A teal 1995 Chrysler LeBaron could be about the most nondescript convertible in the world. This one, however, is different because it was once owned by Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Now, at $2,995, it's probably the cheapest celebrity-owned car you can buy. More »

With an even hundred horses from its undaunted-by-Malaise 225 Slant Six, the 3,600-pound Town And Country provided a great example to road-tripping families eager to teach the kids about the proverb of the Tortoise And The Hare.

The Chrysler K-car is subject to both love and hate. Yes it helped save the Pentastar brand's hiney back in the day, serving as the basis for the mega-hit that was the minivan. Yes, there are still some sick-o's out there who get a kick out of raising the boost on the turbo models and surprising folks off the line. But seriously, they're just so flippin' ugly. Here's example #467: Not happy with the original wood-paneled loveliness of this LeBaron, the owner of this masterpiece decided a continental spare tire kit would be the cherry on top of a sundae of sick. Ugh. [eBay Listing via Cardomain] More »

Some might say that a '68 Ford Galaxie with big tires and 428 engine is the correct choice for driving the roads of Los Estados Unidos Mexicanos, but what if you're looking for some anachronistic romance? Just break out the wedding rings, pop the cassette into the 1992 LeBaron's deck (yes, a cassette deck ten years into the CD Era), and watch your rival angrily slash a bunch of candles with his sword.

When a collaboration between Millenia Fine Art and Terra Firma/Zotz Racing first came across our radar, we immediately thought: kitschadelic. After all, what business does an art gallery in, of all places, Orlando, have decorating Porsches for competition racing? Visions of some hand-painted travesty better suited to Burning Man danced in our fevered noggins. But then we dug a little deeper. And we turned up the Chairman of the Board. More »

We remember singing this same refrain after the shift linkage joining the Volkswagen engine to the Simca-based Dodge Omni we were driving went kerplow onto a snow covered Vermont road. Even with the linkage lost in snow, we managed to get the Omni into first gear. Thank you very much, we all crooned in unison while clomping along next to the Omni in our ski boots. More »

At this point in history, transforming a 1991 Chrysler LeBaron into anything roadworthy is a challenge. Turning one into a Mercedes SL roadster, however, is one shack in the woods short of madness. Was it Mark Twain who once said, "The truly mad are just like you and me, they're just better with tools and have way more free time"? Or was that George Barris. More »
