      <title>1985 Chrysler LeBaron</title>

      <description>1985 Chrysler LeBaron Turbo Convertible 

  For consignment, a 1985 Chrysler LeBaron Turbo convertible, a nicely preserved example of a mid production K-series.   There weren't a ton of convertible options in 1985 so there was some appeal generated by the LeBaron drop top.  And an 1984 made had a pivotal appearance in the emblematic 80's film, St. Elmo's Fire. 

  Exterior
 Bright Silver Metallic covers the car which is accented by a chrome grille, a red pinstripe, and black side molding.  A pair of hood vents contribute a touch of sportiness to the square car and wire wheel covers dress it up for an evening out on the town.  Lined taillights sit above the protruding rear bumper and the canvas folding top is in good condition and has a glass rear window.  Dual headlights sit back in a chrome bezel with a slightly canted front fascia that is subtly and yet distinctly Chrysler, confirmed by the Pentastar hood ornament on the nose.  Overall, the body and paint are in decent condition with some imperfections.  These include blotches of mismatched paint, numerous scratches and scuffs, dings, along with some touched up chips and body work. 

  Interior
 Standard on the convertible was the full vinyl low back bucket seats that were available in three colors, including this Oxblood red.  Red vinyl appears on the handsome door panels which have the era's typical design which flows to the short sidewalls of the rear where we also find a bench seat and everything is in fine condition.  A simple steering wheel leads to a square dash with just a speedometer, gas gauge, and a series of idiot lights, reminders, and diagrams above a faux wood panel.  Towards the center, an AM/FM/CD radio with AUX and USB has been added above the metallic A/C control panel.  A temperature gauge has also been added and is mounted under the dash.  The center console houses the shifter is a metallic panel over a plastic base that has simulated stitching and more faux wood and it all could use a good detailing just ahead of a plump armrest in red vinyl.  On the floor, the plush red carpet has had some fun days in the sun and shows some fading while the plastic mats that protect it from wear have yellowed with age and look vintage 1980's.  Gray flannel panels line the entire trunk which looks clean. 

  Drivetrain
 At a time when turbocharging was not widely used, the highly touted 2.2 liter turbo 4 cylinder is under the hood in driver condition.  As Chrysler put it in their sales brochure, "the turbocharger increases horsepower, a boost of 47 percent over the standard 2.2 liter engine with EFI.".  This one is also fuel injected and rated at 146 horsepower.  A Torqueflite 3-speed automatic transmission keeps power in the front with 3.02 gears while power brakes, discs in front, drums in back, bring this car to a stop. 

  Undercarriage
 Driver quality underneath with its fair share of typical surface rust, some residual oil on the pan, some grime build up on the knuckle and just some general patina.  But no rust!  Unlike Kirby's car at the mountain cabin in St. Elmo's Fire, we're not sure this one has ever seen snow and salt!  Meanwhile, the single exhaust meets a stock style muffler before exiting with twin tips out back, and coil springs are the main component of the rear suspension system while MacPherson struts occupy the front. 

  Drive-Ability
 I distinctly remember this being the car to have in the mid-80's but also don't recall ever being in one.  The simple and comfortable cabin provides just what you need and delivers a decent ride out on our test loop with the low pressure turbo kicking in to provide a bit more acceleration when needed and the car tracks straight and with the top down, hosts limitless visibility.  The windows on the left side don't operate but every other function worked as they should.  While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. 

  When Kirby was desperate to find Dale, he hastily borrowed Howie Krantz's LeBaron convertible and sped off to the mountain cabin.  Howie was gainfully employed at a law firm, unlike the other characters in St. Elmo's fire who were mostly working menial jobs or unemployed, so the LeBaron convertible represented success, upward mobility, and yes, conformity.  The film didn't make the car iconic, it's ability to save Chrysler did, even as they later became the butt of jokes.  But it's now rare to see them and they always touch a nerve at car shows as people fawn over them.  And Radwood material?  One hundred percent!

