This is a beautiful, low mileage, very good original condition, turbo LeBaron Town & Country woody station wagon, with the Mark Cross leather interior!  This car looks, runs, and drives great while coddling the driver and passengers in plush comfort.  And it is quick yet economical and fun to drive with the 2.2 liter Chrysler turbo engine.

This LeBaron has the wood trim package, the Mark Cross leather interior package, the turbo engine, automatic transmission, AM/FM radio, cargo cover, rear window wiper, tilt wheel, and power windows, power drivers' seat, power locks, power steering, and power brakes.  All of these features work great.  The air conditioning comes on but I have not used it and it is likely low on coolant, as the switch cycles.  The turbo gives quick acceleration, and the car runs, drives, shifts, and stops great, with no known problems or repair needs.  There may be a slow battery draw, I disconnect the battery when the car is sitting for a period.  The tires are about one year old and have less than 1000 miles on them!

The body is rust free, and appears to have no body repairs.  The paint appears to be all original and is in good shape, but could use a good polishing to bring back a better shine.  The wood is excellent, with very few chips or scratches, the largest being on the drivers' door (see photo) and some discoloration on the framing, primarily on the rear hatch.  Even the rocker panels are clean!  There is a minor small bump on the hood, with no broken paint, and which is barely noticeable unless you look at it in just the right light and at the right angle.  The wire wheel covers are in very good condition, with minor scuffing.

The beautiful and comfortable Mark Cross leather interior is really incredible!  The leather is in great condition, including the embossed Mark Cross emblems on the front and rear seat backs.  The dash pad has no cracks, and the headliner is not sagging, and the carpet looks great and is not worn.  The ash tray has a broken corner (see photo) but I will include a replacement ash tray.  Some of the satin silver trim surfaces show aging, but are a very minor and repairable appearance item that could be easily addressed.  The cargo area carpet, trim, and stainless ribs are all in very good shape, and the spare and jack are like new!

Overall this beautiful LeBaron Town & Country looks great in its original Cream Crystal Coat paint and light/medium tan Mark Cross leather interior, probably the best color combination for this car!  The Chrysler turbo motor is dependable, economical, easy to service, and is quick and fun to drive.  It is an affordable, practical, stylish, luxurious, and very 80s classic!

I have clear title in my name.  The car is garaged, and can stay garaged temporarily while you arrange to pick up or transport the car.  I will release the car after payment in full funds have cleared.

I have described this LeBaron as best I can; it is sold as is, where is.  Please ask any questions before you bid.

25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango SUVs recalled over brake feel

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

Chrysler has announced that it is recalling over 25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from several markets over concerns about brake feel under hard braking. The affected models are from the 2012 and 2013 model years, although the actual dates of production aren't available. 18,700 are in the US, while 825 are in Canada, 530 are in Mexico and a further 5,200 outside of North America.
According to a statement, Chrysler was informed of the issue by a component supplier for the Ready Alert Braking system, which primes the brakes in anticipation of an emergency stop. A component in the system was restricting the flow of brake fluid too much.
As Chrysler is quick to point out, the way the brakes functioned was in compliance with regulations and there are no reported cases of drivers losing braking power. Instead, the issue rests with what Chrysler calls a pedal feel that "was not consistent with customer expectations." So it would seem Chrysler is being proactive and fixing a problem not because there's a legal issue at work, but simply because it doesn't feel the way the manufacturer wants it to. Well done.

Marchionne on Alfa's US return, Dodge Dart's powertrain weakness and minivan plans

Fri, 18 Jan 2013

As a reporter covering an auto show, the one opportunity you never want to miss is going to the Sergio Marchionne press briefing.
"This undertaking to bring Alfa back is a one-shot deal... We are not going to do this twice."
There just aren't that many real characters left in the auto industry. Marchionne, who sits atop both Chrysler and Fiat, is not only one of the smartest execs in the business, but also the most frank. Herein, a sample of the quotable always-sweatered executive:

Chrysler museum to open one last time on June 8

Thu, 18 Apr 2013

Due to a lack of funding, Chrysler closed the doors to its Walter P. Chrysler Museum in Auburn Hills, MI back in December, but it sounds like the facility will be open next month for one last hurrah. According to a report in the Detroit Free Press, the Chrysler Museum will be open to the public one last time on June 8 for the annual Chrysler Employee Motorsport Association car show.
While the car show will take place in the museum's parking lot from 9:00 AM until 4:00 PM on June 8 with a theme dedicated to muscle cars past and present, all attendees will be able to be among the last people to tour the museum - with free admission. The museum is known for housing some of the more important production and concept cars from Chrysler's history. Check out the car show's flyer for more information.
