Description: 1987 LeBaron Coupe modified to 1989 T1 electronics with 2.5 engine. My health and finances dictate that it is time for me to exit the Mopar Turbo car hobby. The car does need some work, but with the car will be included all extra Mopar turbo car parts i have accumulated over the past 18+ years.

Engine rebuild 15K miles ago, Has forged Wiseco pistons from TU, 16 inch Lace GTC wheels with Riken Raptor tires, all machine work done at same shop as used by TU. Has 4 wheel disc brakes, 11 inch vented rotors from 89 Daytona Shelby. 5 speed A-555. 89 T1 radiator and intercooler. Complete electronic dash with digital climate control and has Infinity sound system with a indash 6 disc CD/MP3 disc player. Cloth enthusiast seats and rear seats fold down for long cargo. The car was purpose built as a true Grand tourer and when all is in tip top shape, is capable of cruising all day at 100+ mph and gets 30+mpg to boot!!!!

The car does needs work, but i can not afford to have it done nor am able to do myself.
Needs;
AC work-was in process of doing proper R134 conversion with newer compressor-all parts included in sale.
Needs rear main seal replaced.
Recent turbo oil seal leak (in process of diagnosing)
Needs headliner
Needs paint

As mentioned, large accumulation of parts;
Spare 2.5 turbo shortblock
6-8 2.5 T1 SMECS, one of which is MP T1 in addition to the one car is running
3 T1 radiators and extra intercooler and several cooling fans
A bunch of extra dash electronics (Cluster, trip computer etc)
Plus much more....

Nice car, GLWS! Question, what rear wing is that?

[vcrpro3]

It's off of a Shadow, had it narrowed to fit on trunklid.

[Force Fed Mopar]

Got any better pics of it? It's actually looking pretty neat to me :)

[vcrpro3]

I'll take a pic of it tomorrow, meanwhile-here is an interesting picture;36195......Middle car in last row...Las Vegas Speedway, Shelby plant grand opening

[vcrpro3]

Confirmed, turbo oil seal is kaput....will take into consideration if any offers on car............:(

[vcrpro3]

Price drop to $2000.00obo or possible trade for Chrysler product minivan .....

[J&H Ryan]

Looks like something I'd want if it were on this side of the country. On the other hand, if it were over here it would be rusty...

[BlueBaron]

...must...resist...

[vcrpro3]

Down to $1800.00 obo or trade...........

[shmedley]

What did you have to do to get that radio to work in there? (CANBus wise)

[vcrpro3]

I just used this; http://oem-auto-accessory.com/harness_new_style_radio_to_old_style_vehicle.html
Had to do some trimming in the radio recess

Would take it off your hands, if I had the money. Could use a second car.

[vcrpro3]

Final price drop....$1600.00 or trade for equal value minivan..................

[Johnny]

Is that hood grill from a early daytona? Looks good on it.

[vcrpro3]

TTT...really needing to sell. Offers? Rather it and parts go to someone that is a fan of TM's.

[slasky]

If only you were closer :(

[skitzo_inc]

I've seen this car in person and it's really clean, I was impressed with the modifications that were done to it.
Free bump!

[BlueBaron]

If only you were closer :(

I had a car shipped, Oregon to NewYork... $900

[vcrpro3]

Darn, if only you folks that might be interested in the car lived closer;). @ Paul- thanks for the bump buddy:bump2:, however the car is'nt as clean as when you saw it....had to rip out most of the headliner 'cause it was falling down on me:confused:

[vcrpro3]

[vcrpro3]

[vcrpro3]

If no offers in next couple of weeks, donating to a charity.........

What is your tax writeoff going to be? Do you have new pics (the pics you have look like they're from 1992 and super small)? If I could get this to SE Mich for $2000 total, I'd buy it.

[BlueBaron]

http://transporttime.com/

That's who brought mine to NY for me.

[J&H Ryan]

For me, the shipping is not an issue so long as he factors that into my offer. I just don't know what my offer is on quite yet as there are no new, high res pics of the car available. The car would live a charmed life with me, hopefully that would factor into the sellers decision. With the turbo seal and rear main shot that's the best I can do though. Would also have to make sure the transporter is ok with an engine block on the side and hopefully the other parts fit in the car.

[vcrpro3]

I'll take some pictures tomorrow, and send them to your regular email address if you provide it-pm me. The wheels are different though from the picture posted, went from the 'pizza' wheels to actual 16" 1989 LeBaron GTC rims with Low (<10K) mileage Riken Raptor tires http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/tires/riken/home.do, http://www.summitracing.com/parts/RIK-96406/?rtype=10 i know it is meaningless on the overall price, but there is almost $400.00 of tire on the car.

[Xtrempickup]

so is the turbo smoking? leaking? non-functioning? how does the car run otherwise?

[vcrpro3]

The car runs very strong and the turbo is functiong just fine. The smoking starts after the car has run for a while and occurs when sitting at a light or at idle for a short while and taking off from a stop. Cannot see smoke while driving at a steady pace-though maybe some when accelerating.Two people i i believe who know the car and the way it runs are Chris W. and A.J. (was just out at Chris W.'s place with it)

[J&H Ryan]

If you sent pics, I didn't get them.

[vcrpro3]

?????Took the car on a trip to Tucson and back for business, no smoking at all??????

[LWB]

pics to

cj6cj8 AT gmail D0T c0m

Thanks.

[vcrpro3]

TTT
If doing a 'TTT' is against policy, i will graciously accept sanction.....

[vcrpro3]

Last try; I would have to pay someone to help me pull and move the parts from my backyard storage and various and sundry locations in the garage.....So... First $1350.00 cash, i'll show where every thing is, you load stuff and take car..........

Added to items included; Found a Jacobs ignition system i had forgot that i had........

[Dodge Aries K]

Jeez... would if I could man. That's a pretty cool car, the right color, and the right options. Voice alert, 5 speed, turbo already swapped from crap log... can't go wrong!

PM sent.
Thank you.

[vcrpro3]

$1250.00.....come and get it....

[tryingbe]

I can't believe nobody wants a rust free AZ car.

[LWB]

Oh, I want it. Just trying to work the logistics.

[BlueBaron]

That car shipping company I mentioned earlier would do 400miles for $350

[LWB]

If it were 400 miles away, it would already be in my driveway.

I need 1800 miles. ):

[tryingbe]

Fly here, drive back. You can do it in two days... depends on weather.

[LWB]

Yup. That would be the plan.

Just trying to work out the logistics.

[vcrpro3]

What about all the extras that are included? There is an engine block, head and more than enough other items to fill up any available space in the car.......

[LWB]

More logistics.


Any available space besides the driver.:thumb:

[BlueBaron]

My LeBaron went 1500miles from Oregon to Ontario, $900 shipped.

And that's the reason I haven't bought this LeBaron. ;)

[vcrpro3]

To those who had considered it, the LeBaron has been sold. Thank you all for your interest.
