1980 Chrylser LeBaron Town & Country
He's asking 1,500
Here's the writeup:
A classic 1980 Chrysler LeBaron Town & Country station wagon. ~70,000 miles.
Rebuilt transmission.
Cranks, runs, drives.
Engine is original with no major work done.
It's 37 years old. It's not perfect. It uses a lot of gas. Burns a bit of oil. It's big, it's slow. Exterior is fair, interior is good. Battery goes dead if I don't drive it at least once every 10 days. A/C does NOT blow cold, heater works great. Front passenger and rear driver windows do not go down, just needs motors.
Not recommended as a daily driver, though I did use it as such for a little while and it was fine on a 60 mile round trip commute for several months with no issues. It's got antique plates so I didn't have to do an inspection here in TX, but it did pass inspection in a previous state a few years ago. Blinkers, reverse lights, horn, wipers, driver window and a general check were performed for that inspection.
Blue book I found on this car in this condition was $4,000+. It's rare, I've never been able to find another one for sale in the last 6 years that I've looked frequently out of curiosity.
Buy it for what I spent for the transmission rebuild 1.5 years ago, give it a tune-up and a once over, understand it's old and has quirks, and you will be happy with it. Do not contact me expecting a show car or something as reliable as a 2015 Honda. It is what it is, an easy car to work on with easily obtainable parts and it's just a fun rare car to own.
