1982 Mark Cross LeBaron Convertible.

I ordered this car at Framingham Chrysler Plymouth, Framingham, Mass on the last week of January 1982 as part of a test marketing Chrysler under took to see if there was any demand for rag tops, and took delivery of the car third week of May 1982. It has 71,000 miles, all original excepting some suspension parts.

This car rolled out of the factory as a two door coupe along with 2600 others destined for the guillotine. All were shipped over to Cars ‘n Concepts where the tops were chopped off, floor pans reinforced, windshield cut down two inches, and a power retracting top fitted.

Here are more pics by request. I have been collecting pieces needed to bring it to a good quality. I even bought a '69 coupe that has rust free quarters, fenders, and really good chrome bumpers as well as glass.

Thanks. It came with a custom made tonneau cover so I have it installed to hide the rear seat and I have slip covers on the buckets until I get them redone. I put the dash back together, reinstalled the grille, new exhaust from the manifolds to the tips, and new tires on factory steelies with the original wheel covers. It's a real pleasure to drive while I work on it. These old C-bodies just float down the road without any road vibration being felt.
 
That Polara would be awesome to cruise during the summer! Pull out a few floor pan body plugs, throw on a raincoat, and have fun.

X 2!! C bodies are hard to get aftermarket support. That Polara is a nice foundation for a COOL summer ride!! Good luck on the resto.

Thanks 4spd. Yes, it is hard to get aftermarket support for C bodies. I found that out the hard way. So I bought the Duster since the Polara has turned into an unexpected long term project.

Thank you to all who have posted kind words regarding the Polara. I hope to get it into a condition similar to ragtopfury's '69 Fury.
 
How is your grille? I have a very nice 69 Polara grille assembly and I'm not that far up the road from you........
 
I have to download some pics of my 67 Coronet R/T convertible, but in the meantime, here is one of my dad's 64 polara 500. 426 wedge, 727, m/s, m/b.
