Low Miles Survivor Chrysler Lebaron Mark Cross Town&country Turbo Station Wagon on 2040-cars
Upper Marlboro, Maryland, United States
This preserved survivor 1987 Chrysler LeBaron Town&Country station wagon is the ultimate 1980s retro-mobile! Super luxurious and comfortable with its Mark Cross leather seats, deep carpeting, power driver seat, AM/FM/Cassette, super 1980s status with its wood trim in excellent condition, white walls and wire wheel covers, and hood ornament, fun and fast to drive with its turbo engine and front wheel drive, and yet practical with room in the wagon to bring the picnic to the next car show! The LeBaron looks, runs, and drives great. The over the top Mark Cross leather interior is in amazing condition. The seats and door panels show very little wear; the headliner is just a few years old (no sagging headliner here!), there are no cracks or fading in the dash. The power drivers seat is very comfortable and works great; all power windows work, power locks work, and the AMFM radio works (I have never used the cassette player). With the tilt wheel and the power seat, it is a smooth and comfortable ride! And for the ultimate in 1980s retro mobile show, the period cell phone (remember they were called 'car phones') is on a stand facing the rear seat passenger! The phone appears to have been installed when the car was purchased new, and the original cell phone owners manual is included. The only notable cosmetic item is a broken plastic trim piece at the drivers seat lower side by the seat controls; it is barely noticeable even when pointed out, and in now way affects the seat or seat mechanism. The power rear view mirrors do not work. The really cool period digital dash display works great and includes full instrumentation, which shows that this LeBaron is in great running condition, as gages work showing the oil pressure, temperature, and alternator are all performing in good operating ranges. Mechanically, the LeBaron starts right up, sounds great, and is very quick. Brakes work fine, the transmission shifts smoothly into and through gears, steering feels fine and it makes no unusual noises. Even the cruise control works! The air conditioning comes on, but blows only moderately cool. The LeBaron has largely been stored for the last few years, always indoors, and started periodically. I have taken it on short drives over the last several weeks, and it has started, run, driven, and braked great, but I would recommend changing fluids and inspecting the car before taking it on a longer trip. The body on this LeBaron is in excellent condition, I can see absolutely no rust anywhere. The wood is overall in excellent condition, probably better than any other period LeBaron woody that I have seen. The LeBaron has had some minor body work to the front bumper and hood at some point in the past, and the paint on the hood has some minor and hard to see checking. The wood trim panels on the left front fender and left front door have some minor damage (see photos) but the rest of the wood is really in amazing condition, without the fading and yellowing that is on almost all of these woody wagons, and with only very minor wear or chips. The shiny aluminum trim around the windows is in excellent, shiny condition, again this is almost always somewhat faded but on this car it looks great. The roof rack is also in great condition, and has its tie down attachments. Finally, the LeBaron has a set of new old stock wire wheel covers, all in excellent condition, without curb rash or deterioration. I only put the new wheel covers on for the photos, and have stored them in the car so that they are not damaged. The luggage compartment is clean and is not faded, but the hatch struts need to be replaced. The spare tire appears to be the unused original! This is a very obviously well cared for, garaged, original survivor LeBaron Town & Country turbo wagon. You can't get more 1980s than this... and you can cruise to local car shows with your gear in the time capsule wagon. It is fun to drive and shows well. I have described this LeBaron to the best of my knowledge; it is a 27 year old car and is sold as is, where is. If you have any questions, please ask before you bid! A bid is a contract to purchase the car if you are the high bidder! Bidders with zero or negative feedback please contact me before bidding or I reserve the right to cancel your bid. The buyer is responsible for picking up the car or for transport, though I can assist to meet a transport provider. I can store the car indoors for a short time while pick up arrangements are being made. A non refundable $500 deposit is due within 24 hours of auction end; the balance in cash or USPS money order are due within seven days of auction end. I have clear title in my name and it will be provided and the car released when payment in full has been made and funds are cleared. I hope that you will enjoy this time capsule LeBaron turbo wagon! |

Fiat Chrysler's London offices will be small, with financial focus
Tue, 20 May 2014Fiat Chrysler's decision to locate its new corporate headquarters in jolly old London won't herald a sprawling relocation effort. Instead, it's very likely that the FCA outfit will be a small one, primarily focused on finance.
