Seller's Description
Selling for a friend. He purchased from the original owner at the Villages in Florida 6 years ago. It has a 318 motor, p.s., p.b. and air conditioning. A very nice car.

 

Wow! that's as nice as you're gonna find. Not sure how much demand for it though.

 

My dad had a 78 Lebaron Sedan, same color, same interior. The lean burn had tremendous issues in the Rocky Mountains on a family vacation. I remember my dad taking it to a service station in Colorado and asking them to take it all out. LOL

 

Looks like this Chrysler has the same green paint and interior materials as our 78 Plymouth Volare. In fact, to my eye, this Lebaron wagon looks like it is nothing more than a tarted up Plymouth. Would much rather have the red TR 3 parked next to it.

 

Yup. Every time I see a Mopar from this era I am pleasantly surprised by how neat they look. But when you consider how few have survived, there's definitely a reason for that.

Lean Burn though... ack...
