This Chrysler Conquest is the first car John Lazorack ever owned. He was only 16 when he bought it from the original owner, and he drove it to high school and back every weekday.
When he went to college, the Conquest came along, too. While studying automotive design and mechanical engineering, John used his car as a development platform for his own fabricated parts. The hatchback was a versatile test bed, as he entered it in autocrosses, time trials and even the occasional drift event.
