Due to idiots who do not pay, but are fine with ending your auction with Buy-it-Now, this item is being re-listed! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You like Mopar turbo cars? Me too. Here's a rare example! I bought this car a couple years ago with the intention of a full restoration, and some performance mods. Time passed, other projects got in the way, and now I could use the garage space! But what a great car this would be with a little TLC... My reserve is less than you'd pay for any decent car, just 15 x 166.66666666667 Want to see moving pictures and hear it run?

GM and Ford helped give turbos a bad reputation by producing a lot of oil-cooled junk that self-destructed; sadly the bad rep carried over to Chrysler's water-cooled turbos. That makes this baby the last of a breed, and nearly as rare as a lot of Hemi™ musclecars. Five-speeds are not common in any Chrysler LeBaron, and this is just one of 235 built with a turbo & manual transmission. Even better, this car has practically NO RUST. It was obviously somebody's baby before getting dumped at the rundown used car lot I found it on. A quick test ride showed the engine to be plenty strong, with good compression and plenty of turbo boost. Trans shifts well and clutch feels fine. And it's still wearing its original turquoise paint from the days of Vanilla Ice and the Cosby show! Floorboards, frame rails and mounting points are still as clean as when Ice-T hated cops, rather than playing one on TV! It has a newer white convertible top and matching leather seats. The original rims are in excellent shape, and the tires are like new. It has a nifty, factory cassette player that works well. ALL of the power windows work! The cruise works. The A/C is all there, but surely needs a recharge and proper service by now. So by now you are saying, "What could possibly be left for me to restore?" I'm not going to lie to you, (my eBay rep selling cars should show that; read my feedback) this car needs a few things... The struts/shocks are toast! I expect it needs engine mounts, because it's rather harsh when driving aggressively. The valve cover leaks oil like a BP exec owns it. The ABS light is on. The body has a number of dents/scratches that don't show up well in photos. No radio antenna. All in all, this appears to have been a very well-kept car that was given to a teenager for about a year. SO THIS IS NOT THE CAR FOR YOUR DUMB KID TO DESTROY! If you do that, you deserve a special extra-hot circle in Hell for idiots that wreck cool stuff! I'll be happy to answer any specific questions you have, or show you the car in person if you live in the Metro Detroit area. (I'm in the North East suburbs) I'll even show you the car and buy you a Whopper™ if you live in Australia and just want to fly into Detroit and take a taxi to my house. I have an extra white leather seat you can use to repair the driver's side leather bolster (which is the only repair needed on the interior). You'll also have your choice of a White or Dark Gray convertible top boot (I was considering changing the body color to an OEM charcoal metallic). Want to see moving pictures and hear it run?
