Street Machines is proud to present this astonishing 1982 Chrysler LeBaron Mark Cross edition convertible. The introduction of Chrysler's 1982 K-car lineup saved the automaker from bankruptcy. This example is the top-optioned offering for 1982, displaying its original paint, special leather interior, and number's matching drivetrain. This car has always been garage-kept and is in excellent condition. A 2-owner car, this 1st edition 1982 Chrysler Medallion Lebaron Mark Cross Convertible was garaged and Sunday driven by its first owner until 2010 at 25,000 miles. The 2nd owner put just over 5,000 miles on the car until our acquisition. This simply has to be one of the best original K cars in existence today, from the leather to the mechanicals and paint, outstanding car. Few of these cars remain in this kind of condition. I have no idea how many are surviving. You could order this 1st year special convertible in either Mahogany Metallic or this, the Pearl White. Enjoy our presentation and feel free to email or phone with any questions. View our 100% positive customer feedback and bid with 100% confidence. This up and coming collector car is over 32 years old and an official antique.
The exterior showcases all original body panels and paint, down to the original pinstripe down both sides of the car.
The two optional wheels available on the 1982 Chrysler were a decorate wire wheel cover and these full alloy wheels. The tires were recently replaced with new Goodyear Insignia whitewall radials all around. This is a turn-key car with all working amenities. It is in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition.
Open the doors to luxury.
The interior displays showroom fresh and original leather interior. Everything is original in the interior down to the plush carpeting.
The Mark Cross leather upholstery is in excellent condition, very well cared for and it shows. Absolutely Gorgeous saddle leather, with extremely rare 1982 Mark Cross Chrysler factory promotional items.
The dash displays all original gauges and woodgrain trim. The instruments are functional throughout. The dash pad is as new. The speedometer lense face is excellent, the original mileage on display. The air conditioning has been recently serviced with a new line installed. It blows cold on all speeds and the heat blows hot air.
Chrysler's optional stereo system also functions as it should, providing the symphonic experience. The power antenna is also functioning as it should. We also have an un-opened original Sounds of Chrysler cassette that came with this optional stereo for 1982.
Chrysler was very proud of their new small K car platform with front wheel drive and excellent fuel economy characteristics.
Under the hood is the top-optioned for 1982 2.6 liter Mitsubishi-derived in-line 4-cylinder engine. The engine compartment is very clean, original, and detailed. The original decals and markings are intact throughout the engine. The firewall, inner fenders, and core support are excellent. This is a corrosion-free example and it shows.
The engine itself runs smoothly and is fast to start. The transmission shifts correctly and the brakes stop straight. There are no check lights or otherwise faulty illuminations to be found. We are proud of this little LeBaron. The convertible top boot is original and in excellent condition as is the original convertible top, inside and out. The plastic rear window is also clear. The paint has never been repaired or worked. It is original throughout and in remarkable condition. There are a few tiny chip touch-ups and imperfections in the paint along with some nicks in the original pinstripe. You really have to look hard for any flaws in this amazing car. It is corrosion-free underneath with factory undercoating and all original flooring and sheetmetal throughout.
The white convertible top is original, power-operated and in excellent condition.
Underneath the car, you'll find excellent original flooring throughout, never altered or repaired in any way. The suspension components are original and excellent. This car has never been involved in any kind of collision or experienced rust damage, unlike so many K cars. I wonder how many of these cars are left today?
The trunk is excellent, displaying all original carpeting, spare tire/wheel and jacking equipment.
Note the Chrysler-offered Mark Cross umbrella, also in excellent condition, never used along with the leather-bound notebook and factory documents. This car has the original owner's manual and dealer brochure as well. This gold-plated metal plaque is a vintage original piece offered by Chrysler dealers in 1982 to personalize your Mark Cross edition convertible. It is a rare find and is left blank for inscription of your choice. The adhesive backing is still in place, never removed or installed in any way.
Chysler's famed pentastar hood ornament is in excellent condition, as is the exterior brightwork (chrome) throughout this car. Cartier supplied the special jeweled hood ornament for Chrysler, the perfect compliment to the high-end Mark Cross leather interior. Mark Cross was established in 1845 and is still in business today, selling high-end leather goods.
The car is in outstanding condition. Please look through the extensive photo slideshow below.

Last week, in the midst of Detroit's first days seeking relief in Chapter 9 of the bankruptcy code, Automotive News contributor Larry P. Vellequette penned an editorial suggesting that American car companies raise the white flag on dual clutch transmissions and give up on trying to persuade Americans to buy cars fitted with them. Why? Because, Vellequette says, like CVT transmissions, they "just don't sound right or feel right to American drivers." (Note: In the article, it's not clear if Vellequette is arguing against wet-clutch and dry-clutch DCTs or just dry-clutch DCTs, which is what Ford and Chrysler use.) The article goes on to state that Ford and Chrysler have experimented with DCTs and that both consumers and the automotive press haven't exactly given them glowing reviews, despite their quicker shifts and increased fuel efficiency potential compared to torque-converter automatic transmissions. Autoblog staffers who weighed in on the relevance of DCTs in American cars generally disagreed with the blanket nature of Vellequette's statement that they don't sound or feel right, but admit that their lack of refinement compared to traditional automatics can be an issue for consumers. That's particularly true in workaday cars like the Ford Focus and Dodge Dart, both of which have come in for criticism in reviews and owner surveys. From where we sit, the higher-performance orientation of such transmissions doesn't always meld as well with the marching orders of everyday commuters (particularly if drivers haven't been educated as to the transmission's benefits and tradeoffs), and in models not fitted with paddle shifters, it's particularly hard for drivers to use a DCT to its best advantage. Finally, we also note that DCT tuning is very much an evolving science. For instance, Autoblog editors who objected to dual-clutch tuning in the Dart have more recently found the technology agreeable in the Fiat 500L. Practice makes perfect - or at least more acceptable.
"We figured we'd take the best of both worlds." - Ralph Gilles. The international makeup of the 2015 Jeep Renegade will serve as a template for cooperation within the newly formed Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Senior Vice President of Product Design Ralph Gilles said.
Chrysler is having a "crazy impressive" launch for its 2015 200, claims company spokesperson Rick Deneau. Within the first two days of opening the order books, the Pentastar took over 17,000 requests for its swoopy new family sedan - 10,000 of them in the first day. The company says that's enough to keep its Sterling Heights, MI, factory running at full capacity through mid-July. Deneau tells Autoblog that the last time he saw such an immediate popularity for a model was when Ram launched its 1500 EcoDiesel pickup. That truck sold out of its initial order allocation in just three days earlier this year. As you'd expect, "most of these are dealer orders," Deneau admits. In other words, they're not necessarily coming at the behest of individual customer, but that's standard operating procedure as dealers look to fill up their showrooms. For the moment, it's too early to know which trim or engine will prove most popular in the new 200. At present, most of the ordered models are highly optioned. That's normal for a new vehicle launch, as early adopters tend to want all the bells and whistles and dealers want to show off their new stock by putting their best foot forward.
