nice car I have a black one (with the body chrome ( headlight doors t-tops etc all blacked out from the factory , the super pack I am told ) 360 factory 4bbl - handles like a dream like on a rail with no body sway & quick .
Gotta give credit where credit is due. That's as nice a car as was rolled off any assembly line that year. I had a 77 challenger, bright orange, plaid interior, 2.6 Mitsubishi 5spd that I really loved. Ole thing wasn't hyper fast,but it handled great at any speed. Still cruised pretty good at 100mph. In high school me and some of the other guys drove to evening vocational school and we'd race across the town bypass along the way. It was a mountain road 5 or 6 miles long and my little challenger would out handle the bigger Camaros,torinos,and even a s10 with a small block chevy v8 in it. It's a wonder we didn't kill our fool selves,lol. Those were the days.
Really nice car! "360 Premium engine", complete with the little decals on the front of each rocker cover stating such. 195 HP in the dual-exhaust version on the '79 Newport FHP car I had in the early '80s. A practically indestructible engine.
Very nice car brother! I haven't seen an Aspen R/T that nice in many years. I had a new 1976 Aspen R/T I ordered new in 1976. Mine was a 4 speed with a 318 mill. Jamaican Blue Metallic and white interior. Loved that car.
I would have tossed the electronic lean burn into the weeds!😂 I bought the counterpart of this car the roadrunner volare. In 79' it was orange with black and red and brighter orange stripes, spoilers and louvers.. ttops 14" rallye wheels and factory RWL 205/70R-14s air conditioning multi plex stereo which had the built in Cass and 8track player, I know for a fact that both the roadrunner and aspen RT only came with a single exhaust system! But most turned them into duals! Myself included! I changed the rear out for a Dana 60 with 4:10 ratio! And ditched the crappy electronic lean burn...
I had a 77 volare sport coupe that looked almost exactly like yours 318 was very powerful. You could always tell when a mopar was starting because of the sound the starters made. Nice car. Sucks we can't put pictures on here now
They call that Mopar flywheel-starter sound “the Hamtramck Hummingbird” after the city in Michigan where Chrysler divisions built countless cars and trucks with that starter design.
Love the color combo on this one! Very unique it is! I had a 1976 Volare Road Runner Super Pak. Spitfire Orange. Love the body style (F-body). What is the name of the Dodge color? Thanks!
I've always felt that the Dodge Aspen R/T and Plymouth Volare Road runners were very much unappreciated cars. Loved them from the time they were out, always thought they were cool. It's like my 87 Monte Carlo SS, they seem unappreciated, too.
Yes the Monte Carlo ss got over shadowed by the Buick grand national and the GNX! My brother had the 84' model which is the only year it came in blue for some unknown reseaon!!! The 180hp 305 most people always was waiting for Chevy to put in a more higher performance tuned port injection system like the camaro iroc z had! But never came to pass! Also it's strange how the standard model 84 Monte Carlo could be had with ttops but not the SS in 84'
Yes, they were intended to replace the Duster and Dart Sport that had been popular for years, but their popularity waned. All 4 models were available in '76, the last year of Duster and Dart. The Volare and Aspen just didn't catch on.
My oldest brother had an Aspen R/T but it had a slant six in it. It was a POS but I do believe that was the previous owners fault. When my brother gave it back to the used car lot he bought it from my buddy and I challenged the dealer to a drag race for titles, that Aspen R/T against my 82 Camaro Berlinetta, it also had a six cylinder. We almost had them convinced to do it. We planned on winning the car and dropping a 318 into it. They chickened out at the last minute though.
Beautiful color. I have never seen one in blue. Is that a 360? My Mom had 2 Cordobas back in the day. Blah. l dont think the 76 had Lean Burn but the 78 did and was troublesome and was removed.
Very nice Aspen! Beautifully preserved, and not messed up with add-ons. Except for the Torque Thrust wheels ( which look really good! ), it looks just like it would have on the dealers lot. One suggestion, unplug the ignition buzzer under the drivers seat (white inline plug). Much rather hear the Mopar starter than that annoying buzzer.
These cars were OK, I guess. Chrysler did what it could under the circumstances of the late '70's. The dress up items helped in appearances but they were still Aspens.😄 My grandmother had a red on red '78 Aspen with the 225 six. We had it for about a year after she passed in '88. It was still in pretty much new condition when we sold it.
Dude. That was the year I got my D/L so I sure remember these ... but ... this is *clearly* fake since, being in Maine, this car should have turned into a pile of rust by '82 ... '83 at the latest! :-D Kidding of course ... but seriously how is it so clean? It's REALLY nice!
Jeeze, they didn't look that good when brand new. I almost bought one in '76, all black with red striping. It came with a 360 2 barrel and single exhaust. I'm glad I didn't.

