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! |

FCA goes natural with CNG fleet
Wed, Dec 9 2015FCA Transport, the fleet of tractor trailers owned by FCA US that hauls parts from suppliers and to assembly plants, is going green. By converting its 179 trucks from diesel to compressed natural gas, CO2 emissions will drop by 16,000 tons per year based on the cumulative 16 million miles the fleet covers annually. That is roughly equivalent to the yearly energy use of 1,500 homes, the same as not burning more than 17 million pounds of coal. FCA says rolling out the largest CNG-powered truck fleet in Michigan took two years to execute and a $40-million investment, including $5 million to build the largest private CNG station on the continent. It also required the assistance of Cummins, Allison Transmission, and Agility Fuel Systems. There is an upside for FCA Transport in all of this: the company estimates fuel savings of 35 percent from not having to buy 2.6 million gallons of diesel every year. It's probably no coincidence that this announcement comes as world leaders tackle the same problems at the Paris Climate Change Conference. The press release below has more. FCA US Launches Largest Private Fleet of Natural Gas-Powered Semitrucks in the State of Michigan- Company announces $40 million investment in Detroit to convert 179 parts-hauling trucks to compressed natural gas (CNG)- Investment includes facility and infrastructure upgrades and the installation of the largest private CNG fueling station in North America- Fleet's transition to CNG will reduce CO2 emissions by more than 16,000 tons per yearDecember 4, 2015 , Detroit - FCA US LLC announced today that it has invested $40 million in FCA Transport, the FCA US-owned truck fleet, to convert its 179 Detroit-based parts-haulers to run on compressed natural gas (CNG) rather than traditional diesel. The move gives FCA the largest private fleet of CNG-powered heavy-duty vehicles in the state of Michigan."Our transition to CNG reflects the way FCA US attempts to balance our search for profitability with social responsibility and community development, including environmental stewardship," said Steve Beahm, Senior Vice President – Supply Chain Management, FCA – North America. "This project was a win-win-win – it offered a solid business case, clear environmental benefits and an opportunity to invest in our Detroit facility and workforce."FCA Transport, built in 1965, is located on Lynch Road in Detroit, just across from the Detroit City Airport.
Chrysler says its 8-speed transmissions will save 700 million gallons
Thu, Jun 19 2014Chrysler Group's TorqueFlite eight-speed transmission could be earning some serious green bragging rights if the company's projections are correct. The recently widely proliferated automatic gearbox, which is now in more than a million vehicles around the world, is poised to save drivers an estimated 700+ million gallons of fuel over the vehicles' lifetimes (an expected cost savings of $2.5 billion). In addition, Chrysler expects a reduction in CO2 emissions by more than six million metric tons. According to Chrysler, and depending on the vehicle, the TorqueFlite can improve fuel economy. The TorqueFlite autobox features particularly close ratios from fifth to eighth gear (see the press release below for the specific numbers), and uses low-viscosity fluid that doesn't need to be replaced. Transmission software adapts to the driving situation to optimize efficiency based on driver behavior, temperature, grade, stability control, and longitudinal and lateral acceleration. The TorqueFlite is capable of handling a variety of duties. As evidenced by the wide range of vehicles Chrysler Group has seen fit to equip with the eight-speed transmission, the TorqueFlite is capable of handling a variety of duties. Since its 2012 introduction, the TorqueFlite has gone from performing cog-swapping duties in Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 models equipped with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 to changing gears in vehicles such as the Pentastar- and Hemi-powered Dodge Durango, Jeep Grand Cherokee and even the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. For the 2015 model year, the eight-speed is finding its way into even more vehicles with the addition of a third version. In addition to the American-made TorqueFlite 845RE and 8HP70, the new 8HP90 will be manufactured in Saarbrucken, Germany. The 8HP90 is designed for higher torque loads, making it ideal for high-performance vehicles like the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. The already-in-use 8HP70 will expand its duties to be used in 2015 Hemi models such as the Dodge Charger, Challenger, and Challenger SRT8. You can see the list of those benchmarks in Chrysler's press release below.
Certain Chrysler owners eligible for buyback program
Mon, Jul 27 2015Certain car owners whose Chrysler vehicles contain dangerous defects will soon have a way to get rid of their lemons without losing money. As part of an agreement with federal regulators, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has agreed to buy back more than 500,000 vehicles susceptible to veering out of control without warning at above market-value prices. The deal mainly covers certain models of RAM trucks, the Dodge Dakota pickup and Dodge Durango SUV. Further, owners of more than 1.5 million Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokees at heightened risk for lethal fires are eligible to trade in their vehicles at above market value or, alternately, get a gift certificate if they prefer to have repairs made. Chrysler has "a heavy responsibility to make sure the products they make are safe for the traveling public," said Mark Rosekind, administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. "... Here, we are sending an unambiguous signal to industry that if you skirt the laws or violate the law, or don't live up to the responsibility that consumers expect, we are going to penalize you." The buy-back and trade-in options for motorists come as part of an unprecedented penalty NHTSA slapped against Chrysler for violating federal motor-vehicle safety laws. Chrysler will pay a $105 million fine, the highest ever levied by the regulatory agency. In addition to the buy-backs, Chrysler also agreed to an independent monitor for three years. Investigators had outlined problems in the company's conduct in 23 recalls that affected more than 11 million defect vehicles. As part of a consent-order agreement, Chrysler acknowledged it did not notify vehicle owners of recalls in an effective manner and did not notify NHTSA of safety problems. Though those recalls affected millions of drivers, the buy-back and trade-in options are only for a small portion of the vehicles involved. Because Chrysler struggled to fix the problem and no repair was apparent, Rosekind said the buy-backs are reserved "for customers who didn't have a remedy." Buy-backs are for trucks and SUVs affected by three recalls that occurred in 2013 (recalls 13V-038, 13V-527 and 13V-529), that addressed a rear-axle pinion nut that could come loose and cause a loss of vehicle control. Those recalls covered 579,228 vehicles, including 2009-2012 Ram 1500, 2500, 3500, 4500 and 5500 trucks, 2009-2012 Dodge Dakotas, 2009 Chrysler Aspen and the 2009 Dodge Durango.
