Spotted at the same lot as the Aerostar. The K-car heritage is apparent.

$8k. Dang.
Yeah, familiar with k cars but not the name of this one. Interesting!
And now that I thought about it more, it's a Plymouth version of the Dodge 400.
Grandma's garage kept church on Sunday and groceries on Wednesday car.
Haven’t seen one in a long time.

Slip a 5.7 HEMI / 6 speed in it with a narrowed 8 3/4 rear end. Mmmmm..................sleeper.

Had a bunch of K,(Aries) L,(Omni, Horizon, Charger, Turismo, Scamp), E (New Yorker, 600, Caravelle) H(Lancer, Lebaron), and G(Daytona/Laser) body cars. (I am missing some and I had all this useless knowledge saved up in my brain. Now it has been released)
This is a Lebaron in the states. New Yorker was 4 door, Carvelle was a 4 door car here, but you could get a 4 door Lebaron too at some point. Could be had with a 2.6 Mitsubishi hemi, 2.2, 2.2 turbo or 2.5 common block. Most had the Holley carb, later they had TBI. I see no Turbo badge or Hemi badge so I am guessing run of the Mill 2.2/carb as the 2.5 came along, as I recall in 1986.
There was way too much going on at Ma Mopar in the 80s early 90s. This one here? Very clean.
I had a lot of fun messing with them. Larger turbos, better heads, boost bleeds, intercoolers. I look monthly for the right one.

I think the one here in this thread is an 85 no third brake light. Hard to tell.
Now I want one but has to be at least a turbo I
OP stop posting this stuff.
Reminds me of when I had an old lady come into the Lexus dealership when I was in sales. She had an 8-year-old Lexus es350 with 8k miles on it. Nobody had ever sat in the back seat. She no joke drove two miles to church, knitting class and to the grocery store every week. I sold it the following day to a college student needing a car.

Or rolling birth control?
I don't see it on their website so someone must have bought it!

I came across this 1988 Aries wagon in Phoenix last year, they wanted $7,800 and it sold immediately. Still had the factory Goodyear Invicta GLs!

I'm sure I wouldn't!
I think pretty much, though in my mind's eye they're usually oval.
My first thought from afar was "K-car gussied up and badged as a LeBaron".
If it had been, it would have been a far cry from the glorious whale-like Imperial LeBaron c. 1969.
