Just picked up a free '82 Lebaron....

[82LeBaron]

...it's in horrible condition(exterior), but it was FREE, and it runs...but only if gas is poured into the carb. The interior is almost perfect...except for a few stains. Any advice as to what might get the car running for now? should I bother? how about an engine swap? would this car make a good sleeper? let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Chris.

Clogged fuel filter, inoperative fuel pump.
Try cranking the engine and see if fuel comes out of the outlet side of the pump.

FREE is good. I paid $150 for my 87 coupe. After asking around on this board, I think the turbo was overboost and broke the engine. The body is good, as well as the interior, but the engine is VERY weak. Guess I've found my winter project!
