Thanks for watching the video If This 1979 Plymouth Volare Premier Station Wagon Could Talk - Авто та транспорт
![Old School Station Wagon collection of Family Haulers Truckster to Vista Cruiser style Buick [2020]](/img/n.gif)
had one of these as a 16 year old kid in 1986. a hand me down from "mom", and as un-cool as it was, and as much ribbing as I took from my buddies, this was the BEST car I ever had. It NEVER EVER broke down, had ice cold a/c, got good mileage and held a whole slew of friends.
That's awesome, Mark! Thanks for the comment and we're so glad you enjoyed it! They were great for hauling all those friends out on the town!
Thanks to Dennis I got to see my dad's old car. I was the previous owner and this was a awesome video and review. My dad and mom would be so happy to see that Dennis is enjoying his pride and joy. This video brought tears to my eyes from the memories but also to see it enjoyed and used like it was when we had the car. I sure did hate to see it go! Just a awesome video you guys very great detail. And Dennis thanks my friend for sharing this so I could see this. Happy motoring Dennis!!!
Wow Steve, thank you SO much for your comment! This is THE reason we do this channel and your comment brought tears to our eyes as well. I know it was hard to let this car go but it really does have the best home it could. As a matter of fact, when choosing which of Dennis' amazing collection of cars to do our first feature with - we picked this sweet wagon to be the first because we both loved it from the first time we saw it a local cruise night! It is getting lots of love from all over the world now and thanks to your parents, that appreciation will continue. Watch for more from the Kerry garage soon!
My friend's mother had a '76 or '77 Dodge Aspen Sedan with the 318. It never ran correctly. My great Aunt had a '70 Plymouth Valiant, totally bone strip stock with the 225 slant 6 and automatic. Owned it 15 yrs before she passed and it had about 27,000 miles on it. Ran like a top because she serviced it every 6 months at the dealer. Those engines are truly bulletproof.
That's cool Tom! Too bad you don't still have that one! Thanks for the comment and hope you subscribed!
Wow and it sounds like it was the right buyer for the car. Such a cool story. What a beautiful car.
I truly like this Volare, and it has a slant six, you are one lucky guy, cheers.
Thanks for the nice comment Eric! Hope you are a subscriber and part of the ITCCT family.
Thank you for showing us this beauty Dennis. In the early 80's, I had a '76 Volare Road Runner with 318 and 4 speed OD transmission and a '77 Aspen R/T with a 360 and AT. I also owned a B body RR and a GTX, and neither of those cars could hang with an F-body in the corners. I always thought in those days that an Aspen or Volare wagon would be a great parts hauler for me, but never came across a wagon at the right price.
Thanks for watching and leaving your comment! Hope you keep having lots of fun cruising your RR and GTX! Maybe you'll still come across a cool wagon one day!
My first car was a hand-me-down blue Volare wagon. Memories!
Thanks for watching and for sharing your memory! Welcome to the ITCCT family!
Beautiful car, and not easy to find one anymore. I own a '78 Dodge Aspen wagon with the Super Six and the four speed "OD" transmission. It only has about 30,000 miles on it and is rust free as it came from the desert in Colorado.
Agreed! Hope you enjoy your '78 for a long time to come! Thanks for watching and for your great comment!
I had a '76 2 door Volare with a 318 and a rare 4 speed manual overdrive transmission with a floor shifter. It was a great car. Ran like a top and got 25 mpg at 70 mph. That overdrive transmiossion was great for highway cruising.
Very nice! Thanks for watching and sharing your story!
I had the same vehicle with the Road Runner trim in the early '80's Steve. I also owned a couple B body Mopars at the time- a '69 Road Runner, and '70 GTX. Although that stock 318 was no match for the acceleration capabilities of my big block cars, the F body handled SOOOO much better. I could easily enter corners at 10 to 15 MPH faster than I would dare try with a B body, and there was very little body roll when cornering hard. I eventually upgraded the 318 Volare RR with a beefier cam, 4 barrel carb, and headers. At that point I had a vehicle that could easily hang with a big block B body on acceleration, and leave it behind after the first corner. I have had some nice classic mopars, but that Volare RR remains my favorite, as it was so much better balanced for everyday driving.
