Affordable Classic - 1986 Chrysler Lebaron K-car Convertible on 2040-cars
Bowling Green, Ohio, United States
|
This 1986 Chrysler LeBaron Mark Cross edition convertible is a true survivor that has spent the last 28 years being very gently driven and cared for. It was delivered to its original owner - a prominent Toledo businessman - at Valiton Motors of Toledo, Ohio on August 1 of that same year and was used primarily by his socialite wife in the summer months. The body of the car is straight and clean and has never been rusted. The only exception is some very slight bubbles that are just starting to form in the paint on the trunk lid by the LeBaron badge (shown in pictures). It wears its original paint, which is in excellent condition with a lot of lustre and shine to it. The car is light cream in color with a tan pinstripe and a tan convertible top. The top is in good condition overall. The motor work and the top raises and lowers well. The stitching that surrounds the rear window is beginning to come undone because of the age of the threads and will need to be restitched (shown in pictures). The convertible boot is in the trunk of the car and is in perfect condition. The original wire wheels are in excellent condition and the white wall tires have good tread life. The brakes are in great working condition on the car. All of the lights and gauges in the car work. The car has cream-colored Mark Cross leather interior with a slightly darker tan dash. The leather seats are the most comfortable car seats I have ever sat in. There are no rips or tears in the leather, but there is some slight cracking to the leather, consistent with the age of the seats and the quality of the leather that was used in cars of the 1980s. The dash has no cracks or blemishes. The interior of the car is immaculately clean - the carpeting, the floor mats, the dash and the seats. It has a power driver's seat that is full working order. The AM/FM stereo/ cassette works, as does the cruise control. As is often the case with cars of this vintage, the air conditioning does not blow cold as a result of having lost its charge. But who cares... this is a convertible... it was made for top-down driving. The original 2.2L Turbo engine is in good shape and has been checked by the local Chrysler dealership. The carburetor was recently cleaned and they found everything else, including the turbocharger, to be in good working order. The car starts right up and it does not leak and smoke. The transmission is in great shape. It shifts right into gear and has no clunking, slipping, or any other indications of wear. The brakes are in good condition and work well. The tires still have good tread life. I just replaced the front axles on the car, which had worn from age. This is a wonderful car in great condition and a beautiful example of the car that saved Chrysler. I've tried to be honest about any issues that the car has, and to document them with photos here in the listing. I'd be happy to answer any questions and will consider all fair and reasonable offers for the car. That it has been garage-kept its entire life will come as no surprise to anyone who sees it in person.

Chrysler launches new Ram ads and gears up for Super Bowl XLV [w/videos]
Tue, 09 Oct 2012Perhaps no car company has made bigger splashes in the last two years at the Super Bowl than Chrysler, and the automaker's marketing chief, Olivier Francois, said today that he plans to be all over the big game again in February.
Last year, the company made an ad featuring Hollywood icon Clint Eastwood. The spot achieved viral status quickly when pundits charged that Eastwood's lines were politically motivated; meant to appeal to progressive voters/viewers favoring a second term for President Obama. In 2011, agency Wieden & Kennedy burst into the game with a now famous commercial featuring Eminem. Both ads have supported Chrysler's "Imported from Detroit" marketing platform.
Francois briefed reporters Monday at the Detroit Opera House while he also debuted a new series of ads for the Ram brand.
Chrysler's completely redesigned 200 caught totally uncovered
Fri, 13 Dec 2013Preparing for a big debut at the Detroit Auto Show next month, the all-new 2015 Chrysler 200 was out for a late-night photo shoot fully undisguised, and our spy shooters were there to capture its all-new design completely uncovered. While there's no camouflage, the cover of darkness proved to be almost as effective, but we still get a good idea of what this former sore spot in the brand's lineup will look like after its clean-sheet redesign.
The first thing we notice is the stylish four-door-coupe roofline doing its best to impersonate something like the Audi A7, or maybe the Volkswagen CC. The front-end styling is a departure from recent Chrysler designs with narrow headlights and an equally short, chrome-trimmed grille. In profile, the bullet-nosed 200 is somewhat reminiscent of the Tesla Model S. This new design language should definitely help the 200 get noticed in a segment filled with hot sellers like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, as well as more stylish offerings like the Ford Fusion and Mazda6.
Our spies also caught up with the 200 testing in daylight and got some good shots of the interior. The instrument panel design looks similar to what is found in the Dodge Dart, including the oversized instrument gauges and possibly even the LED accent lighting. We would have to assume - and hope - this prototype is a test model due to its small touchscreen display, as Chrysler's 8.4-inch screen would look much better in its place. The center stack and console are clean with minimal buttons and knobs, but we do see a rotary gear selector, which may confirm reports from last year that suggested the 200 will use a nine-speed automatic transmission to help hit 38 miles per gallon on the highway.
Fiat to list on New York Stock Exchange?
Mon, 06 Jan 2014Citing the ever-nebulous "two sources close to Fiat," Reuters is reporting that the Italian automaker and owner of the Chrysler brand is likely to list itself on the New York Stock Exchange. The move could reportedly happen as soon as 2015, marking the end, at least in the minds of investors, of Fiat's 115-year base in Turin, Italy.
The Italian government is not likely to react favorably to Fiat's potential move from Italy to the United States, despite initially positive reactions to Fiat's landmark final purchase of Chrysler, the third-largest automaker in the US. Fiat spent $3.65 billion to buy out the 41.46-percent stake in Chrysler that had been owned by the United Auto Workers' VEBA trust fund.
With little sign of a swift European recovery, Fiat has little choice but to focus on markets outside its traditional home, and a listing in New York could potentially be a boon for investors. According to International Strategy and Investment analyst George Galliers, speaking to Reuters, "People [would be] more likely to think of the entity in the same context as they do Ford and GM" if it were listed on the NYSE.
