Oakland, California, United States

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. 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. I am posting it for sale now because the registration expires in September 2014. If I end up smogging it and registering it then I am probably going to keep it for a while. 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 minor dings and scratches on it (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. There are no known leaks or noises. 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.

Fiat-Chrysler shows its SEMA lineup
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles already previewed its 2014 SEMA show lineup with some slick renders. Now, the automaker has finally showed us the actual cars, and among the group there are definitely some that stand out more than others.
Dodge is really showing off its muscle at this year's show with four concepts that all pump up the power of the brand's models. Perhaps most interesting among them is the Challenger T/A Concept (pictured above) in striking Sublime Green and matte black. It's meant to resemble the classic Trans Am racer from the '70s. Under the hood is a 6.4-liter V8, and to fit the vintage style there's a pistol-grip gearshift inside.
The Charger R/T also gets some attention with the Mopar concept that shows off what FCA's aftermarket performance arm can do. Mods include an updated body kit, cold-air intake for the 5.7-liter V8 and a coil-over suspension kit. Beyond that, the Dart R/T Concept looks a lot meaner with a black hood with duct work that leads straight to the air intake. The rest of the compact sedan is dolled up in O-So-Orange paint and is fitted with upgrades to improve handling like a coil-over suspension and big brake kit from the Mopar catalog.
Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.
How the demise of Lincoln's Town Car has kick-started a limo revolution
Sun, 30 Dec 2012The deaths of the Ford Crown Victoria and the Lincoln Town Car have meant overhauls of three high-profile American fleets: police, taxi and livery car. Just as police fleets are more open to considering other options and a Nissan van is the new face of the NYC taxi, livery car companies are looking at replacements for the Town Car beyond The Blue Oval. Ford, via Lincoln, has made an MKT Town Car (pictured), but an article in the Detroit News claims "it has failed to win over most of the big limousine companies." The upstarts trying to move in include livery and limo editions of the Cadillac XTS, and livery specifications of the Toyota Avalon and Chrysler 300.
Each of those challengers, however, faces challenges. The Town Car was a workhorse, American, rear-wheel-drive sedan with plenty of rear legroom. Cadillac has been in the livery space before but with decontented models that were about selling the brand, not its luxury. It is taking the opposite approach with the XTS, pointing out that its livery edition is "contented in the upper half of the XTS range." Still, the CEO of Michigan's largest livery company says "it's quite a bit smaller than what we're used to," and he also prefers rear-wheel drive.
The Chrysler 300 is rear-wheel drive, and American, which matters to some companies, but Chrysler hasn't yet revealed the livery package for it. The livery Avalon marks Toyota's first time getting into that business in the US, a natural step after having done so well with taxi clients and with the Town Car out of the way. Still, the livery client is a different to taxi buyers, so the Avalon could face other soft-touch hurdles.
