    '77 Aspen T-top in the junkyard

    I've never seen an example of the headliner in question, but that doesn't mean it doesn't/didn't exist. Mopar, particularly in the years the F's were made, had so many weird combinations that I wonder if this may have been a rare option. If so, it was a nice one. For example, my original '76...

    FOR SALE 81 wagon

    Wow, that's too bad. Your wagon is so nice, you should try to hang on to it if at all possible. If not, I hope you can find it a good home.

    New Super Coupe owner in Minnesota/Wisconsin

    Congrats on your find! Not a lot of the SC's around anymore, and it's a shame that someone let this one go for so long. Amazing that anyone could let it sit for so long. I hope it's salvageable, but then I suppose anything is if you really want it to be. Welcome!

    That's a beautiful coupe! Nice colors and is looks like it is in really nice shape! Is the interior cloth or leather? What options does it have? More pictures are always appreciated. Welcome!

    New Volare Mom

    Welcome! Cool car, and great that it is a four door! I really like them - great porportions to their design. Looks like a Premier with at least the light package option and does it have a vinyl roof? Love the black paint. What color is the interior? I have both the factory service manuals...

    OY's second cousin, once removed.

    There is currently a '78 Volare wagon on eBay that is somewhat similar to my Aspen: "Old Yellow" (OY). Same one-year-only color of "Classic Cream" and it also has the cool upgraded plaid interior. Unlike OY, it has a 360 four barrel, automatic, and is for sale. This Volare is an interesting...

    Out with the Ford, in with the Dodge

    Had to be careful not to slice my leg open getting in and out. Even the doors were rusting away from the inside. I had resealed the back window once, but it still leaked like a sieve and the plastic storage bins behind the seat were always filled with water after it rained.

    Out with the Ford, in with the Dodge

    Yeah, but dents vs rust is a no-brainer for me. You are right, I had a good time trying to find a decent tailgate and bumper for it. This burned out '03 had the best ones I found. Nothing else much good was left on it. My Ford looked good, but the rust underneath was awful. I sold it for...

    Out with the Ford, in with the Dodge

    I have not had good luck with any of the Fords that I have owned: An '82 Escort wagon 5 speed that was fun to drive but a POS mechanically; a '93 Taurus that was absolutely the worst car I have ever owned, a '99 Windstar van that was fine until 100K and then developed a dangerously rusted rear...

    Out with the Ford, in with the Dodge

    Earlier this year, I replaced my 2000 F150 with a 2002 Ram 1500. Although my F150 still ran fine, it was rusting away and I did not want to put more $$ into it. I found the Ram for sale on the front lawn of a house near me and found that it was just what I was looking for. A standard cab, 8...
