The 1980s Chrysler LeBaron was based on the company’s new K-Car platform. And the lineup included a convertible, the first U.S. production drop-top since the Cadillac Eldorado in 1976. A special “woodie” version called the Town & Country was offered, with simulated woodgrain appliques on the sides like some of the Detroit station wagons of the day. This 1984 example is considered a project needing mechanical and cosmetic attention. You can find it in Tacoma, Washington, where it’s offered here on Facebook Marketplace at the cheap wheels price of $1,900.

By moving the LeBaron nameplate to the K-Car platform, it became a mid-size “executive car” with front-wheel drive and a transversely mounted engine (inline-4). We don’t know which is in the seller’s car, but it’s no smaller than 2.2 liters in displacement. The Town & Country convertible arrived in 1983 and was in the mix through 1986 when only 3,721 copies were built, and just 1,105 in 1984 when this LeBaron was assembled. The car was a throwback to the Town & Country “woodies” of the 1940s.

Details are few about this Chrysler. It’s said to be a one-owner vehicle with 95,000 miles and they look to have been well-used. The listing was placed about two months ago, so we assume no takers have come forward or it’s been sold and the seller neglected to take down the ad. It has an automatic transmission, and we’re told the engine and tranny are in working order. The assumption is with a new carburetor you could take this canvas top out on the road.

We don’t see any signs of rust, though the paint is faded, and the convertible top may be okay. However, the seller isn’t high on the interior and tells us it will need work. The seller must need the car to be gone, so he/she is willing to entertain offers and work a “deal.” There can’t be many of these rides left (remember the one in the 1987 movie Planes, Trains, and Automobiles and it was pretty well used up by the end of the Steve Martin/John Candy flick. Maybe you could paint it green and turn it into a tribute?
