, is the most desirable powertrain.
- Ensure the removable hardtop is included and in good shape; the signature opera windows are a key part of the car's identity and replacements are very scarce.
- Inspect the Poltrona Frau leather interior carefully. The soft Italian leather is prone to shrinking, cracking, and sun damage, especially on the dashboard and seats.
- Check for any missing or damaged TC-specific parts, such as exterior trim, badges, and light lenses, as they can be difficult and expensive to source.
