    79 Aspen

Same as you, around 2005 I went to Carlisle Chrysler event and spotted a 80 Volare' wagon for sale. 6 auto and not much else. Found...

If you ever want to part with it,and the timing is right, Please keep me in mind. I spend most of my time on A&B Bodies but will always be a closet F...

    Just When You Think You are the Only One

    I'll second that. I was working at the dealership when those cars were new. The Dodge looked right,The Chrysler and Plymouth looked like someone read the blue print wrong.

    A new stable mate for the 79 Lebaron

    So many schools no longer have those classes. I think Tech schools are great for younger generations. Nothing like hands on. To this day I remember what my instructor said. " You may not get rich in this field of work,but you will never be out of a job." Held true for me for the last 50 years...

    Drop spindles vs lowering torsion bars

    You would never know it but this Valiant was fitted with Fatman Fab 2'' drop spindles,Along with .920 torsion bars, gas shocks, and all new bushings.15'' wheels and tires.The car was sold before the sway bars were ordered.It handled much better than the 50 year old O.E. equipment it was born with.

    1979 Volare E58 Police Car- good for parts or sell?

    The E-58 's are strong runners. I have a hard time parting a car unless it is really rusty or crashed beyond repair.BUT as far as value they are worth very little and are revered by few. I am in the same mindset as you with my 79 Chrysler 300.Great car,E-58 no rust drives fine and reliable,drive...
