My parents had a Dodge Aspen that was almost identical to that Volare right down to the rear window covers. The main difference was that my parents’ car had the 318 instead of the six. If this car is anything like that car burning it would be the only smart thing to do.

Daily the Buick

Track the Volare

Weekend the Matador

Rally the Cordoba (even though it’s not equipped with soft Corinthian leather).

I didn’t even notice that it was a slant six. It’d need a 318/340/360 swap.

The Cordoba looks too nice to rally. Besides the AMC is already mud colored.

DD the AMC, weekend the Cordoba until it breaks (grandad had one new, was a POS), Track the Buick, rally the Plymouth

I’m not sure the AMC is reliable and common enough of a platform to rally.

Hey now. I’m no fan of a lot of 70's-80's junk, but these 4 are pretty neat.

Not necessarily how the game works, but good choices.

Ehhh... Saying they're neat is about all they are, and the volare and matador are 110% hideous. Buick at least looks decent but the trade off is malaise era GM engineering.

The most daring of DD choices, I respect that.

gimmie dat Buick

The Buick is a GNX (turbo 3.8) in disguise. I quite like the Volare in a Mustang II King Cobra kind of way. The Matador is ugly, but unique.

DD the AMC.

It’s scary clean for that era. I love that it’s basically a more subdued T-Type/GNX.

You’re broken. The Buick is the best one.

DD the Cordoba

Track the LeSabre

Weekend the Matador

Rally the Volare

I love all of these and have wanted a Chrysler F body for a long time.

Available with a 360 V8 and a 4 speed, coupes started out at about 3200 lbs.

I’m not broken, I’m just slightly scratched & bent.

I was torn between the Cordoba and Buick for DD. The Volare is definitely cool in a Mustang II King Cobra way. A built 360 in the Volare would be pretty cool (it’s only a slant six).

Just like the AMC. It makes perfect sense now, carry on :)

I need that so badly. In 77 the Aspen with the 360 was faster to 60 than a Corvette or Trans Am. But nobody remembers them.

No idea why (maybe it’s the great photography) but I have a strange need for that LeSabre right now. Great color, excellent condition, but I still wouldn’t pay 15K for a ‘70s GM product even if it is GNX underneath.

$7-11k and I’d be all about it. $15k is a hair much. I want it desperately.

That Buick is a collector. I’d rock it. Makes me yearn for my ‘78 Olds Regency.

Late ‘70s and ‘80s car prices are skyrocketing for clean examples. Many young professionals who are starting to accumulate disposable income grew up in cars from this era, myself included.

I’ve been itching for an 82-85 Buick Riviera....

That's gonna leave a mark! > Amoore100 04/18/2016 at 06:46

With ya there. Not normally a big fan of 70's oversize cars. Don’t like it enough though to pay that price. You need to be a really dedicated fan to pay that price.

that volare is pretty sweet, i didn’t read the craiglist for it but a nice fresh 360 in that or some RV engine with cam would make for a sick ride.

It’s a slant 6 so a 318/340/360 would be in order.

the Buick: track, image that lowered a bit, with some meaty tires at all four corners, with some front and rear spoilers.

Volare: Rally, it just looks like it’s meant for it.

AMC: DD, it looks so odd, and the seats look so couchy, how could you not want to drive it every day

Chrysler: Weekend, style like that is meant for Saturday nights

You get it.

I do like the subdued look of the Buick though. It’d make a hell of a sleeper.
