Anticipation for spring
For the optimists among us, it’s almost spring already, so the hunt for a convertible can be opened. We are happy to help you by highlighting this Chrysler LeBaron Convertible from just after the facelift from our used car range. It is apparently still quite fresh, has air conditioning and has a very friendly asking price.
Loyal readers know that a Chrysler LeBaron passed by in this column before. Where it was then a pre-facelift copy with a fixed roof, today we are talking about a convertible from just after the facelift. The XV-VJ-38 dates from February 1993, the same year as the refresher round. In doing so, the LeBaron lost its pop-up headlights and typical eighties American dashboard, but this copy has a bright red paint, (admittedly non-original) three-spoke wheels and a fat V6.
Although; the 3-liter-with-injection stamps out only 136 hp, with which the Chrysler is well served. If you consider that fact as a setback, the LeBaron has several in store for you. The dashboard is … taste sensitive. The 1980s example of the pre-facelift LeBaron just mentioned was not the epitome of elegance, but the plastic we find in this Chrysler is very uninspiring. So today we are looking for an enthusiast with an acquired taste.
If that works, then one of you can enjoy a comfortable convertible with some contemporary pleasures. If it gets very hot in the summer, you will find air conditioning in the LeBaron. Longer journeys are made more comfortable by the cruise control. And that for less than €2,000!
Four Dutch owners
With a bit of luck, those things all work, because the Chrysler seems to look pretty neat. The paint is still red and the convertible roof looks neat. The advertiser itself does not devote any words to the operation of all functionalities, but does indicate that it will provide the car with a fresh MOT when it is sold. If he wants to do that for you after February 28 (the 30th anniversary of the Chrysler), then that is also one that is valid for two years. The amount of kilometers traveled by the six-cylinder, which has never been heavily loaded, is not too bad and the occasion only had four Dutch owners.
What the American history is like, is not clear from the ad. The Chrysler was imported from the United States to the Netherlands in 1999 and was allowed to stay here with its four owners for several years. The latter kept it ‘only’ for two years, so it’s up to you to surpass that. Anyone?