Hi, I’m George, I had a 1978 Volare wagon, brown or bronze in color with wood siding. I had that car 14 years, all in Florida, I kept it because it just kept running, never wanted to quit. It was a 225. Only main issue was the front end, always had to get an alignment done on it. Now the driver’s door was sagging, the bushings must have been bad. But other than that it just kept running. Remember the day I sold it in 1997, watched the new owners drive it off with a tear in my eyes.
Hi George and thanks for watching and sharing such a heartfelt memory! We get it...some cars just have that hold on us and we've heard similar stories of the emotion felt when selling a special car. We've felt it ourselves! Keep watching!
Nice car . I daily drive a 79 dodge diplomat wagon. My friend bought it from a junkyard in 2017 with 24,000 original miles. The previous owner passed away. It now has 92,500 miles. It has a 318 with a two barrel Holley carburetor.
Wow Linden, that sounds like an awesome daily driver! Thanks for watching and commenting. We love to hear stories like this!
We had a Chrysler executive Volare Premier wagon. E58 360/4, ginger upper/dark walnut brown lower paint. Velour split seats, full power, cassette tape, roof rack, gold painted aluminum wheels, road/police suspension package. Great daily driver, soft seats, plenty of power, crisp handling. Ohio rust killed it.
Sounds like a beautiful car, Paul and like you have fond memories of your family wagon! Thanks for watching and commenting!
These cars, if you got an excellent sample, bc Chrysler's quality control was pathetic during these years, would last you a very long time due to its indestructible powertrain.
These cars offered a beautiful ride, decent handling and wonderful comfort.
My Dad purchased one of these, brand new in 1978 and it lasted us 12 years and over a 140 000 miles.
I learned to drive in this car , 33 years ago.
We sold it in 1990 to my Dad's co worker for $200.
He drove it for another 3 years and 37 000 miles more before he got rid of it.
The slant 6 in these vehicles were bulletproof.
My Dad did not do his first oil and filter change until 37 500 miles! Yet the engine continued to purr!
Wow! We hear versions of this same story from lots of people which is why we knew everyone would love this feature! Thanks for the comment and for your support of this channel!
Very beautiful SW, from Mopar Crisis Era. The design of all this line-up of Volare-Aspen duo, shows that the team work at Highland Park, were correct. The size, features, engines, and all other tech specs were up to its competitors, and personaly I DO Prefer this wagon rather than a modern SUV, no matter electronics and multimedia gadgets, not appealing me at all, very normal, today, every body does. But, what we have got here, is a piece of American industry knowledge, and a correct product, because this frame F, G, M body , lasted until 1989. Great, very remarkable.
Completely agree Guillermo! Thanks for the nice comment and hope you are now a subscriber!
So beautiful Volare STW! Very nice video.
She really is a beauty. Thanks for the comment and your support of our channel!
That's a beauty. They were very underappreciated in their day. That wagon is a treasure.
Thanks for watching and commenting James! The really fun part of featuring that wagon is the friendship with the current owner and the previous owner is a subscriber here and loves that his dad's car is still looking so good and cruising around the valley!
ALL PRE 1996 WAGONS ARE A TREASURE, as opposed to todays SUV'S That are Oversized, Have very little cargo space !!!!..& They ALL Look The SAME IN THEIR DESIGN!!.,EVERY, EVERY BRAND ....BRING BACK THE CLASSIC WAGONS OF YESTER YEAR!!
A fantastic story!😎
Glad you enjoyed it! Keep watching!
Ooh, a slant 6! It will certainly get great gas mileage! And, run for the next 40 years!
Oh...you bet! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful car. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Nice to hear your life story Dennis😴😴😴😴
Incredible, love it.
Thanks Larry!
Remember these cars well several of my parents friends had them and if they didn’t get rusty they lasted forever
Thanks for the nice comment Arthur! This little wagon has been a big hit with our viewers!
A truly amazing piece of auto history!
It really is!
