Unknown number of previous owners
It was purchased from Russ Darrow
Wauckesha Inc. by the Wisconsin Dept of Transportation 02/08/1985 I assume it was the 51st car
purchased from this dealer. I assume this because of some notes written on the warranty
papers. the car still has the arbitration papers, operating instructions, change
of owner/address card, certified speedometer calibration card and warranty book.
The spot light still works, I know it was used as a Wis. state trooper car because
you can still read it on the fenders, paid $250 at a auto dealer auction early 2001 when I was working at a used car
lot. The car had about 125K miles on it when I bought it I had the transmission rebuilt shortly. I plan to keep it
looking stock on the outside but the motor is going to have some mods.
Like = I love that it is different and that it's an ex
police car
Dislike = I hate that the police wheels are missing

Tan/Brown 2 Door Baseline, 43,000 mi.
Third Owner
Special Equipment - A/C delete (thanks for the tips
everyone :) Power steering, power brakes, manual windows, manual locks, bench seat,
Kenwood cassette player, Vacuum Gauge, Aftermarket Tach, Air horns, new tires, shocks, rebuilt
1977 a9O4 non-lockup tranny, 125 mph cop car speedometer, fog lights, red painted air cleaner cover, and black painted
rims.
I bought my car for $150 from a lady who bought
it from an elderly lady 2 years prior. the odometer registered just over 37,000 original miles. I drove around the
car for a couple months before I let it sit while I drove my other cars. I also ran Dippy around a friend's dirt track
a few times and got it nice and muddy. This was a mistake though, and I regret doing this to such a nice car, but
then I cleaned it up real nice, and put a lot of new parts and things on it. It looks like a million bucks after being
detailed inside and out. I also recently powerwashed and detailed the engine compartment. In the future I would like
to remove the little rust behind the rear wheels and then have the car repainted
possibly hemi orange. Anyway this is the story of my diplomat.
Like = Style, Interior (mint)
Dislike = Color

(353) "Bullah" 1979 Chrysler LeBaron
FH45K9G173678
Beige/Cashmere Wagon, 294,300 km.
Second Owner
Special Equipment - I have removed the wood grain trim,
painted the wheels body color and installed police hubcaps. The engine is now started with a Mopar Performance
electronic conversion kit when the lean burn computer pooped out 2 years ago. Oh I almost forgot, the car has the original
360 2bbl V8, with A999 automatic and lockup torque converter.
Last year the performance computer went on the
fritz while driving, the car quit twice and caught itself while driving, but the second time
it made the muffler about three times its original size. Needless to say it took the
next six months to diagnose the problem as everyone thought it was the ballast resistor, which did solve the
quitting problem, but eventually the car would not start anywhere you went. It would flood itself because the computer
wouldn't send the spark signal. One day it just finally wouldn't start. I had the former service manager/ owner of our local
Chrysler dealer working on the problem, he finally solved it. Touch wood the car has been fine since, but
my nerves about driving it still are not back to normal.
Like = The room, the style, the power
Dislike = Worried that it is going to let me down again
