Vehicle Description
1984 Chrysler LeBaron Mark Cross Town & Country
When the talkie move replaced the silent movie it was all the rage.
No more reading and listening to that pesky organist in the
theater, you could actually watch the dialogue! Imagine if you will
the future in 1984, which certainly fascinated George Orwell, and
that future is today with this talking Mark Cross T&C
Convertible LeBaron.
Yes folks it really will talk to you, and offers up all the options
to be had back in 1984 including the Mark Cross Package. Power at
your fingertips and your feet, a convertible and a meticulously
maintained vehicle, well documented miles, original owners manual
and service records going back to 2012. A mere 43,144 title
verified actual miles, wood sides and I'm in K car heaven. "Shall
we play a game?"
Exterior
All bathed in pristine white paint, the sides have gone retro in
their faux woody look and panels. This K car has the square and
rectangle design, neoprene bumpers, square headlights and central
chromed grille for that classy 1984 look. A white convertible top
is power actuated and as we visually move rearward we see some
chrome strips for luggage support on the trunk lid and a
continental spare enclosed tire on the mid bumper. All surfaces are
very clean, rust free, and straight as arrows with well minded
gaps. On each corner is a classy wire wheel covering 14-inch wheels
wrapped in 205/70R14 rubber all from 2011 and in thin whitewall
form. Gotta love that central rear chrome bump out for the
continental spare on the bottom!
Interior
With the top down I swing the doors for my entry into the future,
(cue the smoke and vacuum decompression sound effect!). I slip by
tight brown and tan leather door panels and some peppering of faux
wood graining. There is a smooth door armrest panel which houses
lots of toggles for the power conveniences. Inside, beautiful tan
top tuck and roll inserted buckets have brown bolsters and are in
high back bucket format. These are in pristine condition and have a
two tone central armrest. The driver's seat is power actuated with
plenty of options for exact positioning. A rear bench is equally
impressive. In front of the passengers we see a square and
rectangle design digital dash with blue LCD readouts. Yes this was
the future in 1984. This dash utilizes a fine mix of wood applique,
stitched leather and some brushed stainless controls and edges for
the digital instrumentation. A padded leather steering wheel
reaches for me, while I turn the key I hear some announcements as
to the status of my seatbelt, door ajar, and key in the ignition.
Thanks for the advice Chrysler man with the cigarette radio voice!
In the center of the hump is a shifter within the front of the
console and it is surrounded by brown, non faded carpeting nice and
clean. All high tech and working flawlessly.
Drivetrain
Under the hood in a clean well maintained engine bay sits a
Mitsubishi 2.6 liter 4 popper which is fed by a single 2 barrel
carburetor. There is a 3 speed automatic Torqueflite tranny on the
back which pushes power to the 3.02 front axle.
Undercarriage
All rust free and looking much like factory with slight patina
undercoating, no rust, and solid structural unibody construction.
Suspension is front independent Macpherson struts and in back
I-beam with coil springs are on. Power disc brakes are upfront, and
power drums for the back. The single piped stock exhaust is in
excellent condition.
Drive-Ability
I turned the keys and the dash lit up like a Christmas tree and the
car talked to me. Giving me alerts as to fuel status and including
other commands in a list a mile long that it can talk out. The car
started right up and ran like a champ. Braking is solid, all is
functioning as it should, save for the AC which blows warm. I also
noticed oddly the heater blower goes from vent to floor when I push
the accelerator? The top up and down is flawless.
(In my cigarette radio Rod Serling Voice), "I say YOU Should Buy
This Interesting Classic". A blast from the techno past
interestingly from 1984 which is the nirvana for the Sci Fi fan.
Digital instrumentation and it talks! Although so does my wife, and
she gives commands as well so heads up you could be driving your
wife!? Dah Dum Dum...symbol strike!
