Street Machines is proud to present this astonishing 1982 Chrysler LeBaron Mark Cross edition convertible. The introduction of Chrysler's 1982 K-car lineup saved the automaker from bankruptcy. This example is the top-optioned offering for 1982, displaying its original paint, special leather interior, and number's matching drivetrain. This car has always been garage-kept and is in excellent condition. A 2-owner car, this 1st edition 1982 Chrysler Medallion Lebaron Mark Cross Convertible was garaged and Sunday driven by its first owner until 2010 at 25,000 miles. The 2nd owner put just over 5,000 miles on the car until our acquisition. This simply has to be one of the best original K cars in existence today, from the leather to the mechanicals and paint, outstanding car. Few of these cars remain in this kind of condition. I have no idea how many are surviving. You could order this 1st year special convertible in either Mahogany Metallic or this, the Pearl White. Enjoy our presentation and feel free to email or phone with any questions. View our 100% positive customer feedback and bid with 100% confidence. This up and coming collector car is over 32 years old and an official antique.
The exterior showcases all original body panels and paint, down to the original pinstripe down both sides of the car.
The two optional wheels available on the 1982 Chrysler were a decorate wire wheel cover and these full alloy wheels. The tires were recently replaced with new Goodyear Insignia whitewall radials all around. This is a turn-key car with all working amenities. It is in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition.
Open the doors to luxury.
The interior displays showroom fresh and original leather interior. Everything is original in the interior down to the plush carpeting.
The Mark Cross leather upholstery is in excellent condition, very well cared for and it shows. Absolutely Gorgeous saddle leather, with extremely rare 1982 Mark Cross Chrysler factory promotional items.
The dash displays all original gauges and woodgrain trim. The instruments are functional throughout. The dash pad is as new. The speedometer lense face is excellent, the original mileage on display. The air conditioning has been recently serviced with a new line installed. It blows cold on all speeds and the heat blows hot air.
Chrysler's optional stereo system also functions as it should, providing the symphonic experience. The power antenna is also functioning as it should. We also have an un-opened original Sounds of Chrysler cassette that came with this optional stereo for 1982.
Chrysler was very proud of their new small K car platform with front wheel drive and excellent fuel economy characteristics.
Under the hood is the top-optioned for 1982 2.6 liter Mitsubishi-derived in-line 4-cylinder engine. The engine compartment is very clean, original, and detailed. The original decals and markings are intact throughout the engine. The firewall, inner fenders, and core support are excellent. This is a corrosion-free example and it shows.
The engine itself runs smoothly and is fast to start. The transmission shifts correctly and the brakes stop straight. There are no check lights or otherwise faulty illuminations to be found. We are proud of this little LeBaron. The convertible top boot is original and in excellent condition as is the original convertible top, inside and out. The plastic rear window is also clear. The paint has never been repaired or worked. It is original throughout and in remarkable condition. There are a few tiny chip touch-ups and imperfections in the paint along with some nicks in the original pinstripe. You really have to look hard for any flaws in this amazing car. It is corrosion-free underneath with factory undercoating and all original flooring and sheetmetal throughout.
The white convertible top is original, power-operated and in excellent condition.
Underneath the car, you'll find excellent original flooring throughout, never altered or repaired in any way. The suspension components are original and excellent. This car has never been involved in any kind of collision or experienced rust damage, unlike so many K cars. I wonder how many of these cars are left today?
The trunk is excellent, displaying all original carpeting, spare tire/wheel and jacking equipment.
Note the Chrysler-offered Mark Cross umbrella, also in excellent condition, never used along with the leather-bound notebook and factory documents. This car has the original owner's manual and dealer brochure as well. This gold-plated metal plaque is a vintage original piece offered by Chrysler dealers in 1982 to personalize your Mark Cross edition convertible. It is a rare find and is left blank for inscription of your choice. The adhesive backing is still in place, never removed or installed in any way.
Chysler's famed pentastar hood ornament is in excellent condition, as is the exterior brightwork (chrome) throughout this car. Cartier supplied the special jeweled hood ornament for Chrysler, the perfect compliment to the high-end Mark Cross leather interior. Mark Cross was established in 1845 and is still in business today, selling high-end leather goods.

Detroit's Big Three could become the Big Two. According to an AP report in The Detroit News, state officials have been lobbying for Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne to select Tennessee as the location for Fiat's joint headquarters with Chrysler Group LLC. This weekend, Marchionne met with Tennessee governor Bill Haslam at a ceremony celebrating the expansion of a Fiat subsidiary plant in the city of Pulaski. The AP report does not mention any serious talks about headquarters relocation, only that Tennessee officials have been "working me over pretty well," according to Marchionne. Fiat hopes to complete its merger with the Auburn Hills-based automaker sometime next year, and earlier reports have stated that the company is seeking $10 billion in financing to buy the remaining bits of Chrysler. If the company were to relocate, it would join Nissan and Volkswagen in having major American automotive operations in Tennessee. Of course, that whole "Imported From Detroit" thing would need to go out the window, as well.
Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart. This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012. How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.
Following this week's Fiat Chrysler extravaganza, where the Italian-American manufacturer announced its plans for the next five years, the Autoblog staff was cautiously optimistic of the company's future. Investors? Not so much. Fiat saw its shares tumble 12 percent in Wednesday's trading, falling from 8.67 euros ($12.06 at today's rates) to 7.44 euros ($10.35) as of this writing, with blame partly going to the Italian half of the FCA marriage, which recorded a pretty significant drop in profits during the first quarter of this year. The plan, which will cost around $77 billion over the next several years, is facing criticism from investors thanks in part to a 1.4-percent drop in Fiat's first-quarter profits, to 622 million euros ($862 million). That figure is also short of Bloomberg analysts' projections, which predicted $1.18 billion in profits before taxes, interest and one-time items.