The report comes from Automotive News Europe, which claims FCA's London office will employ about 50 people with backgrounds in finance. CEO Sergio Marchionne and Fiat Group Chairman John Elkann will both have offices at the corporate headquarters, as well.
ANE cites an anonymous source that claims the people employed at the London office will focus primarily on treasury operations. It's unlikely that FCA will take on any additional employees specifically for its UK offices. That said, FCA isn't likely to downsize either its Turin or Auburn Hills offices once London comes online.
Why this could be the perfect time for Apple to make a car play
Fri, Aug 31 2018While the automotive and technology worlds have been pouring billions into autonomous vehicles (AVs) and preparing to bring them to market soon as shared robo-taxis, Apple has mostly sat on the sidelines. Of course, Apple is the last company to ever make its intentions known, and the super-secret tech cult giant hasn't been totally out of the AV game based on the clues that have slipped out of its Cupertino, Calif., citadel over the past few years. Related: Apple self-driving cars are real — one was just in an accident News first broke in 2015 that it had assembled an automotive development team, in part by poaching high-profile talent from car companies, to work on a top-secret self-driving vehicle project code-named Titan. (Thank you very much, Nissan.) Apple also subsequently broke cover by making inquiries into using a Northern California AV testing facility and receiving a permit to test AVs on public roads in California. But then as the AV race started to heat up in the last few years, Apple reportedly began scaling back its car activities by downsizing team Titan. More recently, Apple's car project has shown signs of life with the hiring a high-level engineer away from Waymo and luring one Tesla's top engineers and a former employee back to Apple. It also inked a deal with Volkswagen to provide a technology platform and software to convert the automaker's new T6 Transporter vans into autonomous shuttles for employees at tech company's new campus. That is a far cry from giving rides to Wal-Mart shoppers, like Waymo is doing as part of its AV testing in Phoenix. But this could be the perfect time for Apple to enter the AV market now that ride-sharing is reaching critical mass and automakers and others are planning to deploy fleets of robo-taxis. Apple could easily establish a niche as a high-end ride-sharing service – and charge a premium – given its cult-like brand loyalty and design savvy. The growth of car subscription models could also play in Apple's favor since is already has many people hooked on paying for phones in monthly installments – and eager to upgrade when a new and better model becomes available. To achieve this, some believe Apple will fulfill co-founder and CEO Steve Job's dream of building a car. And as the world's first and only $1 trillion company it's sitting on a mountain of cash that certainly gives it the means. But other tech darlings like Tesla and Google have discovered how difficult it can be to build cars at scale.
Fiat Chrysler Australia executive in trouble over misuse of company funds
Tue, Jun 9 2015While the merger to create FCA was coming together, its managing director for Australia, Clyde Campbell, was allegedly racking up 30 million Australian dollars ($23.1 million) in spending for himself, family, and friends. Now, the former boss is facing a court case from the automaker's legal team for the purported misappropriation. Among the more opulent expenses that Campbell allegedly put on Chrysler's tab included a 40-foot yacht worth the equivalent of $308,000 and lavish Christmas parties for workers, according to The Age. Despite being required to only travel in economy class and get permission for international travel, he also reportedly racked up the equivalent of over $413,000 travel expenses. "The more we dug, the more we found," said an unnamed source to The Age. Campbell came to power in Australia as a general manager for DaimlerChrysler, and became managing director in October 2010. He was reportedly a close friend with former Mercedes-Benz USA CEO Ernst Lieb. After Lieb lost his wrongful dismissal lawsuit, Campbell allegedly helped his friend's partnership in an Aussie auto dealer by using FCA funds for financial support totaling the equivalent of about $3 million. All of this came to light when Pat Dougherty came over from the US to be president and CEO of FCA Australia in December 2014. The staff spilled the full story on Dougherty's first day. "I walked into his office and let it all out. I don't think he knew what hit him," another source said to The Age. A team of forensic accountants was brought in to investigate. The reason that this took so long to discover was that no one was paying attention. First, sales in Australia were growing under Campbell. Also, "in my opinion, back in Michigan, head office didn't have its eyes on the road. They only had eyes on the Fiat deal," an insider said to The Age. That confluence essentially provided the perfect storm for this huge spending. News Source: The AgeImage Credit: Giuseppe Cacace / AFP / Getty Images Government/Legal Chrysler Fiat lawsuit FCA
