A baby Mopar!!
Looks nice and clean and tidy. That little dent near the filler cap should pull out fine. How was the drive home?

Thank you. Drive home was faultless - few rattles to sort out but it’s a convertible so to be expected

A bit of a departure from original requirements. But... Clare originally wanted a 4th or 3rd gen convertible f-body. T-tops were an acceptable alternative.
Ideally a V8 and ideally a manual transmission.
But, when it became apparent that the budget meant a lot of compromises it was a question of what compromises to accept.
The gearbox and engine were chosen as areas where compromises could be made. Once that was decided the convertible became more important but the most important thing was decent bodywork.
The Sebring represents a lot of car for the money, with only 53K on the clock and a fair amount of history. The underside is also as clean.
The 2.7l V6 has a good pull as you would expect from 200hp, and everything works.
It’s not the car I would like her to have bought, but it is a baby Mopar!!

Huh! No surprise really given his eBay profile. That was either a scam or someone with no manners! A quick "Thanks for your enquiry and sorry, the car is sold" wouldn't have hurt them!
How is the Chrysler running? nice to go to and from work in it?

She’s running good. Not driving it to work as have no where to park (I’m on one of the main road in the town). Also by the time I’ve driven to work (in the rush hour traffic), parked in a pay and display car park and walked to the office I could have cycled in, got changed and made a cup of tea lol. And cycling means I’m getting my exercises in

We have a small list of tasks to do on it. Just putting a few miles on it so we know everything it needs. The list is short and inexpensive so good news! :thumbup:

Washed the Challenger!! Pretty sure that’s the first wash since 23rd June. What the hell happened to 2018?
Checked the oil, lol, I do that everytime before I go out. Off to Goodwood for breakfast. Not washed it in ages as when I wash it more clear coat comes off. Its likely to be all repainted this year.