      <title>1979 Chrysler LeBaron</title>
      <link>https://www.hotrodhotline.com/forsale/vehicles/chrysler/lebaron/1979/listing/211030</link>
      <description>1979 Chrysler LeBaron Hardtop 

  For consignment, a M body Chrysler Le Baron from 1979 putting it "squarely", (sic), into the square and rectangle design era.  This beauty is a true survivor with original factory paint and looking all the 1979 part.  It has the correct number of doors and a landau vinyl top to make it a real looker.  All in good  condition, unknown exact mileage but consigner states it was only taken out a few times a year to stretch its legs, so the actual mileage would be assumed to be low based on its overall condition.

  Exterior
 Cadet Blue Metallic covers steel panels all squared off and minding gaps very nicely.  In front we see a lazy V outward facing grille with a central egg crate design and a grid of dual head lighting on the bottom with square headlights above dual horizontal running lights to match the lower headlight size.  These lights wrap around the corner of the front quarter and emulate the shiny bumper below.  A radiator surround is in the blue and a hood ornament is atop.  The hood starts its journey rearward to the windscreen which is initially topped with metal roof then it turns to vinyl covered darker blue and we can call it a true landau top with a vertical rectangular opera glass insert.  Some darker blue pin striping is highlighting the edge of the body bump out and does a great job of doing so especially on the rear quarter which uses one of the few curved surfaces in the bump out.  A nice spacious trunk frames wide rectangular horizontal tail lights made up of 3 squares and trimmed by thin chrome edging.  A C H R Y S L E R badge is noted on the bottom edge of the lid and a shiny bumper with inset backup lighting is below.  The car rides on 15-inch dinner plate hubcaps and wheels which are wrapped in 215/75R15 thin whitewall rubber.  

  Interior
 Richly appointed tri tone blue shows up on the door panels and it utilizes  a medium blue vinyl as the framing for a central lighter "ice chip" blue panel where we see the door pull strap and armrest. This panel shows as slightly soiled on the drivers side.  The lowers are dark blue carpeting and for some extra interest a wood appliqué panel is behind the window crank.  Turning out attention to the inside seating is wide bucket seats meshed together by a center armrest and seat panel.. These are covered by light blue velour broadcloth with smooth bolsters and tuck and roll inserts.  Some dark blue piping delineates these surfaces.  The driver's upper edge of the seat as you enter the car is worn off off it fuzz.  The back seats are also in the dual bucket with central panel format and appear to be much less used.  In the upper center is a wood appliqué panel is noted on the top of the seats.  These chairs float on faded and soiled blue carpeting.  To the dash where some wood appliqué wood background wraps around the instruments to create a dash that contains round sweep instruments with brushed aluminum instruments sporting 2 large and a left cluster of smaller rounds just beside these larger rounds.  To the driver's right is another panel which houses the temp sliders and a JVC AM/FM/Cassette radio.  The padded and stitched dash pad surrounds this panel and cluster and is crack free.  On the passenger's side we see an AC vent and another wood appliqué panel covering the glovebox.   The headliner is a solid darker blue vinyl and is a single panel nice and tight.

  Drivetrain
 A flip of the hood and we see a government over-regulated with emission controls engine in 318ci V8 configuration.  It is a numbers matching engine and has a single 2-barrel carburetor and an A904 3-speed automatic transmission on back.  There is an 8-1/4 inch rear axle on this car.  

  Undercarriage
 Patina and surface rust is noted throughout.  There is invasive rust on the left front unibody rail that has been painted over with fresh black paint but it's still there.  The floor pans are solid and there is a cherrybomb glass pack style muffler on an otherwise rusted exhaust pipe.  Suspension is front transverse torsion bars and rear leaf springs.  Braking is front power discs and rear power drums.  

  Drive-Ability
 The car starts right up and runs smoothly.  On the test track it performed like a 70's emission controlled car with lackluster acceleration and good ride.  The AC did not blow cold and the odometer and trip meter did not track mileage.

  Surviving till this day is a feat on its own and this car has achieved it with little to no exterior rust but the unibody has suffered.  It holds its own with the factory paint and a fair to good interior all original.  A 1970's example of Detroit's interpretation of what luxury would  be.  Have at it.
