1986 Chrysler LeBaron Convertible 2.5. Northridge, Ca.

Very nice convertible. Unfortunately, insurance company wants to total it after some dumbass California driver plowed into it. Only 88,000 original miles and engine runs smooth. I testdrove
it yesterday. Belongs to Edwin J. Brotemaarkle of Northridge, Ca. Contact him at brotmark@juno.com and 818-886-1297. Unfortunately, the crushed quarter panel may have tweaked the frame, but when
I looked underneath, all I could see was a slight warped edge of some sheetmetal. The two main frame posts appear straight. The problem is when you try to accelerate beyond 15, it starts to shimmy violently side to side. But, when you coast at 35, it runs straight. So, don't know whats that about. I am going to suggest to the seller a starting price of $3000 minus $2300 in bodywork if it comes to that for a sales price of $700. I would hate to see such a good running car get wasted becuase it was hit from the side. The top connects perfectly. Here are the pics:

It doesn't look too bad from the photos. I would take it to a front end / frame shop and have them check it out and see what it needs. Maybe it is something simple or inexpensive like a wheel bearing or damaged rear solid axle that can be replaced with junkyard parts.
