The baron

I've mentioned her before so why not post a thread? my new whip, an 87' T1 Lebaron auto

slowly transferring all my goodies from the daytona. this car is in retardedly good shape for her age

spent most of the day pulling this stuff...full topend off my daytona for the T2 conversion. decent street cam, light port head, ported exhaust mani, two piece intake, and a 2.5 swingvalve that can accept a 3in exhaust

gotta get the downpipe, 5 speed, and the rest of the gauges soon

Non-convertible would have been better. Does this have the A413 Torqueflte 3 speed auto? If so...sweet.

I wanted a turbovan. the only reasonable one in the area was sold out from under me. there was a black GTC VNT 5 speed coupe for sale at the same time but it was in terrible shape with tons of rust.

I think you mean a413, but yep that one. its getting a a555 5 speed with the close ratio getrag gears

Dude I love the 20" spinner (minus 5 inches and the spinning part) rims!

those are clearly SSR comps and have nothing to do with spinning and everything to do with being lighter than fuck :P

Homeslice is desperately trying to suppress his desire to post in this thread.

Back in the day they were good cars and the car to get if you wanted a convertible at a decent price.
That looks like its going to be fun little sleeper when you are done.

Its bizarre seeing one without paint issues on the hood and trunk. It seemed the little white clouds would show up 3 months after it left the dealer lot.

Digging the little Dodge shadow in the background

That shadow is a random base model with the es appearance package in her moms neighborhood.

The paint itself is original. The clearcoat did cloud but the previous owner sanded and refinished it

Don't know why I got away from 2.2/2.5s, I really love the character of this engine. Can't wait for this scholarship to kick in so I can get the 3in pipe

All of the ones I've seen have the top all effed up.

Nice. Is it for, your GF?

'Where's your Le Baron, Freddy? Where's your Le Baron? How many Le Barons? Are there two Le Barons?'

First thing that comes to mind for any Le Baron. That one looks very clean.
