I saw this car a year or so ago at the place where the interior was being 
worked on.  I spent more time underneath it than inside it at the time 
because the seats were out and the headliner was missing.  At the time I was 
looking for a transmission rubber block, the one that goes between the rear 
of the transmission and the chassis.  It was at this time I discovered that 
the items were not the same on the four door hard top and the sedan due to 
the large "X" added to the hardtop's chassis, but that's a whole different 
story.

The seller seems to be a good person - I don't know him - and I can confirm 
his story.  The car was to be restored.  The wife of the owner at that time 
was none too keen on the car and had told her husband either fix it up or 
junk it.  He was putting some money in the car but the project was already 
languishing.  An unhappy wife and rising expenditures on a neglected car is 
not a happy combination.

As a LeBaron sedan, the car is somewhat underpriced, in my opinion, based on 
what I saw then.  There is indeed little or no rust on the car.  I hope it 
is "saved," and not bought by someone who just want it for parts.  It's in 
pretty good condition, and with so much of the interior done, redoing the 
mechanicals should not be too difficult.  I could scope it again if anyone 
is interested.
