**Car is SOLD**
Up for sale is my 1985 Chrysler LeBaron. I purchased this car from the original owner’s estate a few years ago, got the car home, put and battery in, changed the fluids and got it started (ran rough) and then found out the fuel pump was leaking. I drove the car into my garage, parked it and changed the fuel pump out (and the oil again). After the fuel pump replacement I could not keep the car running without feeding fuel into the carb. We took the carb off rebuild it and that’s as far as it got. Car has sat in my garage since (which is why it’s a little dusty). I have since gotten married and we had a baby so I no longer have time for this car along with my family and other projects.
Car is in amazing shape aside from a few small cons: headliner is sagging, right rear window will not go up, and carb needs to be rebuilt.
2.6L Mitsubishi engine and auto trans with under 50k original miles. I am the second owner and the car has been garage kept except for the few months it sat at the auction house.
Please comment/message me with questions or to arrange a showing (I do not post contact info publicly but will provide in a direct message).
I’m asking $1500 for the car with a clean and clear PA antique title.
Car will need a rollback or trailer for transport as it is not currently running.

We all always check everything out..... This could be speedster material if nothing else. Is that a Packard coupe along side this Cadillac?

Yes, it is a Packard - also listed for sale and I posted it earlier on this forum with a link to the listing if you want to look at it.

I would guess he is selling on behalf of the owner.
From the cars I see listed by the company I would surmise you are correct, they are located all over the place.

I know nothing about these kind of cars, but is there really anything there worth close to the asking?
I don't believe so - some more knowledgeable than me may know better. But this is definitely a parts car and most of the parts look like they will need a lot of time and money to be usable. I think the $6k asking is rather out there.

If the seller is who I think it is, it’s one of the godfathers of the collector car hobby.
Phone number traces back to a Orrie S. Simko who appears to own/run Simko Motorcars LLC. out of CT.

I think it's rather cheeky of the seller to note that "additional parts that can be included at the buyers discretion."
So, he has extra parts for the car, but they will cost you more?
I was thinking the same thing. Especially since it's not like this is an easy resto.

With it selling so fast, it might be up for sale soon to a flipper near you (or near me, it's in my area, I've never seen it before), maybe at Spring Carlisle. Buyer can start by getting the car running, getting those power windows to work, buying a new set of tires and a installing a pair of the correct taillight lenses.
Quite possibly. Hoping it didn't end up in the hands of some derby guy...

This frame was on my property when I bought it. Does anyone know what it is
Looks similar to a maxwell but the rear sections doesn't quite look right. Do you happen to still have this frame? I'm looking for one for a project of mine and this looks like it may work.

Hello all,
I am still trying to track down a prewar car frame/chassis for my Bell Motor car project and therefore am hoping some of the members on here may be able to point my in the right direction. I'm am looking for information on any makes/models/years of cars that have frames which are similar in style/dimensions to the chassis in the photo. It does NOT need to be exact, just close enough. If you are aware of any vehicle like this, please let me know and if you or someone you know has a frame like this and would be willing to sell, please message me.
Thank you everyone in advance.
Frame Dimensions: (this is a Pullman Chassis) Rough dimensions are 139" from tip to tail and 29 3/4" wide with the c-channel rails being 3 3/4" tall x 1 1/2" wide and flat the entire length (like a truck). Please see examples below of what I mean by completely flat.
Frame WITH bump up for rear axle: (most common) not the style I am looking for.
Completely FLAT frame: the style I am looking for.

There are seven Grants listed in the Horseless Carriage roster,four are M,three no model listed. If you have access to a roster some phone calls might be productive.
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give that I shot once I can get a roster.

I stand corrected, I believe your information is accurate, sorry if I mislead anyone. I always thought they were D-bodies and I shouldn't assume whatever information I find on the internet is authentic and correct!
Hey, no worries! I had to double check myself as well - its how we all learn (and yeah, unfortunately not all info online is reliable, I double checked a few places first before responding🙂). I always chalk it up to, "well hey, now I know better for future reference".

For the record, 1957-1973 Imperials are D-bodies.
If I remember correctly the Imperials switched of from the D-body (body on frame) to the C-body (unit-body) in 67/68. So the 68's posted above should both be C-bodies. I did a quick search and that seems to be the consensus in the Mopar community as well: https://www.allpar.com/threads/imperial-y-body-or-c-body-or-d-body.237342/

Price is a bit high for a "slab sided" Imperial so a few of my friend's have stated. I think it's fair priced, but I do like my big C body Mopars!
I’ve always had a soft spot for the C-body Mopars as well - I think this one presents well and is a fine example, but I agree with your friends, price is a little on the optimistic side (but I don’t think it’s crazy). My guess would be this car realistically sells around $8-10k Especially since there’s also a nice convertible version that was posted for a little bit more and in a better color combo.

Looks like the nice one that was up for auction in Australia a few years ago didn't sell - although better looking than the rough one for sale above it's still not a particularly attractive vehicle. In this case, sounds like it is "rare" because no one wanted one to begin with. I honestly think the seller of the (brown?) one above will have a hard time giving it away to someone who wants to use it, instead of scrapping it, in it's current condition.

Thanks, that’s why I bought it originally - it really is in fantastic condition. Wouldn’t take much to get it there, but I have a couple other cars in line ahead of this one and would rather see someone get enjoyment out of it instead of it sitting. Plus I could really use the garage back. Willing to negotiate on price too for the right buyer.
