the lx and gt could come in convertable, hatchback and coupe. Both of them could have either body style even though the coupe version of the gt is rather rare. They bouth could have the 5.0 but only the lx could have the 2.3. The GT had some sport options and exterior aperrance differences.
DaGGer - I have yet to see a GT coupe. The GT Convertable is the closest I have seen a GT that looks like a coupe. If you can provide pics or point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

What do you mean they have the same engine? LX had 2.3L GT had 5.0L engines.

Crazyhorse is right.

wow weird thread and even weirder answers, a GT has gorund effect and fog lights, it comes in hatchbak or convertible. an LX has not ground effects or fog lights, it comes in hatchback, coupe (trunk.. reffered to as notch) and convertible. they all have the same engine but the LX are lighter. the list (from heaviest to lightest) goes as follows:

-GT convertible
-LX convertible
-GT
-LX hatchback
-LX coupe (notch)

yup...so rare that none exist.

any notch w/ the aero kit was homemade. it's possible saleen did a couple , but i think they are homemade as well.

5.0 lx is (odering and insurance wise) "lx sport"

and there is huge diff in insurance....i used to have a $500 beater and the insurance was less on my '89 notch 5.0 5-speed than this '84 lebaron 4-banger....this was in about 1998
