I knew i wanted a fun convertible for the summer. never considered this car until i went to see it and it is great. and sure enough its a 6g72 v6 engine so im already liking the fact that im familiar with the engine. i picked it up for 1200 dollars !

70k miles, auto, full power top, power everything else, immaculate interior. just needs valve cover gaskets, has low oil pressure but then again its the same engine as the 3s so im not surprised the stock gauge is reading incorrectly. never get any warning lights, no loss in performance, no stalling or hesitation. gonna look it over the next couple days to make sure nothing else is wrong and then start enjoying it more for the summer!

Ha that's cool, you going to put some nice wheels on it?

Sorry, had to be done.

Anyway, for $1,200 you can't go wrong for some top down cruising.

nice find! I had a red '91 lebaron convertible with a black roof years ago with a 5 speed, it was a blast even in the winter! sadly, it's not a family car and I had to sell it.

the trunk is tiny and the car I had didn't have air conditioning. people will say, you have a convertible, you don't need air conditioning! well, try it when its 100 degrees outside lol

im happy with it. gonna get it looked over tomorrow at the shop (im actually helping a friend move a mattress with my truck tomorrow so ill make a quick 40 bucks for about an hours work) so thatll cover the shop fee.

just to make it sweeter, it has AC, original owners manual, clean carfax, no leaky top (i dumped a huge bucket of water on it and no problems there).

if you cant tell one of the POs night shaded the rear lights, front grill, side mirrors, rims, and turn signals. im not going to go crazy on it. the wheels are stock alloys and in great condition. just noticed that the driver door speaker is blown so ill go get a cheap one at best buy at some point.

great job on the movie reference! i now feel like i should get a #1 son on the front plate now. the one thing about NC DMV despite over priced gas and property taxes on cars is we dont need 2 license plates.

in my lebaron convertible, the metal hinges under the top started wearing a hole through the top. there are straps under the top, on top of the roof hing that protect the top but these wear through. raise your top about half way and check the hinges and straps under the top to ensure they are not starting to wear through the top material. replace the straps as necessary, you don't want to have to unnecessarily replace a top.
I also left my doors unlocked to avoid idiots cutting the roof to get in. Eventually I bought a Viper alarm with the radar field, that way you can leave the top down while parked and anyone just reaching over the window will set off the alarm.

only problem that the shop found was the oil pressure sending unit. everything else is good. ill give the top a look this weekend since its about to rain the next couple days and wont be able to check till the weekend.

speaking of break ins, reminds me of my 87 325i convertible i used to have. only time i ever had any of my cars broken into and they ripped out the rear plastic window but nothing was left in the car. it was parked right next to the police station too....labor was more to repair it than to just replace the top because it still had to be removed anyway. i ended up selling it to let some other guy mess with it lol.