Beautiful.
My first car was a '77 Aspen R/T 360 Black with Red/Org. Stripes absolutely loved it....
Que hermoso auto felicidades
Very clean, sharp lil car. Very few left, probably top10 or 20 remaining as far as condition
Always loved these. You don't see many.
Wow! So much to like here!
Beautiful car! This was built when cars had distinctive lines. Now, they all look like bubbles with wheels.
That is a nice color combination,and with those Cragars.which add to the R/T stripes👌👍☝️☝️👍👌
I haven’t seen one in decades, that’s a nice clean ride you got there brother
Thanks man
Yrah that's a nice car. Rare and in great shape. Best of luck with it.

Super nice!! Take care of it now. And don't slam the doors!!

I am not a Dodge fan, but no denying this is a beauty.

I loved the sound of those starters!
@@lovetocrank yea it was cool
Did it take a lot of cranking to get it started sometimes? I kind of liked that so that that you could hear the sound of that starter longer.
@@lovetocrank they all cranked for a minute before starting. You always got to hear the old mopar starter for a while cranking. Loved the sound of em
WOW AMAZING MACHINE POWER 100% DODGE BEAUTIFUL CAR
🏁🏆🏁✔️💯
if this is just a joke, i get it, but if you unironically commented this in 2021 i feel sorry for you
The Dodge Magnum was underappreciated also. I recall they even had a Magnum in the Winston Cup Series
Yes, Richard Petty drove one.
Love the color combo on this one! Very unique it is! I had a 1976 Volare Road Runner Super Pak. Spitfire Orange. Love the body style (F-body). What is the name of the Dodge color? Thanks!
Ensign Blue Metalic
Those had a great cranking sound!
Very nice car there! Those rims look great!!
Beautiful car jealous people may be comment negative from this car and dislike the video.🤦♂️🤷♂️
Nice! My father use to have a 1980 Plymouth Volare with the slant 6.
A jewel from the land of salt and snow
Buen carro del 78 .. motor 318 aqui en venezuela muy bonito
Nice ride!
Ah...the sweet sound of vinyl seats.lol

Sweat car looks brand new very nice and T top, special car.
Wow nice shape!
Fine Corinthian leather interior. Lol Ricardo montalbon used to say that in the Plymouth commercials

That’s a very sharp car !
Perfect conditions !
Did you take the cats off ??? It sounds like my 89 Mustang with Flowmasters....what a rare car....
Family had a 77 Volaré. It rusted to shit quickly. I don't know how you kept yours so clean.
I remember my uncle driving us around in one......
Wish I had one
Nice car. I got 76 Plymouth volare. Does it still have original front end?
Thanks, yes it does.
I had to watch this twice, wow.
Great color, nice and un~_ucked with…
I have a 78 volarie
wicked car man thanks for the post
Thanks man, she is a sweet one!
Yes she is looking for one myself.
Perfect looking,rare R/T,only thing that stumps me is the engine being Ford blue instead of Mopar orange.
That's more of a Pontiac blue...
What's it do in the quarter? 17.5? 18?
That's got to be one of the cleanest best looking Aspens I've ever seen and it still makes me cringe.
So its the same as a Volare?
Yes. Bit more expensive.
Nice car!

Very cool car been many years since I’ve seen one . Way to close with the camera though
Divine
Rear spoiler is just like trans am or Camaro .looks completely different from them GM's sport cars but still it's no worse then they are.

It looks like the lean burn system is disconnected---that's a step in the right direction

Kidding of course ... but seriously how is it so clean? It's REALLY nice!
Not the original speakers in the package tray.
Jeeze, they didn't look that good when brand new. I almost bought one in '76, all black with red striping. It came with a 360 2 barrel and single exhaust. I'm glad I didn't.
Carry a spare ballast resistor…
sell me this car!
Wish I still had it.
Nice. I had a 1979 Aspen GC (granny car 😂) Slant six engine, 72,000 miles on it. $1200. That was 30 years ago.
