MY NEIGHBOR GOT THIS CAR AS PART OF HIS FATHERS ESTATE AND THE CAR SPENT MOST OF IT'S LIFE IN ALABAMA, ALWAYS GARAGED, DRIVEN TO SHOWS AND CHURCH. WHEN HE HAD THE CAR SHIPPED TO MICHIGAN I COULD NOT BELIEVE MY EYES THAT THIS CAR WAS A WOODY VERSION OF THE CHRYSLER LEBARON CONVERTIBLE. THIS CAR IS THE MARK CROSS EDITION WHICH INCLUDES EVERY OPTION KNOWN TO CHRYSLER AT THE TIME. THEY PRODUCED 1,105 OF THESE IN 84, 595 IN 85 AND 501 IN 86. THE CAR HAD A LIST PRICE OF $16,495 AND COMMANDED A PREMIUM OF ALMOST $5,000 OVER THE BASE LEBARON CONVERTIBLE. THIS CAR DESIGNATED THE K CAR SAVED CHRYSLER CORP FROM BANKRUPCY AND MADE IACOCA A HOUSEHOLD NAME. BELIEVE IT OR NOT THIS CAR DELIVERED 40MPG WAY BACK THEN, WHAT HAPPENED TO OLD TECHNOLOGY? FOR ME OLD CARS COME IN TWO FLAVORS RESTORED AND ORIGINAL, THIS CAR DOES NOT NEED TO BE RESTORED BECAUSE IT IS IN SUCH GREAT ORIGINAL SHAPE AND TO ME IS A LOT RARER THAN A RESTORED VERSION OF THE SAME CAR. THE CAR HAS DIGITAL INSTRUMENTS AND THE ODOMETER DOES NOT REGISTER, I PUT 100000 MILES BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW THE ORIGINAL MILES BUT THE CONDITION OF THE CAR AND THE WAY THE ENGINE RUNS WOULD BE MY GUESS THAT IT HAS FAR FEWER MILES. THE BODY ON THIS CAR IS ABSOLUTELY TOTALLY SOLID WITH NO INDICATIONS OF ANY RUST THRU AREAS WHATSOEVER. PERSONALLY I CANNOT GIVE THE CAR THE RESPECT IT DESERVES SO IT CAN LIVE ON FOR MANY MORE GENERATIONS AS AN ICON OF ITS TIME. I WOULD LIKE THIS CAR TO GO TO SOMEONE WHO WILL APPRECIATE THAT AND KEEP THE OLD GIRL GOING STRONG SO OTHERS CAN APPRECIATE A LIITLE BIT OF HISTORY + HAVE SOME FUN DOING IT.
