OFFERS WELCOME! Evolve Motors is pleased to present this 1984 Chrysler LeBaron Turbo Convertible! Of the 109,793 Chrysler LeBarons produced for the 1984 model year, only 8,275 were Mark Cross Convertibles. The Mark Cross package, which equipped these cars with an opulent leather interior, was an $860 option at the time, $2,180 in today’s money. We like this car for a number of reasons. First off, it’s unmistakably 1980s. The gold paint with brown pinstripes, the digital dash display, Chrysler’s voice communication system, and the fact that there is no shortage of Turbo badges all scream early 80s luxury. We’re fond of cars that are out-of-the-ordinary, and this car is certainly that. We purchased the car from a gentleman in Montana, who drove the car frequently and maintained it well. The previous owner even installed a block heater with an electrical plug in the front grille, so that he could warm the motor before starting it on cold days. Exterior: First off, paint. Gold paint with brown pinstripes is original and shows nicely, with just a couple minor signs of age. There is some slight clear coat fade on the hood (see close-up photo of hood slats), in addition to some minor chipping on the lower front bumper and side mirrors. Body in in very nice shape; there are no significant dents or scratches, just a couple light door dings scattered about. Pinstripes are perfectly intact and look good. All glass and lights are clear and crack-free. Powered convertible top is in excellent shape, with no damage or stains. Wheels are decent, with no damage but some slight oxidation. Interior: The interior is undoubtedly the high point of this car. It’s easy to see where all that extra money for the Mark Cross package went. Leather seats and door panels are extremely soft and well presented, and the color of the leather is a brilliant light mahogany that looks like it belongs in a corporate executive’s office, rather than in an 80’s Chrysler. Brown leather contrasts very well with the faux wood panels inside the door panels and on the dash, which show no cracking or peeling. Dark brown carpeting is in excellent shape throughout, with no stains or tears. Seats show very little wear, with just one small scuff on the driver’s outer bolster. Powered systems are all functional: power windows, powered top, locks, AM/FM/Cassette, wipers, wiper sprayers, heat, defrost, air conditioning blows cold, cruise control, and all lights/signals inside and out. These cars have a digital dash display, which is entirely functional. Digital odometer reads 136,633 miles, and can be swapped to km with the push of a button. This car also has Chrysler’s voice communication system, which we get a kick out of. When you shut the car off and go to get out, it’ll say “don’t forget your keys”, then when you remove the key it’ll thank you. It will also let you know when fluid levels get low, or when a door is ajar. Under the Hood / Underbody: This LeBaron Medallion Coupe retains its original 2.2L Turbo Inline-4 and 3spd automatic transmission. Odometer reading of 136k is accurate. The car runs and drives very, very well. It starts right up first turn, idles cool and steady, and tracks nice and straight down the road. Brakes feel very good, with no hooking in either direction. The car pulls through the gears nice and smoothly, and turbo-lag is negligible. Suspension is extremely forgiving, which is great on these pothole-ridden Chicago streets. Underneath, the car is in really nice shape. There is absolutely no through rust. All structural components are rock solid. DOT number on the tires indicate they’re from 2007, and there is about 90% tread remaining. Overall, this ‘84 LeBaron Convertible is an interesting car with tons of oddball 80s charm. It has been well taken care of and is in excellent running and driving order. Wouldn’t hesitate to fly in and drive it home.
