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!

Auto industry insider previews tell-all book, What Did Jesus Drive?

Tue, 11 Nov 2014



"It's about some of the biggest crises in history. It's about who did it right and who did it wrong." - Jason Vines
Jason Vines, the former head of public relations at Chrysler, Ford and Nissan, has seen a lot during his more than 30-year career, and now he's offering a behind-the-scenes look at the auto industry in his tell-all book What Did Jesus Drive? that went on sale this month.

Fiat and UAW back at negotiating table over Chrysler stake

Mon, 23 Dec 2013

We knew there'd be no Chrysler IPO before the end of this year, but Fiat is determined to get the best run going into 2014 and is back at the poker table with the UAW. The delay was said to be Chrysler's desire to clean up a tax issue with the IRS; turns out that also bought the carmaker time to try and close a deal for the UAW's 48.5-percent stake in the company before the IPO happens.
Whereas the price Chrysler was willing to pay was once more than $1 billion under the UAW's asking price, the gap has closed to just $800 million of late. A recent valuation of the company at $10 billion - a valuation the UAW has disputed - means Fiat would be looking to pay about $4.2 billion instead of the $5 billion that the UAW seeks. But the UAW needs to hold out for the highest amount it can get because its pension obligations through the Voluntary Employee Benefit Association (VEBA) are $3.1 billion greater than the VEBA's assets, which include the Chrysler stake.
There's a clause in the agreement that Fiat can buy the VEBA shares for $6 billion, but Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne has said that the UAW "should buy a ticket for the lottery" if they even want $5 billion. The UAW, though, has more time to wait; it's Fiat that wants access to Chrysler's $11.9-billion war chest and that would like to avoid the risk of paying the full $6 billion for the UAW share if the float really takes off. With other valuations of Chrysler as high as $19 billion, a hot IPO could make that $6 billion look like a bargain.

Chrysler-Fiat quality chief out after another poor Consumer Reports showing

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler has announced a management change following the company's woeful performance in the latest Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey. Of the 28 brands surveyed, FCA's marques occupied the five the seven lowest scores, while Dodge, Ram, Jeep and Fiat were the four lowest scorers.
Doug Betts, FCA's 51-year-old head of quality "left the company to pursue other interests," which, considering the aforementioned paragraph, means he was sacked. According to Automotive News, Betts joined Chrysler in 2007, defecting from Nissan, and, insiders report, had a somewhat tumultuous relationship with new boss Sergio Marchionne.
His replacement is the newly promoted Matthew Lidane (shown at inset), who was formerly VP of systems and components. Lidane has been at Chrysler since 1987 and was previously chief engineer of the Jeep product team as well as the vehicle line boss for the compact US wide platform which (ironically) underpins two of FCA's lowest scoring vehicles, the Dodge Dart and Jeep Cherokee.
