You are bidding on a beautiful 1982 Chrysler LeBaron convertible with only 49,600 original miles!  This car spent all but the last two and a half years of its life in Florida and has never been driven in snow.  The body is essentially rust free as you would expect for a Florida car.  The car has been repainted at some point in its life -the paint is old, but still attractive.  It has the usual dings and nicks, but looks good in a parade!

Mechanically the car is in excellent condition.  A new Weber carburetor was installed in 2010 when the car came to Massachusetts, and the front end was checked and parts replaced as needed, including a front wheel bearing.  

The front calipers were replaced this year and the brakes checked over.  The tires look good - one tire was replaced last year - the rest are ten years old but don't seem to have very many miles on them.  The radio works great, and the car has a cassette adapter to play an ipod or mp3 player. 

The power windows all go up and down smoothly, as does the power roof.  The engine doesn't appear to use any oil. The car starts right up and runs smoothly.  All seat belts work fine.

The car includes an owners manual and convertible supplement manual that came with the car.

Problems:  The windshield wipers and washers don't seem to be working, and the cruise control isn't working, which obviously isn't a problem if you're only driving it around town in nice weather!  The arm rest between the bucket seats has become completely detached.  You can't tell by the pictures, but it's just sitting there.  It could be easily reattached, but I thought it would be nice to get a different one from a junkyard that actually held something, so I didn't. It still works as an arm rest just fine.

The car is weather tight, but the convertible top has a small tear (see picture). Which again isn't much of a problem when the top's down!  It has a boot for the convertible top, and it's missing several snaps.

This car is ready to drive anywhere!

If Tesla Model 3 is successful, Sergio Marchionne will copy it

Fri, Apr 15 2016

Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne hasn't hidden his disdain for electric vehicles, but he would copy the Tesla Model 3 if it is successful, according to Automotive News Europe. If Elon Musk "can show me that the car will be profitable at that price, I will copy the formula, add the Italian design flair and get it to the market within 12 months," Marchionne told Automotive News Europe during FCA's annual meeting in Amsterdam. In terms of pre-orders, the Model 3 is a success. Musk tweeted on April 7 that the company had over 325,000 reservations for the sedan, which he estimated were worth around $14 billion. The car will start at $35,000 before incentives. Marchionne, however, isn't optimistic Tesla can actually make the electric sedan work financially. "I'm am not surprised by the high number of reservations but you have then to build and deliver them and also be profitable," he told ANE. The FCA boss is a noted skeptic of EVs. In 2012, he said that the company only built the 500e because of California's zero-emissions vehicle mandate and to give engineers experience with the technology. He doubled-down in 2014 when he claimed FCA lost $14,000 on each 500e and said he would rather people didn't buy them. More recently, he infamously said "you'd have to shoot me first," before he'd allow a fully electric Ferrari. Related Video:

Next Chrysler Town & Country will have foot-operated rear doors

Mon, Aug 31 2015

Families are still months away from actually seeing the next-gen Chrysler Town & Country debut at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show, but details are continuing to trickle out about the upcoming minivan. Among several features rumored in the latest leak, the sliding doors and rear hatch are reportedly optional with foot activation, according to Automotive News. It should make loading the van easier for owners with their hands full. The T&C's powertrain sees some efficiency improvements, too. Under the hood, expect an upgraded version of the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and the already rumored nine-speed automatic, according to Automotive News. For the all-wheel-drive version of the minivan, an electric motor would provide the propulsion at the rear axle. Inside, all of the passengers can arrive with their devices fully charged thanks to USB ports for each of the three rows. Plus, for owners who need to make room to haul, the Stow 'N Go seating is now easier to use, too. Like the latest Honda Odyssey, fastidious buyers might even spec an optional vacuum. Earlier spy shots of the van indicate the switch to a rotary gearshift and upgraded infotainment, as well. Following the Detroit debut, the T&C goes into production in Windsor, Ontario, in late February 2016, Automotive News reports. The plug-in hybrid version would come towards the end of the year possibly capable of 75 mpge.

Reid Bigland appointed CEO of Alfa Romeo, Maserati

Tue, May 24 2016

There's been a big shakeup in Fiat Chrysler's leadership team, as head of US sales and FCA Canada CEO Reid Bigland will replace Harald Wester as the chief exec for Alfa Romeo and Maserati. Wester will retain his position as chief technical officer of FCA. Both men will hang onto their positions on FCA's Group Executive Council. The move is an interesting one considering the widely publicized issues at both Alfa and Maserati. Alfa Romeo's problems are almost too many to list. The brand has promised a full-scale return to the US market for more than a decade, but faced repeated delays. Its latest volume model, the Giulia, is being savaged by reviewers over quality issues, and the company has frequently pushed its upcoming CUV back. If that were the only problem, it'd be annoying, but according to Automotive News, Alfa's relaunch is also considerably over budget. Maserati is an entirely different can of worms. Alongside Alfa, it's been stung by a slow Chinese market. Profits are down, according to Automotive News, and it's been widely rumored that the company will delay its next sports car, the Alfieri, until 2018 – it was previously promised for this year. Meanwhile, two of its three other models, the Quattroporte and GranTurismo, are dangerously long in the tooth, and the Levante is still months away from US sales. Can Bigland sort these issues out? Maybe. As Sergio Marchionne said in his official statement, "[Bigland] has an extraordinary record of growing sales and market share in the US and Canada over the last 7 years at FCA, including leading the growth and positioning of the Ram and Dodge brands for part of that time."
