 This 1986 Chrysler LeBaron Mark Cross edition convertible is a true survivor that has spent the last 28 years being very gently driven and cared for.  It was delivered to its original owner - a prominent Toledo businessman - at Valiton Motors of Toledo, Ohio on August 1 of that same year and was used primarily by his socialite wife in the summer months.  The body of the car is straight and clean and has never been rusted.  The only exception is some very slight bubbles that are just starting to form in the paint on the trunk lid by the LeBaron badge (shown in pictures).

It wears its original paint, which is in excellent condition with a lot of lustre and shine to it.  The car is light cream in color with a tan pinstripe and a tan convertible top.  The top is in good condition overall.  The motor work and the top raises and lowers well.  The stitching that surrounds the rear window is beginning to come undone because of the age of the threads and will need to be restitched (shown in pictures).  The convertible boot is in the trunk of the car and is in perfect condition. The original wire wheels are in excellent condition and the white wall tires have good tread life.  The brakes are in great working condition on the car.  All of the lights and gauges in the car work. 

The car has cream-colored Mark Cross leather interior with a slightly darker tan dash.  The leather seats are the most comfortable car seats I have ever sat in.  There are no rips or tears in the leather, but there is some slight cracking to the leather, consistent with the age of the seats and the quality of the leather that was used in cars of the 1980s.  The dash has no cracks or blemishes.  The interior of the car is immaculately clean - the carpeting, the floor mats, the dash and the seats.  It has a power driver's seat that is full working order.  The AM/FM stereo/ cassette works, as does the cruise control.  As is often the case with cars of this vintage, the air conditioning does not blow cold as a result of having lost its charge.  But who cares... this is a convertible... it was made for top-down driving.

The original 2.2L Turbo engine is in good shape and has been checked by the local Chrysler dealership.  The carburetor was recently cleaned and they found everything else, including the turbocharger, to be in good working order.  The car starts right up and it does not leak and smoke.  The transmission is in great shape.  It shifts right into gear and has no clunking, slipping, or any other indications of wear.  The brakes are in good condition and work well.  The tires still have good tread life.  I just replaced the front axles on the car, which had worn from age.

This is a wonderful car in great condition and a beautiful example of the car that saved Chrysler.  I've tried to be honest about any issues that the car has, and to document them with photos here in the listing.  I'd be happy to answer any questions and will consider all fair and reasonable offers for the car.  That it has been garage-kept its entire life will come as no surprise to anyone who sees it in person.

Even with the new position, Gorlier continues to be the boss at Mopar and retains his seat on FCA's global executive council, which is the company's top decision-making group. This is essentially one more step up the ladder for the Turin-born executive. Gorlier became CEO of Mopar service, parts, and customer care for FCA US in 2009 and took over that role worldwide in 2011. FCA announces new appointment Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V.

Chrysler 300C John Varvatos Limited Edition returns for 2014 with AWD option

Thu, 30 Jan 2014

Before last year, many of us car guys had no idea who John Varvatos was. That all changed when the Detroit-native fashion designer lent his talents to the Chrysler 300 to create the snazzy, special-edition 300C John Varvatos models. The fashionable sedan returns for 2014 with two versions (Luxury and Limited), and the only big news here is that the latter model will be getting an optional all-wheel-drive system.
Distinguishing the Luxury and Limited models, the Luxury comes with Platinum exterior accents and is offered in a handful of colors while the Limited gets darker Titanium accents and only comes with a Phantom Black Tri-Coat paint job. Both cars get an exclusive interior design with special leathers, patterns and colors worthy of the designer's name and logo. The JV Edition is the only 300C to offer a V6 engine, but V8 lovers can still opt up for the powerful Hemi engine.
It would appear that the Luxury Edition is already on sale, but you'll have to wait until March for the 2014 JV Limited Edition, which, according to a Chrysler spokesperson, will be "limited from a production timing standpoint." The JV Luxury Edition starts at $41,195 and the Limited Edition will have a starting price of $44,480 (*not including $995 for destination) - both cars can be optioned with all-wheel drive for $2,500. Scroll down for the press release on the 300C John Varvatos Limited Edition.

Fiat board makes Chrysler merger official, approves $5.4B bond sale

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

Fiat's board of directors has officially approved the merger plan that will see the conglomerate's automotive operations merged with Chrysler into the new Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.
The plan essentially provides a road map for the structure of the new company. It includes provisions for Fiat shareholders - one Fiat share will translate to one share of FCA common stock. The new company will also include a loyalty voting structure, which will provide for shareholders of Fiat stock or those that have held FCA stock for at least three years. According to the plan, these shareholders would see their voting power double, with two votes for every share of FCA's common stock. The overall merger plan still needs to be approved by the company's shareholders.
In other Fiat-related news, the company's board has announced a bond issuance of four billion euro ($5.4 billion). The new bonds should provide the company with a degree of flexibility in refinancing debts associated with the merger plan.
