1989 Chrysler LeBaron Convertible review from North America
"Cheap Fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing Belt at 105,000 (original belt), but this is clearance engine, so no engine damage like most Japanese cars.
Top is coming apart, tranny is slipping out of 3rd. From reading good info, this is due to Dextron fluid or clogged filter, or solenoid. Clutch is unlikely cause.
A/C looses Freon. No problem, put the top down.
General comments?
Too much CHEAP fun.
