An odd way to use time and money: Chrysler LeBaron SL AMG

Replying to: dinorino (Nov 18, 2008 6:29 pm)  A genuine early 90s R129 in pristine condition is worth in the low teens...funny car to copy. Of course, it was probably done 15 years ago...but still. I like how the ad copy reads "AMC conversion"...that's more accurate. That thing wearing an AMG badge should be a criminal offense.

Replying to: fintail (Nov 18, 2008 6:42 pm) I agree about the AMG badge...who are they trying to fool? It's funny how the front fenders bulge, it look like an SL that gained extra weight from overeating.

Replying to: boomchek (Nov 18, 2008 7:57 pm) How did they do that? Is this a body kit you buy or something? From 100 yards away, it looks credible.

Replying to: andre1969 (Nov 17, 2008 8:24 am) Yeah, but I want to say that the grille mesh was vertical? |

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 19, 2008 8:10 am) I figure it takes a lot of work to adapt SL panels to a Lebaron of all things. This should have been a sequel to the TC by Maserati. It should be called "SL by Chrysler and Bob's Autobody"

during my lunch break today. On my way home, I saw a '77-78 Plymouth "small" Fury sedan. Generic metallic police-car blue, faded and a bit ratty looking, but still solid and not rusty looking. I've seen this one around before. On the way back to work, I saw circa 1969 Ford fastback. I'm guessing it was a Torino. Could you get just the Fairlane in a fastback? It was all black, and really sharp looking. It was also stalled out at a traffic light! But he did get it running. Oh, I also spotted a Pontiac G8, in that coppery color. I think this might be the first time I've actually seen one out on the street. |

the combination of nice weather and cheap gas seems to have energized the Street Rod community in the Phoenix area. I saw a nice '32 Roadster painted orange with a big supercharger scoop sticking out of the engine. Another was a black Deuce Coupe looking stock except for the jacked up rear end and missing side plates on the engine compartment, shiny black finish w red disc wheels. I also saw what was apparently a stock daily driver '63 Chevy Impala coupe w the faux-convertible H/T. The maroon paint badly needed to be compounded but there were no dents or rust. Chromed Torq-Thrust style "mags" completed the period look though they looked almost tiny (14"?) on such a big car. |
