Vehicle Detail
An original paint, engine, transmission, interior 1978 Chrysler Lebaron Medallion. Engine is original and never been out of the car. Modifications I did are .060 shaved on deck and intake face 915 casting heads with 2.02/1.60 S.S. valves. New springs,valve stem seals, bronze guides. Edelbrock Performer intake with 1974 360 Carter Thermoquad and new OE type divorced choke. Crane 340 OE stock pattern camshaft. Stock exh manifolds and Y pipe feed into half of a Dart/Duster 2.5" complete exhaust front to back. Mopar electronic ignition system. Transmission had a mild shift kit and a custom 1800 rpm converter minus the lock up system installed. Driveshaft has new U-joints and balanced. Rear end is a 8 1/4 that was rebuilt with 2.94 gears and a Sure-Grip. New leaf springs and bushings. New factory type rear sway bar and brackets. All new gas shocks. Firm Feel rebuilt power steering box. Stock power steering pump runs quiet no leaks. Aluminum ISO bushing replacements for the K-member. Stock interior including original floor mats. Chrysler late 90's radio with CD and cassette player. Two 4" speakers under top of dash in replace of the factory mono speaker and two 6x9s mounted under the package tray in the back. NOS grille, headlight buckets, outside mirrors, and trunk chrome above tail lights. Rest of the trim is stock and in excellent condition. Original window wiper arms and blade holders with Anco replacement Classic blades. Aftermarket 15x7 road wheels with 235/60-15 Goodyear tires. I still have the original Medallion solid aluminum wheels also. All new rotors, bearings, and pads. Rebuilt upper A-arms and lower control arms. New pitman arm and idler arm. Tie rods are original and excellent condition. Radiator was flushed repainted and reinstalled. New clutch on 7 blade fan. AC unit was purged and flushed and charged with updated Freon 3 years ago and still blows cold. Heater has no leaks and works great. New OE type vacuum operated on/off valve in heater hose. Original owner bought it new in Salem, Ohio. He put 22,000 miles on it over about 20 years obviously never seeing snow. Its rust free and every nut and bolt I touched came out like it was just put in the day before. It passed between two other owners before I got it with 24,000 miles on it. It now has close to 39,000 miles on it. Everything I did to it was pure Mopar and only done to improve performance or handling without detracting from its originality. Other than the wheels and tires it still looks factory stock. Though it steers and handles way better than the day it left the factory. Im sure Im forgetting something just email me with any questions you might have. Feel free to inspect it before hand or have someone come and look at it for you if youre too far from me. I haven't been active lately on Moparts.com but several Ohio members have seen the car and can vouche for its condition.
