Default Edited: Found my Roadster - Illinois Area

Living in the Chicagoland area. Love convertibles! Had a LeBaron convertible in my past and am ready for a Crossfire. Dad was a lifelong Chrysler employee in Detroit and actually built a kit car when I was young. Please send me info on Roadsters with manual transmissions that are for sale. Yes, and no automatic for me - I want a manual transmission!

Welcome to the family CarolAnn!

Any friend of Gary's is automatically under strict scrutiny! LOL Just kidding! Gary's a great guy, any friend of his is a friend of mine!


I haven't looked for any Crossfires that aren't SRT's, but I can tell you from first hand experience that you will LOVE the 6-speed Roadster!

Greetings CarolAnn, welcome to the forum. I'm sure you'll find just the right car, just take your time, do your homework, and lean on Gary for support. EBAY is a good place to start. Good Luck.
By the way, I loved you in the movie Poltergeist.

Tell me about it, but it's faster and it rocks.....

I think beanerneon's in Rockford is sweet, and it's a stick with low miles and warranty.

Oh MY.

Could you be my long lost sister?

Do you want to be?

Or are you from a parallel universe?


Roadster with a stick
The way it should be


BTW what model and year Lebaron?
Mine was a Mark Cross hand built '82 Red of course with a white top. Incredibly underpowered but gave me 200M miles of fun.

She must be, at the very least, a kindred spirit.

Thanks for the PM there Gary.

Welcome CarolAnn. Watch out for that FP guy. Don't look into his eyes. He will convince you to by a black one.

Go SSB or Inferno Red.
