When I was a kid, a teenage neighbor was part of a scam that netted him a low mileage Volare Pursuit Police Car for the opening bid at our county auction. With a slightly tuned E58 and full Blues Brothers spec, it was the fastest car driven by a juvenile delinquent for miles around.
If someone restored one like that, I might be able to see the asking price as a place to start negotiations. Car is far from loaded with options.
Vinyl top on this was added later, not a factory top. A shame, it would look so much better without it. Great car, sorry I sold it. Love the car. Gosh, your right! I thought I only remembered those awful opera windows with the vinyl. I owned a model and loved it. It was a great car for what it is and cheap to run. My Volare 4-door was indestructible. It was in the family for 23 years and would start in any weather.
Even ran it at the drag strip a few times and would always come back for more. The Special Edition as shown in the brochure picture had a different vinyl top. This one has the base factory vinyl top. These cars were rushed into production without full development, which is why they failed. By the time the problems were corrected, it was too late. This one is nice, and were it a true SE, I might be tempted!
I did have a Aspen SE like that brochure photo, same color and trim outside and same color interior as the one for sale. It was a good car , had enough power for an everyday car , and was comfortable for a tall guy like me. The 78 models were superior to the early ones as many things like the rusting fenders were changed. I had a 78 Volare as well, both lasted well over 10 years and k in New England , which is saying something!
I like it but its in my programming as my folks rolled a Aspen wagon in the same color combo, but yes a wagon. Fully loaded? Nicely equipped? Optional Magnum wheels. Special Edition trim inside and out separate options and the halo style vinyl roof is factory installed. Had a , but no posi rear end. Ran fast.
But bad in winter in upstate NY. To light in rear end. Had to sell as not a winter car. Was my 1st new car. Worked at Johnstown NY P. Mayor had them painted purple and gold. The High School championship team colors. Looked like a rolling Easter Basket! Nothing funnier than a Lb cop looking like he just pinched the Easter Bunnies ride!
I had an uncle who owned the house I grew up in. The same house my Mom was raised in, but uncle Rim as we called him never married, never worked for anyone but himself and was quite the character whom I have not enough room to describe. But I remember he had a 64 Valiant Wagon, he used daily, plus used to transport the beagle hounds he raised to hunt rabbits with. He had bought it new, actually ordered it exactly like he wanted, in black, with HD vinyl seats and nice chrome roof rack.
Plus a factory tow package with a hitch and sure grip axle. I remember him running around in that wagon till , with over , miles on it when he finally sold it to a man in the beagle club.
But the his wagon had a deeper rumble of sound serving Uncle Rim right up to , with over , miles of basically trouble free service of heavy duty daily service!
Plymouth's Volare Street Kit Car appeared in , a confused time for high-performance cars in the United States, which helps explain its obscurity today. Drivers by then had accepted that muscle cars' successors combined struggling, emissions-controlled engines with visuals believed to imply speed.
In that atmosphere, the Street Kit Car wasn't bad. Introduced in to replace the Valiant, the Volare--like its twin, the Dodge Aspen, which replaced the Dart--was at the time a small car.
The coupe rode on a The Volare Super Coupe was a performance package that used the V8 and emphasized handling via better suspension, tires and wheels but included flares, spoilers and matte-black paint.
Plymouth built just copies, but the Street Kit Car proved even less popular. It differed from the Super Coupe mostly in cosmetics and included bolts in the flares, hood pins, chrome, windshield clips and rear-window retainers.
