Early‑80s Introduction and Rebadge
The Plymouth Conquest was introduced to the U.S. market in the early 1980s as a counterpart to the Mitsubishi Starion. It was essentially a rebadged Mitsubishi Starion and was listed among Plymouth’s vehicles for the 1984 and 1986 model years.
Rarity and Parts Scarcity
Because the Conquest was produced in limited numbers, it has become a rare collector’s item, making many components difficult to locate. Owners report that new front or rear calipers are unavailable and even wide‑body mudflaps are hard to find, while the car’s curb weight is about 3,000 pounds.
Durability and Longevity
Enthusiasts note that the Conquest’s basic mechanical components are solid, allowing examples to run well after many years of storage. One barn‑found 1987 Conquest stored for 16 years still fired up with ample clutch life, demonstrating the model’s lasting reliability.
