WELCOME!!!

MoparBCN's 1989 Chrysler LeBaron

Update: 10/24/2007

I meanwhile have given up on this project.

First of all, I did become problems licensing the car is Spain which I don't want to get into details - only so much - A major PITA!

BUT: All is not lost. In bad times often comes a light from somewhere. So meanwhile I am proud owner of a spanish license plates equipped 1989 DODGE DAYTONA SHELBY 2.2 TURBO 2 !!!

So watch this space!!!!

I leave this page up, because I took some pride in building the car.

This is my 1989 Chrysler Lebaron 2.2 Turbo II GTC. I bought it in February 2007 in Germany and brought it to Spain where since then a handfull friends and myself are working on getting it back in shape.

It is an ambitious project for many reasons. First of all, the car is not even 1 year in my position but already suffered an accident which made me think if it would be worthwhile to carry on with it. But I like it, so here it is, repainted, repaired, and started to be prepared to be not only a beauty but also a fast car!

MoparBCN's 1989 Chrysler LeBaron Besides that it is a pretty well performing car and besides my plans to tickle more out of it, I as well want it to be what it already is, a comfortable summer car usuable as a daily driver. It is easy to maintain and a real pleasure to drive. After all its gas milage is superb. MoparBCN's 1989 Chrysler LeBaron

Looking at the back of my car you might say, "hang on, this is not a GTC". Well it is a GTC. Due to an Accident I was forced to repaint the car and I decided to put the crome lettering. The same applies to the crome blends in the wheel case. There were put in as I like them.

Anyone a bit aquainted with the Shelby Dodge History knows, that the 2.2 Turbo II Configuration has a lot of potential. In fact, right out of the box it already is a impressive performing car.

On the following pages I will show the steps taken so far to get the car where it is, and also outline what is planned in the future. I expect to keep this page alive, so come back if you are interested in seeing my progress or as well my setbacks which equally I do expect to arise!
