I have tons of extras that will go with it. I've had the car since '95 but it's time to move on to other projects. The car looks and drives great. Dyno'd at 297 FWHP and 326 FWTQ. $4500, I will consider trades including snowmobiles or jet skis as well as cash offers but not going to give it away. I'll part it out if I have to but I would rather see it go to someone so they can have as much fun as I have. Jim in Enfield, CT 06082. (8 six O) nine 8 nine - 8 five 4 O. I have plenty of additional Pictures.

love the ground f/x and the wing.

Crazy, i was JUST looking for an example of a built up j-baron convertible a few hours ago and really wasnt coming up with any good examples. Seems all the j-bodies with serious work in them tend to be coupes.

That car is definitely unique, and that old bodywork has even aged very gracefully.. looks a damn lot better than factory 89 csx body kit to me. Very cool.

Good luck with the sale!

I also have a loft full of TD parts including a T2 568, a few turbos to name a few. Many things will be offered with the car or sold separately after it's gone.

Me too! I would like it to go to some one who appreciates it. I would keep it but need the money and the space right now as I lost the storage for my Nomad.

What boost did it make those dyno numbers at?

[Reaper1]

Wow! Nice 'Baron! Did you replace the headlight doors with H-body headlight buckets? If so, I thought about that a few years ago with my old 'Baron. Kinda neat to see it done!

[nomadman2001]

running it at 16 PSI. It has seen more but will run reliably every day at 16 :-)

Yes, exactly. Every once in a while the doors wouldn't close and I thought it looked pretty good that way so I decided to make it permanent. Lost a few pounds that way too!

does the car stay in New England??

[nomadman2001]

yup. Some kid from South Windsor bought it.

[reliantkcar]

I wonder where that car is these days. I bought it from that kid for real cheap since he broke the jackshaft and couldn't find one anywhere. I drove from Boston to CT late at night with a long pass axle swapped it out in his yard and drove it back and had to change the Head gasket and clutch shortly after. Stupidly sold it to some guy who showed up with a trailer from CT back in 2012-13. That thing was a one of a kind....

I bought it back in 2017 in Windsor, Ontario and brought it back to Sault Ste Marie.
