ORIGINAL 1984 CHRYSLER CONVERTIBLE WITH WORKING TALK BACK SYSTEM
STORED IN MY WAREHOUSE , ONLY USED IN NICE WEATHER !Chrysler introduced its own electronic voice alert system. Including an EVA in the 1984 Chrysler Town & Country Convertible was partially to justify its high price tag, and consumers totally bought in. In addition to having voice alerts, the 1984 Chrysler Town & Country Convertible featured an electronic travel computer that displayed an approximation of how long one could drive without running out of gas, average driving speed, and average gas mileage.
Interior is clean. Convertible top has no leaks, with original boot, all wood body trim present and in good condition!
Exterior has no dents , Paint all original, clear coat is dull !
Engine had valve job at 75 k , all maintenance done timely
Tires like new, brakes are good ! no issues ..

I think that I would rather drive the Plymouth Fury ex cop car.
Don’t like convertibles?
If you haven’t watched the Petrolicious.com short video on the Chrysler LeBaron treat yourself to six minutes of pure excellence at the link below. Nice to see that some of the folks dedicated to overwrought fawning over classic cars also have a sense of humor too.

Chairman of the Board.
How did he pay for it?
With a plank check.

Seriously? No one mentioned George Costanza and Jon Voight? Tho I give Hugh props……..clevah!
I was thinking more Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.
My mom had an 84 LeBaron 4 door for a while when I was a kid. “Your door is ajar” would always make me giggle.
