 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.

Fiat, PSA poised to win EU approval for $38 billion Stellantis merger

Mon, Oct 26 2020

BRUSSELS/MILAN — Fiat Chrysler and PSA are set to win EU approval for their $38 billion merger to create the world's No.4 carmaker, people close to the matter said, as they strive to meet the industry's dual challenges of funding cleaner vehicles and the global pandemic. The green light from the European Commission would formalize the creation of Stellantis, a carmaking group that could tap hefty profits from selling Ram pickup trucks and Jeep SUVs to U.S. drivers to fund the expensive development of zero-emission vehicles for sale in Europe and China. The all-share merger announced late last year would unite brands such as Fiat, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Maserati with the likes of Peugeot, Opel and DS — while targeting annual cost cuts of 5 billion euros ($6 billion) without closing factories. The Commission and Italian-American group Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) declined to comment. France's PSA did not immediately respond to a request for comment. PSA and FCA shares reversed losses after the Reuters story was published. PSA stock was last up 2% at 16.83 euros, while FCA shares were 1.9% higher at 11.31 euros. To allay EU antitrust concerns, PSA has offered to strengthen Japanese rival Toyota Motor Corp, with which it has a van joint venture, by ramping up production and selling it vans at close to cost price, the people said. FCA and PSA will also allow their dealers in certain cities to repair rival brands. Following feedback from rivals and customers, the carmakers only had to tweak the wording of their concessions, with no changes to the substance, the people said. The companies did not have to use the COVID-19 pandemic to argue for the merger, they added. FCA and PSA have said they hope to complete the merger in the first quarter of 2021. The challenge of switching to electric cars has been complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Just last month, FCA and PSA restructured the terms of their deal to conserve cash and raised their targeted cost savings because of the economic fallout from the health crisis. The companies have said about 40% of the savings will come from product-related expenses, 40% from purchasing and 20% from other areas, such as marketing, IT and logistics.

Sergio rethinks FCA-GM merger idea, dismisses critics

Sat, Dec 5 2015

After many public overtures, Fiat Chrysler Automotive CEO Sergio Marchionne has claimed his company won't be making a hostile takeover bid for General Motors. This is despite widespread speculation that FCA's desire to merge was motivated by its allegedly dire situation. As one unnamed GM exec who spoke to Automotive News earlier this year put it, "Why should [GM] bail out FCA?" "We are not choking. We are in relatively decent shape," Marchionne told journalists attending an FCA shareholder meeting in Amsterdam, AN reports. "We have been publicly rebuffed, we have been rejected and you cannot force these things. I don't want to. At the moment, we have no intention to do anything hostile." Instead of focusing on merging with GM, or any other partners for that matter, FCA will refocus on implementing its ambitious five-year investment plan, which would see it dump $52 billion into its various brands, with a particular focus on Alfa Romeo, Maserati, and Jeep. So far the attempt has largely been unsuccessful, especially as it relates to the Italian brands. Earlier this week, additional reports emerged that claimed Alfa was pushing back the Giulia and an unnamed CUV while reassigning resources to updated versions of the Giulietta and MiTo hatchbacks. This is not the first time we've heard about trouble for the Giulia, of course. For Masearti, though, it was the first we'd heard of delays for Alfieri sports car, which allegedly won't appear in 2016, as promised. We can expect a proper breakdown of FCA's adjusted plans when Marchionne and Company reveal an updated product slate next month.
