Fairfield, Connecticut

Reluctantly selling my time capsule survivor 1986 Chrysler LeBaron GTS 2.2L Turbo EFI baby. I have used this car as an every day driver for the last 2 1/2 years. It is the most dependable, reliable car I have ever owned. She has a clear title and current State of Connecticut registration. Whatever she needs, she gets, no questions asked and only Mopar parts if available. She has been serviced only at my local Dodge dealer by a master mechanic who worked on all of these turbo cars when they were new in the 1980's. This car was originally owned by an elderly woman in New Jersey, who also only serviced the car at her local dealership. She traded it in because it needed a head gasket job, the dealer performed the work at around 80K and it was wholesaled out to a dealer in Pennsylvania who is a fellow Mopar enthusiast. This dealer brought the car to the 2013 Chryslers at Carlisle event where I purchased it from under the survivor car tent. The car is Golden Bronze Pearl with Saddle interior. It has never been in an accident and has always been garaged. The car is loaded and has power everything, including air conditioning, it is a literal time capsule that looks, runs and drives like new. I will drive this car anywhere and have taken it on trips for hundreds of miles. I would drive this car clear across the USA without any worry. Fly in and drive it home. The GTS was the top of the line LeBaron model for 1986 and this one has every available extra cost option, including 15" alloy wheels, pinstripe package and digital dashboard. The exhaust downpipe is still wrapped in the factory foil covering! After buying the car, I had it gone through top to bottom and since I have owned it, I have had the following replaced either due to wear or for preventative maintenance: hoses, belts, cap, wires, plugs, coil, tires, radiator, power steering pump, front & rear brakes, front rotors, front axles, bearings and seals, wiper motor, front struts, rear shocks, K&N air filter, rebuilt transmission, power steering pump, pressure hose, fuel filter and more that I can't think of right now. I have a folder full of thousands of dollars of receipts that goes to the new owner. The interior of the car is near new, the seats are perfect, no rips, tears and no wear! I have the original Chrysler window sticker from when the car was new. There is also zero paint fade, the original paint is in mint condition and shines bright thanks to being garaged it's whole life and regular waxings. The car also has a factory front license plate bracket so no worries registering in a state that requires both front and rear plates like mine. The original window and door rubber are soft and supple and there are zero water leaks, even in the heaviest of rains. This car is a once-in-a-lifetime find and is likely the best surviving example that will ever be found. Whenever someone rides in the backseat, they say it feels like they are sitting on a couch, it's so comfortable. Even the headliner does not sag. The body is in excellent condition and has never been in an accident. The car was rustproofed by Rust Miser when new. Incredibly, there are only two areas that should be fixed, on each side of the rear lower rocker panels where rust is starting to come through, one side had been repaired before. This is the only area of concern on the whole car and will be an easy fix. After 27 years, the paint is going to show the usual superficial parking lot scratches and dings. No matter how careful you are and how far away you park, someone will always park a foot away from you. Other than that, there are two small dings on the hatchback right near the rear wiper where it looks as if something dropped on the hatch. The 2.2L Turbo runs like a terror and is a blast to drive. I only use Mobil 1 and also a Zinc ZDDP oil additive. I put in a newer Chrysler CD Stereo with premium hi power sound speakers. The car just turned 99,000 miles. The car turns heads everywhere I go and it will be sad to see her go. I used to take a train to work and this car only drove a couple miles a day to the train station and back. I don't work there anymore, so would rather put miles on a car that's not collectible. This is the only reason why the car is now for sale. I will gladly answer any questions or send you more photos. Please call me with any questions (203) 257-1839, 9AM -8PM Eastern Time.
