Odometer reads 177,713 but actual mileage is approximately 90,500. Gauge cluster was professionally replaced in 2011 at 85k miles with a New Yorker Cluster due to original units no longer being available and the mileage eproms being discontinued. CarFax and receipt from the cluster change comes with the vehicle. 


BODY OVERVIEW:
This 1986 Chrysler Le Baron Town & Country Convertible blends vintage charm with unmistakable '80s nostalgia. The iconic white exterior is accented by classic faux woodgrain paneling, faded in a few spots but still retaining that unmistakable Town & Country vibe that made these cars stand out. Panel alignment is good, and the trim is all present and in good condition--even that beautiful hood ornament! Overall, the body presents well and shows nicely. 


PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
Finished in crisp white, this Le Baron still turns heads with its unique styling. While there are some minor blemishes and age-related imperfections, the paint retains a nice shine, and the contrast with the woodgrain trim is as eye-catching today as it was in 1986. The exterior isn't show-car perfect—but this is an unrestored, 40-year-old car. What a survivor!

INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
Inside, this Mark Cross edition greets you with supple tan leather seating and two-tone door panels that were the height of luxury in the mid-’80s. This Le Baron may not have belonged to Jon Voight, but it very well could be the car Kitty (or Karen) traded her MG for! The seats show expected minor wear but boy, are they comfortable, and the woodgrain dash trim adds a touch of class--this is a luxury car after all. The overall feel is vintage Chrysler opulence—exactly what you’d expect from a premium trim level of this time period. Don’t let the mileage on the odometer fool you. In 2011, the car’s original dash stopped working and the owner at the time had Advanced Auto Electornics of Midlothian, VA replace the cluster. Due to the parts no longer being available they were forced to replace it with a working New Yorker cluster that was showing at the time 172,584 miles. We have the receipt from the work and the CarFax backs up this jump in mileage. Its true mileage is approximately 90,500. But anyone looking closely would realize there’s no way this interior has seen 177k miles, it’s just too clean! 


MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:
Under the hood is Chrysler’s 2.2L turbocharged inline-four—a buzzy little powerplant from the era of boost-happy '80s engineering. The automatic transmission shifts confidently, and the car drives just like a Le Baron should: relaxed, stylish, and surprisingly smooth. Although this Le Baron is certainly no race car, once that turbo kicks in it becomes a whole different animal! This thing runs great, and is a solid cruiser that’s ready to hit the road with the top down and the breeze in your hair.
