Vehicle Description
Evolve Motors and Chicago Car Club are pleased to present this '79
LeBaron Medallion Coupe! We're suckers for "survivor", "time
capsule" cars here at Evolve, and this LeBaron absolutely falls
into that category. With its original Sable Tan Sunfire Metallic
paint and well-preserved, unrestored interior, this LeBaron takes
us right back to 1979. This car has only covered 51,319 miles over
the course of its 38 year life and the condition of the car makes
even that low of an odometer reading seem high. Exterior: First
off, paint. Sable Tan Sunfire Metallic is a beautiful color. The
paint has a great metallic sparkle to it under direct light. The
paint shows very, very few signs of age. There are a few
scratches/chips that have been touched up, by far and wide the most
significant of those being at the bottom of the passenger rear
quarter panel - see the close up photo. There are no visible rock
chips, even at the lowest points of the front end and behind the
rear wheels. Tan pinstripes are without cracks or wear, and
contrast extremely well against the metallic brown paint. Chrome is
excellent throughout, and really completes the look of this 2-door
coupe. There is no oxidation on the chrome; it shines nice and
bright. Brown Landau top is in pristine condition, with absolutely
no scratches, scrapes, or damage. Panel fitment is dead-on and the
doors close without a fuss. The car truly is in impressive shape.
Interior: Light tan cloth interior looks great against the metallic
brown exterior. Inside, the car presents similarly well to the
exterior; nicely preserved with only very minor imperfections.
Interior wear is limited to some fading by the inner lower corner
of the windshield on the passenger side. Other than that one spot,
the interior of this Le Baron is absolutely mint. Bench seat is
very comfortable and is free of stains or tears. Carpets are stain
and tear free as well, as the car has had rubber floor mats in it.
Those will come with the car. Headliner is tight, backseat shows no
wear. All powered systems are functional - dash lights, cruise
control, heat, air conditioning, seat adjustments, radio, and
gauges. All lights are functional both inside and out. Odometer is
functional and currently reads 51,319 miles. Under the Hood /
Underbody: This LeBaron Medallion Coupe retains its original 225cid
3.7L Slant-6. Car runs and drives very, very well. Starts right up,
idles cool and steady, and tracks nice and straight down the road.
Brakes feel very good, with no hooking in either direction.
Underneath, the car is in really nice shape. There is absolutely no
rust of concern; there is nothing more than a little light surface
rust; all structural components are rock solid. This car was
undercoated from the factory, and that has kept the underside in
excellent shape. Four new tires were put on one year ago and have a
long life ahead of them. Overall, this �79 LeBaron Medallion Coupe
is an extremely well-preserved example that has clearly been
enthusiast-owned. It has always been garage kept and maintained
with originality as paramount. The car will come with a phenomenal
amount of documentation - we have the original buyers order, bill
of sale, build sheet, window sticker, owners manual, warranty
booklet, sales brochure, and title.