I used to own a 1977 Plymouth Volare Wagon back in 1986 to 1998. My wagon wagon got destroyed by rust because the 318 and the transmission were still operational but the floor boards were totally gone. I sold the rusted out wagon to a friend that needed the engine and transmission for his Dodge Truck. After he removed the drive train and the useable parts from the wagon he sold it to a junkyard.
Bummer about the rust but hope you enjoyed the car before that. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
Those chrome magnum 500 wheels aren't original. It would have had a similar road wheel with beauty trim rings. Super nice car ! I have a low mileage 79 Dodge Aspen Station Wagon, and i hope mine is that nice one day .
Thanks for watching and for commenting! Keep cruising and having fun in your Aspen wagon!
I don't remember ever seeing a red one, back then. Very nice 👍
I don't remember seeing them at all! Maybe red was a rare color then? Thanks for the nice comment!
It's a great looking Volare wagon. But, it really should get better than 22 mpg on the highway. I had an 88 Gran Fury, fully loaded with a 318 and I got 27 mpg on the highway. It's essentially the same car under the sheet metal. Many parts actually interchange.
Thanks for watching Kent! I don't know how accurate that 22 mpg number is, but you are right about it being a great looking wagon! Bet the Gran Fury was cool!
I wonder how many samples of the Plymouth Volare ,Dosge Aspen, are still in existence
Hard to say but it can't be many! Thanks for your comment!
My father had a 1976 or 77 Volare wagon. I was in it when it was totaled in an accident. Somebody hit us in the drivers door and around the front wheel. Always thought it interesting that though it was toraled we were able to drive away aftr the accident and .my father in fact drove it for weeks afterward ubtil he got a new one. The other car however thoufg it didnt look near as bad must have had damage ubder the hood and wouldnt start and had to be towed. .y father did a lot of drivibg for his job so the car had a lot of miles on it.
Thanks for watching and sharing your memories!
What a find. The only thing I don't like are the wheels. How odd--rain must not touch!
Thanks for watching and commenting. Glad you like the car!
Nice car
Thanks Mark!
Dean Martin sang a song about it...
Great video ! Cool station wagon, my parents had one of these back in the day, it was the Dodge Aspen sedan.
Thanks Andre! Glad it brought back some good memories for you. Hope you are a subscriber and share this video.
@@IfThisCarCouldTalk Thanks for your reply and yes I subscribed to your channel 😀 because I have a great love for old cars. I myself own a 1981 Oldsmobile Delta 88 sedan and I hoping to get something older than my Oldsmobile.
@@andregonsalvez9244 Welcome to the ITCCT family!
@@IfThisCarCouldTalk 🙂🙂 Thanks 😊 ! I hope the younger generations also appreciate the cars and trucks of the past .
@@andregonsalvez9244 Some do but I'm afraid most do not. We need to do our best to get them interested and help them appreciate the history and cool factor!
#moparornocar!!
Just for you Terry! You just don't find them like this!
I knew this was an Ohio car when I saw the spitzer emblem on the tailgate.
Oh ya? That's a great comment! Thanks for watching!
❤
Thanks for watching and loving this feature!
ANOTHER GREAT CL:ASSIC CAR VIDEO!!...But MUST YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE VERY IRRITATING RPEATED BACKGROUND MUSIC THAT ALWAYS OVER POWERS THE NARRATOR!!!!...VERY VERY ANNOYING!!!
No need to yell! We've changed how we do our videos and no longer have the background music on this type of feature. So sorry to have annoyed you BUT you must allow for growth as this is one of our older videos. Glad you liked the car.
a built slat 6 can make a wagon do a wheelie . my best idea was to get a 440 interceptor cop motor under the hood of a kcar wagon where nobody would expect it. sleeper wagon
My 1st wagon was a 76 volare and it was fun, wish I still had it but the trans locked up and I was a kid. I have had maybe 6 wagons in the Mopar family. the 1st one was the most fun but one I had, had a pretty beefy 318. I killed most of my many cars. Some cars I forget what happened to em. Wagons are my favorite.
before edit. the wagon was a slant 6 / 4speed manual. If i see one again, Im probly gonna buy it
I have a (1978 volare wagon) for [$ALE].
Let Me Know if your interested. I’m in [CT].
