Wasn't there a Dodge/ Maserati combo with some of those K cars? I could swear that I had one of those in my shop for something a while back.

Maserati TC. basically a rebodied lebaron. top trim level cars are highly sought after due to a maserati engineered DOHC head attached to the chrysler 2.2 turbo block and one of the strongest manual trans from the iacocca era

Thanks for executing that perfectly, and proving my point.

See, I myself would have gone for the Volvo.
They take hop-ups nicely.

Still, for an '87, that's a pretty decent example.
The only LeBarons I see around here look twice their age and are probably held together with baling wire and duct tape.

Well, if it runs strong and doesn't look like ass, why the hell not?

My best friend and I went joyriding in a turbo lebaron in high school. Belonged to a friend of his dad, and I remember it being pretty damn fun.
