    I know this is an older video but I really appreciate seeing this old Aspen. I live in PA and haven't seen these cars for many many years. Brings back a lot of memories for me. I was born in 83 but I remember the late 80's and early 90's when my mom had this generation Aspen but it was a red wagon with wood paneling. My parents didn't have alot of money so they drove older cars. My dad had a Dodge Diplomat. I used to ride in the way back of the wagon and play with my toys. Was hit in the ass end and totaled while parked on the side of the street by a drunk driver. I can almost remember hearing the impact outside. My mother still tried to drive it afterwards, didn't work out so well. Most of it was held together by duct tape. From what I remember she didn't want to give it up because it still ran like a tank. Thanks for the flashback to my childhood! Seeing the dash and interior just brings it all back.

    Just cruising through and saw this. When my kids were still in car seats, I had a 77 Dodge Aspen Wagon SE. You know, that one with the paper faux wood grain sides. At the time, it was a mint car, with a beautiful interior and no dents or rust. This was about 1985, so it wasn't new - just really nice. It was very cheap because these had long since fallen out of favor. I remember when Chrysler came out with the Diplomat and Aspen series cars. They were everywhere. very popular. Lots of police versions in both models. The beat cops got the Diplomats and the detectives got the Aspens. I have to say this: It was the most comfortable, smooth riding, and had the best ergonomics of any car I have ever owned. The AC was great and always worked. The wipers never failed. Somewhat underpowered with the 225 slant 6, but extremely reliable. Also, it was just about the right size for a small family. The downsides were that Chrysler failed in the details. Bad door locks and electric window controls, etc. That sort of thing was rampant in the 70's with lots of cars, though. All in all, I have always remembered that car as one of the best I have ever driven.

    What a cool car! A friend of mine has 3 Plymouth Volares: A brown 1976 Four door, A Blue 1978 Four Door, & a silver 1980 2-door fastback. Al of them have the 225 Slant Six. The brown 1976 is used as a daily driver & runs good. As for suggestions, power wash this car, clean the interior, keep the original gear reduction starter in it, fix any mechanical issues, install a dual exhaust in it, put a working stereo in it, make sure the ac works, 7 drive & enjoy it.

    When I was young our elderly next door neighbor Mrs. Freeburn used to own a 4 door Volare, in that color. I remember a fall evening going to youth group at her church, it was raining like mad and we were running late. As we turned onto the highway I heard her say "Lord, get us there on time", that car converted me to Mopar right then and there. Her Husband was a bit of hot rodder, and he didn't skimp on this car. It climbed the Warminister hill sideways and I'm sure her shoe never left the rug until we pulled into the parking lot.

    Boy that car brought back some memories. My parents had a maroon one with maroon vinyl interior absolutely gawd awful but it was my first car when they gave it to me. Drove mine across the scales for scrap after many years driving it hard. I ran that car out of gas, water, and oil and it kept going. The scrap yard gave it to local college who wrecked it for some study and displayed it during alcohol awareness week on campus as what could happen if you drove drunk. That was the last time I saw her.

    I put a points distributor in my 82 gran fury after I went through a couple lean burn systems. The car had a 360 I put in it to replace the blown up 318 I don’t know what I did as far as gearing and such but the 360 would from a dead stop no power braking smoke the tires through all of the gears. I had non believers so I took them out and showed them. The 360 was from a 1978 dodge. Oh yes this motor was run out of oil a couple times and overheated a couple of times as well. The only problem with the model car you have there is the leaf springs would blow through into the trunk, dusters do it as well. Good luck reviving this beast

    I gave up on Mopar F/M/Js after my 3rd one rusted out at the subframe below the firewall. The subframe rails are U shaped with a cap but there's a gap where junk collects and it rots out from the inside. First thing that goes is the parking brake since the anchor points are there, then you'll have weird issues with the door gaps closing on top and opening on the bottom, as well as spot welds shearing between the subframe and the metal wheel tubs. The only prevention is drill access holes to clean it out once in a while, fluid film the crap out of them, and don't daily drive it during New York winters.

However in your case it probably would be a better idea to put a regular old vacuum advance distributor 70s carb and plain old Mopar electronic ignition on there. I'm definitely interested to see how this project works out. Once you get it to run and drive and cleaned up it will be an awesome car. Cheers.
