For Sale: 1989 Chrysler LeBaron in Milwaukie , Oregon for sale in Portland, OR
Vehicle Description I met the little red convertible when my friend and customer Bob brought it into my repair shop for some service work.
It was love at first sight.
I want to buy it, I said to Bob.
sorry, it is my wife's baby, and there is no way that she will sell it to you.
Several years later, Bob showed up at my repair shop and said:
today is the day.
I looked confused.
He repeated.
you mean I get to buy the Lebanon today? He said that they decided the night before that she wasn't going to drive anymore.
They wanted the car to go to a good home.
That be me.
Not only was I honored, but so happy.
That was about 15 years ago.
It has been my wife and my summer date car ever since.
Over the years we fixed anything and everything the little dear needed.
The LeBaron has new electric window motors in the rear.
They are really a big deal, time and money wise.
Front electric head light retractors.
New cylinder head gasket.
Brakes, etc.
nothing else has needed actual repairs.
It had never been stored, or even parked overnight outside for all I know.
Bobs wife surely didn't leave it outside and neither have we.
This is a big reason it is such a little Diamond .
Today.
I am selling it is because it lost its parking spot, in the garage, to our 2016 Hellcat! Sorry, I love the cool little convertible, but I can't relate to building a $40,000 garage to keep a $10,000 car.
707 horsepower is trumping 175, even if the convertible is fun to drive.
I would describe the LeBaron as Perfect, but it is an unbelievable 35 years old.
Nearly perfect is a better phrase.
it is all original.
If you have specific I would be more that happy to discuss them with you.
I have left the 2.
5 liter 4 cyl turbo charged engine stock.
The spec for horsepower is 174.
It is really fun to drive with the turbo charger.
Without the turbo, I think it could be boring.
These are tough little motors, with lots of HP options if you desire.
If you truly feel you need more Giddy Up it would be easy to do.
We want this car to go to a good home.
it is a Cool Car.
let us know if you are interested.
