Please read entire ad, including watching videos and looking at all the pics, before asking questions. I try to do my best to show the car exactly how it is and I posted a lot of pictures and videos and description so you can see if this is the car for you. I have too many cars and need to make some space. I am posting it with a low starting bid and no reserve so it should sell. The car is in nice shape and runs great. Check out my full description below with 50+ pics in html form and 3 videos. If you have any questions let me know. 1985 Chrysler Lebaron Coupe Turbo. 77K original Miles. Original California Car. Original Blue license plates. Runs and drives great with no problems. Was owned by older couple most of its life. Top was replaced in the late 90s / early 2000s. Original two tone paint (gold on top, tan yellow cream color on bottom). Original paint is a little faded and could use a repaint to be perfect but overall still looks nice, at least to me, and probably everyone else who likes k cars. Brown interior is in very nice shape. There is only a little sun fade, mainly on the driver seat (see video and pics). It could be dyed again if desired, it is very minor and would be an easy fix. The interior looks very nice and is in great shape for being from 1985. It has an aftermarket kenwood cd player. I have the original radio that came with the car and I will include that as well. It has new front brake pads and 1 new rotor. It has a new TPS (Throttle Position Sensor). New K&N air filter. Clean California title, Current CA registration (sept. 2014) , passed last smog test with very low readings. I havent smogged it for this sale since it is possibly going to be bought by someone out of state and I didn't want to waste my money or time when it wouldnt be needed. I am posting it for sale now because the registration expires in September 2014. If I end up smogging it and registering it for 2015 then I am going to keep it for a while. I am selling it as is without smog, but it will pass CA smog no problem and has passed all previous times smog checks with no problems. It also comes with a new fuel filter (I havent had a chance to install it yet) and it currently has a full tank of gas. I bought it in early 2014 when my daily driver truck broke down. I needed a car for a few weeks until I fixed my truck. I saw this one near my house for sale and bought it because I needed a car and also I really like the turbo k cars. This is the 5th one I have had. I previously had a 85 lebaron gts, 84 laser, 85 dodge 600 convertible and a 86 new yorker. They are great cars. This is the nicest one I have had. The Lebaron Coupe is very rare, especially as a turbo, and especially with the low mileage it has and being a California car it has no rust and it is very straight. It only has a few very minor dings but nothing major at all (see video and pics). If you are into the turbo k cars and looking to buy one, here is your chance. Im not too attached to it that I cant sell it and get another one down the line someday. Right now I have too many other cars, boats and other stuff. My dad passed away about 2 years ago and I have a lot of his cars to deal with as well as my own cars. I am sure someday I might be looking for one of these cars and not able to find one and should probably just keep it somewhere until then but I really just dont have the time / space to deal with it right now so if I could sell it to a k car enthusiast that would be ideal. These cars are becoming very collectible, especially a turbo 2 door coupe with 77K original miles on it with the original CA blue license plates. It should be in someone's garage and not sitting outside in Oakland, CA :) Since it is from 1985 Im sure it could use things here and there to make it better as it is not a brand new car and is 30 years old. The driver side window moves a little so sometimes to get it all the way up you have to touch it with your finger to move it over so it can go all the way up correctly (most likely one of the tabs holding it). Its pretty minor of a problem and probably an easy fix or just live with it. I will show it on the interior video below. The front seat is power and works but has a little trouble going all the way back on the passenger side track. It is a 6 way it goes back forward, tilts back and forward and has lumbar up and down. It all works pretty good but maybe could use a little work to be perfect. I will show that in the video as well. Those are pretty much the only 2 things wrong with the car. The drivers door in some of the pics looks like it is a different color, it is not. It is the original door and color and it hasnt been hit or replaced. The person I bought the car from tried to wax it and started on the driver door. They made it look a little shinier, but they rubbed a little of the paint off in the process on some little spots on the door and then they decided to stop, so the drivers door is a little shinier but has a couple of spots on the paint where as the rest of the car is just originally faded. There are no known leaks or noises on the car. The transmission shifts great. If the car will need anything it will just be regular maintenance, everything on it is pretty solid and original for the most part. If you are a K car enthusiast, you will love this car. It is a great one to start with, finish or use as is. The tires were changed a few years ago but all matching and with good tread. If I think of anything else to put in the ad I will add it. If you have any questions let me know. Check out the video and pictures to see it. The first video shows the color of the car the best and was the same day I washed it. The 2nd video is with a clearer , but cheap HD camera that doesnt show the color of the car as well and was the day after I washed it. The 3rd video is of it starting up and showing the engine and interior. You can make the videos bigger by clicking on the title and watching it on my YT channel. I have put a lot of pictures in html form, so if you are looking from a phone you might need to look from a computer to see all of them.

The engine revs higher when the AC is on. I asked about this on the turbododge.com forum and they said it is normal for it to do this to run the A/C. For the car to run at its best potential I would drive with it off, but you need cold AC it works. If I think of anything else to ad here I will. If anyone has any questions let me know, Thanks.On Aug-05-14 at 15:52:14 PDT, seller added the following information: I just want to add, for the people that dont know, The State of California will give me 1500 for this car to retire it to the State (ie crush it) . I am not going to do that, because it is way too nice of a car and is a collectors item. But everyone should keep that in mind, especially California buyers. Aside from anything else, the bidding here should go to at least 1500 based on that fact alone. A lot of people are asking me about ending the auction early for a buy it now price. I dont want to do that and plan on letting the auction run. If you have interest in this car and are serious about buying , either bid or message me and let me know you are planning to bid and are serious. I reserve the right to end the auction and sell it at anytime I choose. I dont plan on doing that but I can if I choose to as it is my car. If you are serious let me know or put some bids in. Anymore questions? Let me know. Thanks and good luck !
