I saw a lebaron convertible the other day. It's turbocharged but had no badges. It did have a body kit that I have not seen anywhere in any publications. I don't know what year but could find out. The body kit may or may not be factory installed but it looked like it belonged there. It was not intercooled. The repair shop guy said the owner would sell it. He mentioned 7 grand. A little out of my price range but it was in excellent condition. Is this an unusual car or just a lebaron with a body kit added, I don't know.

could be a lebaron gtc, or just a t1 lebaron, a vnt lebaron would be intercooled and in think the tc maserati is intercooled.sounds like it for that price

I've seen a couple around with the A&A, it seems to be pretty popular.

As far as i know there were no stock body kits both the A&A and RAZZI are aftermarket kits. The RAZZI is still available but the A&A they don't make anymore i have been trying to find an A&A for quite some time.

I see a red lebaron that's owned by a pick'n'pull employee with a body kit very similiar to the A&A. I see it all the time, but it looks like it's seen better days.

Don't forget that body kit to make a Lebaron vert look like a Mercedes. Saw one at Carlisle. From a couple hundred feet away, I had no idea it wasn't a Mercedes. From 50 feet away, the only way i could tell was because i saw the Chrysler airbag.

Whoa! That's cool. I'd do one, but ditch the merc badge for an AMG one. And, I'd swap a 2.4 turbo in it.

Looks like they're not around anymore, most of the links don't work...

Well, in Germany they still do replica kits based on a lebaron http://dc-dreamcars.de/index_modelle_d.htm but call me sick, I'd prefer my LeBaron anytime!!!! :bump2: (PS: The only thing I'd be interested in from those guys is the hard top they are offering. Over here from time to time you'll find one in ebay but they sell regardless of their condition always for more or less 1200$)

On that precise question posted here, as far as I know, LeBaron Body-Kits where never installed by the Factory. I have a Turbo II LeBaron GTC which has a slightly different Styling but basically the same body Shape. That Kit mentioned above was available here as well in the aftermarket.
