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.

Ford, Chrysler and Mazda expand scope of Takata airbag recalls
Fri, Dec 5 2014The scope of the Takata airbag inflator recall is ballooning once again across the United States. Where Honda has elected to take its driver-side airbag campaign nationwide, Chrysler Group and Ford have now announced expanded regional actions to cover some passenger-side airbag inflators. Mazda is adding more regions, as well. For Chrysler Group, the campaign covers the inflators on 149,150 examples of the 2003-model-year Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickups. The recall is limited to vehicles sold or ever registered in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and the territories of American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, Saipan, and the Virgin Islands. The company will begin notifying affected customers on January 19. According to Chrysler's announcement of the action, the passenger side inflators in these trucks "are of a type that is not used in any of the other vehicles affected by Chrysler Group's regional field action." The automaker says that it's not aware of any actual failures or accidents in these pickups and even claims there are no "observed failures in laboratory testing of its airbag modules." The company is continuing to study the problem, though. Ford is taking a similar step by issuing a recall of inflators for 38,500 examples of the 2004-2005 Ranger and 2005-2006 Ford GT. The campaign only affects vehicles originally sold or ever registered in Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Certain zip codes of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Guam, Saipan and American Samoa are also covered. There's already precedent for passenger-side airbags to be covered under the Takata inflator recall. When many automakers announced campaigns in June, BMW, Chrysler, Ford, Honda, Mazda, Nissan and Toyota all included that side in some of their repairs. Subaru subsequently did, as well. In addition, Mazda is expanding the scope of its recall to add Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Saipan, Guam, American Samoa, US Virgin Islands, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas to the affected areas. The company estimates that it has a total of 86,773 vehicles in need of repair. Mazda is also teaming with Toyota to begin independent testing of the Takata inflators. Scroll down to read all of the automakers' announcements of these newly expanded recalls. Statement: Air-Bag Inflators December 3, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich.
Stellantis is official: FCA and PSA merger finally sealed
Sat, Jan 16 2021MILAN — Fiat Chrysler and PSA sealed their long-awaited merger on Saturday to create Stellantis, the world's fourth-largest auto group with deep enough pockets to fund the shift to electric driving and take on bigger rivals Toyota and Volkswagen. It took over a year for the Italian-American and French automakers to finalize the $52 billion deal, during which the global economy was upended by the COVID-19 pandemic. They first announced plans to merge in October 2019, to create a group with annual sales of around 8.1 million vehicles. "The merger between Peugeot S.A. and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. that will lead the path to the creation of Stellantis N.V. became effective today," the two automakers said in a statement. Shares in Stellantis, which will be headed by current PSA Chief Executive Carlos Tavares, will start trading in Milan and Paris on Monday, and in New York on Tuesday. Now analysts and investors are turning their focus to how Tavares plans to address the huge challenges facing the group – from excess production capacity to a woeful performance in China. Tavares will hold his first press conference as Stellantis CEO on Tuesday, after ringing NYSE's bell with Chairman John Elkann. FCA and PSA have said Stellantis can cut annual costs by over 5 billion euros ($6.1 billion) without plant closures, and investors will be keen for more details on how it will do this. Marco Santino, a partner at consultants Oliver Wyman, said he expected Tavares to disclose the outlines of his action plan soon, but without divulging too many details at first. "He has proven to be the kind of person who prefers action to words, so I don't think he will make loud statements or try to over-sell targets," he said. Like all global automakers, Stellantis needs to invest billions in the years ahead to transform its vehicle range for the electric era. But other pressing tasks loom, including reviving the group's lagging fortunes in China, rationalizing its huge global empire and addressing massive overcapacity. "It will be a step by step process, also to allow the market to better appreciate every single move. I don't think we will have all the details before one year," Santino said.
Chrysler patents smarter minivan folding seats
Thu, 02 Jan 2014It's frightening to think of how quickly the mice would have overtaken us if we hadn't stayed one step ahead of them with better mousetraps. We'll never have to worry about that in our relentlessly re-engineered world, though. Case in point: Chrysler has been granted a patent by the US Patent and Trademark Office for an improved design of the already wondrous Stow 'n' Go seating found in the automaker's Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans.
Introduced in 2005, the Stow 'n' Go was improved in 2008, and based on the drawings of this third-generation improvement, the new design appears to allow stowage of the second row of seats without having to move the front-row seats forward as much. It look like it also involves fewer operations and moving parts, with a portion of the seatback being incorporated into the flat floor when the seats are stowed, as opposed to having a completely separate cover.
It's possible that the innovation may appear on the next-generation minivans expected in 2015, but Chrysler isn't commenting on the patent.
