Always in the market for a 'Doba LS, found this one: 1981 Chrysler cordoba · LS Mileage appears legitimate. Asked seller for more images. Dash top is sun-burned, headliner has completely failed. Cruise works, R12 AC works (may need more R12, cycles), but from what I can tell, solid car...

Most definitely on the rare side -- I personally have been searching for a true LeBaron LS Limited for a very long time. Can you post pictures of your find? I built a tribute car some time ago. I would love to have a real one! Here was my attempt to mimick on a limited budget: 1980 Chrysler...

Much respect for the Slant 6 for all the reasons -- however, if you intend to drive at modern speeds, please go for the V8. Yes, the Slanty can be hopped up, but Slant's have a long stroke. When you push them to a high enough RPM to keep up with modern Interstate speeds, it feels like you're...

I'm not in the market right now -- but when I was, I would have easily offered $800 for a set as nice as yours. I can tell you, any wheel shop worth anything can make these wheels gorgeous: 1981 Chrysler Cordoba LS

I don't know the answer - but the wheels you have are highly sought after! Yours look like they are in great condition, too!

I have had great success with custom covers. They start by giving you a chart to measure everything about your seat: Shape, headrest, top/middle/bottom -- and sew to match. The outsides are stretchy, so even if they aren't OEM, they can be made to look very close. Unfortunately, I don't have...

Like others have said, Starter or Neutral Safety Switch. If it happens randomly, I'd say the switch. Wiggle the shifter, try again. The starter will reveal itself as going going bad when hot. If it starts first thing, then nothing after the car is warm .. Starter. If funds are tight, just...

May I ask why you are putting premium in your car? If you are running stock compression, you may be dumping money down the drain. There is a lot of mis-information about what premium fuel is. It is literally harder to ignite and burn than lower octane fuels. All things being equal (on...

Experience speaking here... What 80LS says is a great option. I purchased the repops, gave them to my body guy, and he declined. Instead, he used fiberglass and body filler to fix what was left of my old ones. The final result was awesome -- and not really that much work. My body guy did it...

I'm a fan and defender of Chrysler's oft aligned Lean Burn system, I'm just curious: What's going on with your Lean Burn that makes you want to convert?

The best way to evaluate prices is looking at what prices people paid on recent sales. I'm very found of the "completed listings" check box on eBay as it tells you what people really paid. That kind falls apart when you search for "Caravelle", which is not a common listing. That being said...

Turns out one of the large studs on the knuckle was stripped. New stud, helicoil.... all good. I'm told my upper control arms should be next on my list. Thank you all for the advice.

Trusted mechanic got back to me. Found two things causing my new rattles. Tie-rod ends are end of life.... And yes, Pep Boys screwed up the Knuckle. They ordered a helicoil kit. I love/hate those things. I screwed up a few aluminum intakes in my youth - helicoil to the rescue! I'm in "we...

No, I think we are... This is the lowest price I could find: 52037680 - Genuine Mopar Knuckle That being said, I'm going back to a trusted, local mechanic to double check!

They are about $1,100 new -- and hard to find. I'm taking the truck to another local shop to get a 2nd opinion. I don't want to be buying parts willy-nilly. I'm confused as to whether I need the full knuckle assembly, or just the spindle, which is a lot cheaper.
