Please read entire ad, including watching videos and looking at all the pics, before asking questions. I try to do my best to show the car exactly how it is and I posted a lot of pictures and videos and description so you can see if this is the car for you.

1985 Chrysler Lebaron Coupe Turbo. 77K original Miles. Original California Car. Original Blue license plates. Runs and drives great with no problems. Was owned by older couple most of its life. Top was replaced in the late 90s / early 2000s. Original two tone paint (gold on top, tan yellow cream color on bottom). Original paint is a little faded and could use a repaint to be perfect but overall still looks nice, at least to me, and probably everyone else who likes k cars. Brown interior is in very nice shape. There is only a little sun fade, mainly on the driver seat (see video and pics). It could be dyed again if desired, it is very minor and would be an easy fix. The interior looks very nice and is in great shape for being from 1985. It has an aftermarket kenwood cd player. I have the original radio that came with the car and I will include that as well. It has new front brake pads and 1 new rotor. It has a new TPS (Throttle Position Sensor). New K&N air filter. Clean California title, Current CA registration (sept. 2014) , passed last smog test with very low readings. I havent smogged it for this sale since it is possibly going to be bought by someone out of state and I didn't want to waste my money. I am posting it for sale now because the registration expires in September 2014. If I end up smogging it and registering it then I am probably going to keep it for a while. I bought it in early 2014 when my daily driver truck broke down. I needed a car for a few weeks until I fixed my truck. I saw this one near my house for sale and bought it because I needed a car and also I really like the turbo k cars. This is the 5th one I have had. I previously had a 85 lebaron gts, 84 laser, 85 dodge 600 convertible and a 86 new yorker. They are great cars. This is the nicest one I have had. The Lebaron Coupe is very rare, especially as a turbo, and especially with the low mileage it has and being a California car it has no rust and it is very straight. It only has minor dings and scratches on it (see video and pics). If you are into the turbo k cars and looking to buy one, here is your chance.

Im not too attached to it that I cant sell it and get another one down the line someday. Right now I have too many other cars, boats and other stuff. My dad passed away about 2 years ago and I have a lot of his cars to deal with as well as my own cars. I am sure someday I might be looking for one of these cars and not able to find one and should probably just keep it somewhere until then but I really just dont have the time / space to deal with it right now so if I could sell it to a k car enthusiast that would be ideal. These cars are becoming very collectible, especially a turbo 2 door coupe with 77K original miles on it with the original CA blue license plates. It should be in someone's garage and not sitting outside in Oakland, CA :) Since it is from 1985 Im sure it could use things here and there to make it better as it is not a brand new car and is 30 years old. The driver side window moves a little so sometimes to get it all the way up you have to touch it with your finger to move it over so it can go all the way up correctly (most likely one of the tabs holding it). Its pretty minor of a problem and probably an easy fix or just live with it. I will show it on the interior video below. The front seat is power and works but has a little trouble going all the way back on the passenger side track. It is a 6 way it goes back forward, tilts back and forward and has lumbar up and down. It all works pretty good but maybe could use a little work to be perfect. I will show that in the video as well. Those are pretty much the only 2 things wrong with the car. There are no known leaks or noises. The transmission shifts great. If the car will need anything it will just be regular maintenance, everything on it is pretty solid and original for the most part. If you are a K car enthusiast, you will love this car. It is a great one to start with, finish or use as is. The tires were changed a few years ago but all matching and with good tread. If I think of anything else to put in the ad I will add it. If you have any questions let me know. Check out the video and pictures to see it. The first video shows the color of the car the best and was the same day I washed it. The 2nd video is with a clearer , but cheap HD camera that doesnt show the color of the car as well and was the day after I washed it. The 3rd video is of it starting up and showing the engine and interior. You can make the videos bigger by clicking on the title and watching it on my YT channel. I have put a lot of pictures in html form, so if you are looking from a phone you might need to look from a computer to see all of them.

NHTSA questions FCA's reaction to recalls, will hold public hearing

Wed, May 20 2015

The US Department of Transportation and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are holding a public hearing on July 2 to investigate whether FCA US is failing to fix safety problems and issue necessary notices. The agencies also want detailed accounts of the handling of 20 recalls by June 1 as part of a special order. If the Feds determine that the automaker isn't living up to its legal requirements, the result could go as far as a "buy-back or replacement of affected vehicles." "Significant questions have been raised as to whether this company is meeting its obligations to protect the drivers from safety defects, and today we are launching a process to ensure that those obligations are met," NHTSA administrator Mark Rosekind said in the announcement of the hearing. The 20 recalls that the agencies are investigating date from between 2013 and 2015. Just some of these include the action to make the fuel tanks safer on the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Liberty; FCA US' Takata inflator repairs; inadvertently deploying airbags in the Liberty, Grand Cherokee and Dodge Viper; and the company's ignition switch fix for the Chrysler Town & Country, Grand Caravan and Journey. Failure to submit reports about all of these on time could result in a $7,000 per day fine. You can read the whole list in the PDF for the special order. In a statement to Autoblog, FCA US said, "The average completion rate for FCA US LLC recalls exceeds the industry average and all FCA US campaigns are conducted in consultation with NHTSA. The Company will cooperate fully." The government agencies claim that they have received complaints from customers alleging that they weren't notified of recalls; parts not being available; difficulty getting an appointment, and misinformation from dealers. During the hearing witnesses from FCA US, NHTSA and the public have the opportunity to present evidence on each campaign. U.S. DOT Announces Fiat Chrysler Public Hearing and Issues Special Order NHTSA has concerns about 20 recalls and sets public hearing date for July 2 WASHINGTON – U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx today announced that the Department's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) will hold a public hearing to determine whether automaker Fiat Chrysler has failed to remedy safety defects and issue required notices in 20 recalls.

Fiat brand chief reassigned then resigns amid flagging sales

Tue, Oct 13 2015

Jason Stoicevich was replaced as head of the Fiat brand in North America just the other day. He was immediately reassigned to another job within Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. But according to Automotive News, Stoicevich quit the new job – and the company altogether – the very next day. The development comes amidst flagging sales for the Fiat brand in America. The introduction of the awkward-looking 500L multi-purpose vehicle has been largely regarded as a sales disaster in the US. Despite having just introduced the new 500X into the growing crossover market, and an overall upward trend across FCA group sales, the Fiat brand's figures have been dropping all year. While the Italian brand's volume has fluctuated from month to month compared to last year's sales, the number of cars its dealers sells on an average day has been firmly in decline. Fiat's downward trend reflects a general tendency in the market towards larger vehicles at the expense of smaller ones. However, the powers that be in Auburn Hills evidently felt that a change of leadership was in order, so it placed Dodge chief Tim Kuniskis in charge of all the company's mass-market passenger-car brands – namely Dodge, Chrysler, and Fiat – and moved Stoicevich to running the group's fleet and small-business operations. Stoicevich remained in charge of the company's California Business Center, but it seems as though he was as dissatisfied with the switch as his superiors were with the performance of the brand over which he presided, and so he apparently elected to step down and leave the company.
