1976 Aspen R/T

[stansblue72]

My Son-in-law and I took a road trip on Saturday and bought this 1976 Aspen R\T. It will be my daughters car when we get done with it.
She wants to go to car shows with us and have here own car there.

Looks like it was originally silver with red / orange graphics.
She want us to paint it FM3 pink with black and white R\T graphics on it.

Came with a stock 318 and a rebuilt 727 and a new drive line.
Has 8 1/4 323 sure grip under it.
Should be a fun project.

sweet....it brings back memories, as I bouth a 78 aspen R/T brand new, and it was black with yellow/red/orange stripes, with all the window louvers, and spoilers, 318 with a 4 speed. I sold it to a guy, to buy a new trans am, and he later totaled it.

I wished they still made those cars. We did not know how great they were--after the smog stuff was removed.

Actually, as an F-body owner for over 30 years, I can say, with much love, those cars were absolute CRAP... and I'm glad Chrysler DOESN'T make them like this anymore... or they'd have gone broke YEARS ago...

And I say that with much love for F-bodies....

Hmmm, well I never owned one but gee with 4.10 gears and a hot 340 it would have to move. I went with the larger heavier 78 Magnum car cause I figure it be safer and hold the road better. Have yet to total it so glad I brought it.

We're finding lots of cancer. All seems to be in areas that we can fix fairly easy though.
Fun Fun Fun!!!

What Whip and The Toolman said:

Ya did good. The F-M-J gang will be expecting you. They're a great bunch.

 

[dodge freak]

Aren't station wagons nice, they can haul stuff like an suv and you see what is in front of them and they don't roll over as easy as suv's.
