The R/T is an attractive piece of man made machinery.

From an era when Mopar was nothing but Slo-par..

 

[OL DODGE]

this was my 77 Road Runner-same body style 69 340.727.8 3/4,fiberglass front end,roll bar built it back in 1990,still racing in columbus Ohio but under different management.

 

[OL DODGE]

It did very well against Chevys

 

[65 Dartman]

Yeah...IF the state you live in isn't populated by idiot politicians that enact unrealistic emission testing.
That car is still required to pass smog/emission tests because it is newer than 1975.

Where I live there is no emissions check (not even on a late model). On that Aspen it would be just a visual to see if a cat is still present (whether it works or not).

 

[Jimacuda]

Make me a believer....show me an Aspen or Volare that shows TRUE Mopar muscle.....I wont hold my breath lol

dont...I wouldnt want you to turn blue or nothin'...

 

[OL DODGE]

I built it to be a drag car. not a street car . I'm against violating the clean air act that said, it was a good body for a drag car because of a lot of room in the engine compartment as compared to my damned "beeker" 73 those other f-bodies are sweet love the wagon!!!

 

[Jimacuda]

I'm kinda stuck on the wagon too.
Had this one for several years now...

They were all slow then, not just mopar.
check the specs, but IIRC one of the stock 360 4bbl F bodies was beating most of the rest of the crowd.

 

[69_340_GTS]

Yeah, those things rusted even quicker than a Japanese car. The mid 70s/early 80s were not the automobile's finest era.



I didn't realize that there were states that still did the probe-up-the-tailpipe emissions checks. Here it's strictly OBDII, '96 or newer only (and even that was forced on us by the feds).

25 years and older (1992) are exempt from emissions tests here. Like you said OBD-II didn't become mandatory on all U.S. cars until 1996, so I am guessing they still sniff test the '93-'95 cars here.

 

[stroked340]

True..they stop building real cars in '72..

 

[rumblefish360]

True..they stop building real cars in '72..

Gotta disagree with you there. It's not that they stopped building real cars in '72, it was the Fed's that neutered everything.
Besides, there nothing done to them that can't be .... adjusted!
LMAO

 

[adriver]

Buy it before.someone does that would put ghetto wheels on it.
Is it just me or does that body not have distinctive Australian look.
I mean not exactly like this.
But just a "look".

 

[Back4morpar]

My 17 year old daughter needs her car I think that one looks good for her

 

[chryslerfat]

That is uglier than a Nova. I would like to own the wagon version instead.

Glass houses, people...especially you first gen barracuda owners

 

[AJ/FormS]

That's a 20hr drive for me

 

[moparmandan]

That's it. I'm coming out. Tired of the hate. I Loved my Aspen. There I said it. Better than a piece of Cheby!

I have seen some REAL ugly Novas!!!

^^^^ Someones gonna say they'd rather drive that. haha!
Jerked the smog crap off, headers, 2.5 inch exhaust, purple shaft, 4 bbl, LD4B. She did fine!

 

[318willrun]

I had a few Volare/Aspens. Liked them all. I like the looks of A-bodies better, but the F's had: Better handling/driving cars than A-bodies. All had large bolt pattern; All had disc brakes; All had adjustable height in the front without getting a front end alignment; 440's fit better in them than an A-body; Not hard to scrounge up bucket seats/console set up; easier to find an 8 3/4 rear to throw in them from a B-body, or even an E-body.

• I had a '78 Dodge Aspen R/T (black with orange/red stripes) with a 318/auto that we took from Illinois to Colorado on a vacation. It had cruise and A/C. It was a good trip!

 

[318willrun]

They make "tough look'n" cars when done right...

 

[harrisonm]

I like it. If it was close to me, it would probably be in my driveway now. Kansas doesn't have any smog inspections, so that would not be a factor. It isn't REAL pretty, but I'd drive it with pride!! And come to think of it. a stoked 408 would drop right in.....

 

[harrisonm]

What are "studded snow tires"? Heck, what are "snow tires". Double heck, what is "snow"?

Having lived in California for several years while in the AF, I like that remark.
