1978 Plymouth Volare Super Coupe

Ойын-сауық

So today I took the Super Coupe out for a drive. It's been about a year since I last drove it. Such a fun and unique car to drive.

    Absolutely love that car!. Such a rare car- it was music to my ears to hear that rowdy cam and see that reverse manual valve body Trans. Now I have a new dream car. Absolute bad ass perfect restoration with the right modifications in my opinion. Love that rare Volarè Super Coupe! Please don't change a thing!

    I had one my parents bought it new. I took over the payments and 82. It was black with red interior came from the factory with air dam, rear window louver, spoiler, rear wheel flares. with the road runner package the car horn sounded like The Warner Bros. cartoons road runner, Beep beep! The memories I made in that car. Priceless. That’s why I’m here now I was reminiscing.

    Nice Super Coupe! I had a '76 Volare w/ 318 and pretty rare 4 speed manual on the floor w/ 4th gear overdrive. That thing was a great highway cruiser. I'd get 25 mpg at 65 mph, (speed limit was 55 back then), all day long. They had smog stuff choking the engine down. They weren't considered "muscle cars" back then, but they are a great platform for a restomod now. You can probably get one for a decent price compared to just about any other '70's Mopar. Don't see many of them anymore. I think most of them rusted into oblivion. One mod that completly changes the look of the Volare/Aspen is to trim the bottom half of the bumpers off and section them in tight to the body on the sides. Those 5mph bumpers are so chunky it really makes the rest of the car look heavy. Saw one with that bumper treatment and it looked like a different car.

    My first car was a 78 Volare. Had a super six. I added a Holley carb from a cc model after the Carter went bad. Would do 110 mph.

    I had a '76 Aspen coupe, slant six, with a four speed in it . It was the same brown color with the same yellow and orange stripes only a much smaller version of them. It wasn't fast but I sure did love it, especially those funky '76 tail lights that it had. I would give anything to have it back and that's coming from a guy who has owned many, MANY "more desirable " muscle cars. . . P.s. I too had an original "pistol grip" shifter though I never put it in anything. I ended up giving it to a friend and I think he was broke and eventually sold it. Oh well, live and learn... And then it's too late😄

    Back in 85 My uncle had the 77 orange road runner with white interior crank back sun roof really nice car. He built the 360 up pretty good put a 456 gear in it and back then it was considered a pretty fast street car. Probably wasn't even 300 hp but with 456 gear felt like a rocket lol.

    Haven't seen one since someone broadsided me in 82 and totaled. It had 1500 miles on it in 82 and then and got clobbered by some old farts who didn't see me. "Was" a unique car even back then. Have some photos but cant make attachment here. Love to share.

    everyone says 70's was the end of muscle & for the big blocks it was but there were still a few cool cars that slipped in, the 80's was really when cars took a nose dive. look at a 68 0r 69 Torino Cobra 429scj then a Torino in the 80's... a slap in the face. you dont see many of these Volare's

    With A LOT of work on the body and brakes, and LITTLE work on A GREAT drivetrain. I KNOW YOUR "BUILT" MoPar IS AWESOME! The Aspens/Volares, would have been LEGENDARY if the "nondrivetrain" rest of the car could have "kept up"! These cars LITERALLY HAD IT ALL!

    These Roadrunners at this time came with the base 318 V8 or the higher performance 360 V8. I think some might have even had a Slant 6 with a 2bbl.

    Good stuff, close to my current numbers, 392 hp and 490 ish ftlbs. I'm running a 408 stroker out of the original block due to some cylinder wall pitting. Stock heads are being swapped in to aluminum mopar super commando heads this spring, saw your post about it in fmj mopars earlier. Great car
