There’s no reason. BUY IT

Our family experience with a LeBaron: it was fine while it lasted.

Is your name Kitty/Karen?

I don’t see a T1 badge on the side and it’s probably got the Mitsubishi 2.6 in it?

If it isn’t rusty grab it then start working on your pornstache

It is a LeBaron. That’s warning enough.

If you live near me, it’s a convertible.

Don’t trade your MG for it!

This car was scrap 30 years ago.

Not bad for 2K , kind of a steal. Just make sure it doesn’t have any major rust areas and runs decently but it looks pretty rust free to me. If you have the cash and can afford probably an extra few thousand in repairs down the line I’d say go ahead. Life isn’t worth living if you don’t do fun stuff

I will do no such thing. I think you should.

If its a 2.2, its a very easy engine to work on. The 2.2 is rock solid. I have had many, and,as far as reliability is concerned, I’ve never had an issue with any of them. If its an auto, the K413 transmission is also perfectly reliable.
Your only issue may be rust and parts availability.
The K cars from the early eighties were extremely simple vehicles, and you can do almost anything you want to ’em with a little time and some jackstands.
The 2.2 is also highly modifiable. Cam swaps are a no brainer. You can add twin sidedraft carbs to it or fuel injection very easily.
You can also swap teansmissions for a 5-speed without too much trouble l.
If I found K based lebaron for 2 grand in that condition, it would be a no-brainer for me.

Are you changing your name from Kitty to Karen?

Because you should hold out for the “Town & County” version with fake wood on the outside.
efyeahhh
Do it, and wear your short skirt and long jacket.

They are rather miserable to drive, but I ain’t here to yuck your yum. If you like it go for it.

I know it’s not the same generation, but reading this made me immediately think about Freddy Got Fingered.

Legendary car!

looks like that front tire was flat based on the ‘water stain” on the sidewall, how long was this baby sitting? I wouldn’t spend my money on a 42yr old Chrysler… but i do think you should spend your on it and keep it on the road and going, Love to see malaise era cars still rolling.

My grandma went to trade one of those in at a dealer. While driving it to prove that it works, after they rounded the corner the brakes went out, so they were stuck with it.

Because I’m on my way right now to pick it up

I only see one LeBaron Freddy. I don’t see two LeBarons.

Everybody’s talking at me, but I can’t hear a word they’re saying, just driving around in Jon Voight’s car…

DO IT.
I have a white 86 and while I haven’t had time to drive it lately, I love it. Needs some body work, but not going to do that until I build my garage next year to put it in once its done.

Because it’s a K car
billmr606
you will have to push it up hills.
will not go over 60mph and will take 30 seconds to get there from a stop
you may get rear ended trying to get on the freeway after going down a steep onramp
if you drive over a piece of bubble gum in the road you might get stuck

It’s a Chrysler LeBaron. That’s reason enough not to buy it.
TryMyBacon
Does that come with the wheels or is it a bring your own wheels special

I’m 31 and the older I get the more I like cars like these lol

I used to have almost that exact car (it may have been an ‘84) in dark blue with a cream top in the mid-‘80s.

If I had a million dollars I’d buy you a K Car, a nice reliant automobile
