    '92 LeBaron GTC Turbo I 5-speed



    I'm selling the 1992 Chrysler LeBaron GTC Turbo 5-speed that I picked up a few years ago to restore. Been stored indoors ever since my purchase. It has virtually no rust, runs and drives well enough to use, but really deserves some mechanical love.



    There are numerous small dents which do not show-up on video, but do detract from its appearance. Shocks/Struts are worn-out, and the valve cover leaks oil. Radio antenna is MIA. I swapped in the white interior from a parts car, (at the same time I installed a new white top). The interior needs to be cleaned, but is in very good condition. I'm including a white top boot, and a dark metallic gray boot if you want it. (I was considering a similar color for the restoration.)



    The aluminum rims/tires are in excellent shape. The catalyst was removed by a prior owner. Otherwise, the car is all-stock and already pretty quick (turbo pulls hard and burns rubber nicely on the second-gear upshift). On the downside the ABS light is on, but on the upside, the brakes work fine.



    Price is $2500, which I feel is quite fair for such a unique and easy resto-project. Mostly selling to make room, but seeing it go to a good home is most important to me... This isn't the car to buy for your 16-year-old daughter.

    Does it have an intercooler?

    A568, A569, Whatever it takes... (Bonus if you get that reference)

    Seriously I'm not a manual trans expert. I assume it has whatever a '92 LeBaron should have, nothing looks "messed with". If you tell me what to look for (casting, etc.) I can have a look.

    Just got a PM on the car, so that will have to be addressed with any potential buyer.

    I cannot think of any reason it wouldn't... Doesn't overheat, good oil pressure, like-new tires, etc. , but in all honesty I've only driven it perhaps 40 miles at one time. It was driven daily to work for a couple months, about 20 miles round trip, short distance on the expressway.

    Struts & shocks are very worn-out.

    I went and checked out the car, was about 1hr 45min away one way, nice ride, even the tires are pretty decent shape. Car is described correctly, so dont worry about showing up and finding a myriad of other problems that were conveniently left out. It started without clattering even, although it did have a flat spot at closed throttle when you first gave it gas, maybe tps, an easy fix none the less. I offered, he declined, thats how goes.... ...and actually my truck is slated as the next vehicle for TLC as its been the best truck Ive ever owned...Cummins 2500 BTW, so I think he did me a favor. I had the money, but today I actually had more self control. In any case maybe Ill be the last man standing, with the stated offer...

    Thank you for the review~

    I think so many of us are in the same position of having too many "projects".
