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.

With the recent chatter that Fiat is looking to move its global headquarters to the US following a complete merger with Chrysler, the Italian government is voicing its opinion on the matter. Facing the potential job loss from the automaker leaving the country, Italy's industry minister is meeting with Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne in what will likely be a plea to keep the company based in Turin rather than moving to Auburn Hills, MI - if indeed it is able to acquire the additional 41.5 percent of Chrysler currently owned by the United Auto Workers. According to Bloomberg, Fiat is Italy's biggest private employer and unemployment is already nearing a 20-year high. The non-car side of Fiat, Fiat Industrial, is already planning a move to the UK, so it goes without saying that Fiat moving would be a pretty big blow for the Italian economy. In the article, Fiat says that the headquarters issue is "not on its agenda now," but that statement is far from a denial.
Fiat has just taken a major step away from its Italian heritage, as shareholders officially approved the company's merger with Chrysler. That move will lead to the formation of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV, a Dutch company based in Great Britain and listed on the New York Stock Exchange, according to Automotive News Europe. The company captured the two-thirds majority at a special shareholders meeting, although there are still a few situations that could defeat the movement. According to ANE, roughly eight percent of shareholders opposed the merger, which is a group large enough to defeat the plan, should they all exercise their exit rights outlined in the merger conditions. Meanwhile, Fiat Chairman John Elkann (pictured above, right, with CEO Sergio Marchionne and Ferrari Chairman Luca Cordero di Montezemolo), the great-great-grandson of Fiat founder Giovanni Agnelli, reaffirmed his family's commitment to the company beyond the merger. Exor, the Agnelli family's holding company, still maintains a 30-percent stake in Fiat.
It's official: The Detroit Three is now The Detroit Two and The Fiat Subsidiary, Chrysler. Both the Italian carmaker and The Pentastar announced the completion of cash payments and a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on future payments necessary to make the Chrysler Group a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fiat. As previously detailed, Chrysler made a cash payment of $1.9 billion and Fiat North America made a cash payment of $1.75 billion to the Voluntary Employment Benefit Association (VEBA) run by the United Auto Workers union. On top of that, Chrysler Group signed an MOU that agrees to payments of $700 million to the VEBA in four installments, the first of which was made concurrently with the other cash payments. And for you trivia mavens, the full name of the UAW is the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America. So go impress your loved ones with that nugget after you check out the press release below.
