76 Volare Factory 4 Speed

[ChuckM]

Hi there. I think I scored a cool 76 Volare. Maybe not. It's from a family member on my wife's side. He is 75 years old. It's a 318 2 barrel with the factory 4 speed. 94000 miles in Arizona. Not only is it kept in a garage, but it also stays covered. Are these cars rare, or fairly common? I'm not officially going to get it until next Saturday

I have no idea about rarity, but that is a nice looking car, I love the paint/stripe combination. Being a 4 speed, you have a lot of options should you decide to modify it.

Not rare but also not all that common. Looks in really nice shape and would be fun to cruise around in.

Thank you for responding. Yeah the last one I had was a blue ttop version back in 1988. I joined this group just out of curiosity. Yours looks really nice too. I lived in Canada until 2005 and never saw a volare or aspen there anymore. I think the road salt ate them. I've been in California and I see one every once in a while, but not often

You’ll see less of them on the road then a number of classic cars but, not particularly rare.
They’re still not even particularly sought after; but they will be. The mid 70s Dusters are just starting to get real popular, in a decade (give or take), people will be all over F bodies too.

Thanks Cam. I promised I'd never sell it, but just thought I'd ask about it. The car is super clean. I'm going to have to daily drive it for a few months until I can get another beater car. Then I too will keep it covered in my garage and just bring it out on the weekends

Looks like a base coupe that probably had the interior redone and upgraded from original. If the car was always in Arizona, it can be hard on interior materials. I think the 4-speed in a 3-speed with overdrive, so it will be a responsive car, and economical at the same time. I sold these new in 76, people really liked them. Hope you get the car.

Thanks, I'm hoping it's everything it's reported to be.
