Can't believe another 85 hardtop appeared alive in SoCal. For sale right now in Thousand Oaks, Ca. Will see it Saturday morning to take pics and try to save. Currently sitting California Lutheran
University. Has 220,000 original miles. Now, for the bad news. It blew a head or headgasket and may end up scrapped. Will try to save it anyway since it is nearby. Here is the link:

My dear old 1985 Chrysler LeBaron 2.2L Turbo 4 cyclinder of 220k miles has reached the end of what I can do for it. It blew either its head or headgasket over the weekend, and it is too expensive for me to consider fixing. So I'm selling it for parts, scrap, or to someone who has the time, energy, and resources to fix the head. I'm looking for around 500, but I'll consider other offers. It's currently street parked in Thousand Oaks, so I need to sell it quickly.
Damage List
Obviously the head or head gasket is damaged.
There is some minor age damage on the paint in various locations.
The rubber seal around the door frame has also gotten loose due to old age.
The trim around the left rear tire is bent a little when the car clipped a corner.
The picture didn't turn out well, but the windshield has a crack that goes all the way across. It doesn't impair vision, but it is a concern.
Wiper linkage bushing is broken.
The windows don't roll down well, there seems to be something loose in the door.
Some minor upholstery damage from cigarettes.
On the plus side:
The alternator was replaced a few years ago.
The top felt was replaced about 10 years ago.
The catalytic converter was replaced a few years ago along with the 02 sensor.
