Is there such a thing? A Mopar that hasn't skyrocketed but is still cool in your opinion. It can be a Mopar that needs an engine swap as long as it isn't a big deal.
Yeah.. 62-65s you can still get surprisingly good deals on.. although i would stick to 63-65.. 62s have some weird stuff and parts are very hard to findThere have been some decent 62-65's on this site seemingly not sell at decent prices lately. Some bargains perhaps
I"m not sure which body designation aspens fall into but over the last few years really kinda started liking them, but rarely see any for sale. Needs to be minitubbed and sitting right thoughYep, almost the same as it ever was-
75-79 B
F/M/J
Pre-1964 A body and certain 65-75

As an investment? I doubt it... i think we will start seeing prices of even really desirable cars start dropping bad in the next 10 years.. a lot of car guys are already dying off and younger gens don't care enough to prop up the hobby/prices.. just my view on it thoughI saw a guy at Carlisle last year with a 1978 (?) Volare Road Runner. He had swapped a Hellcat engine into it, and had done a super clean, nice job with it. I'm sure it surprises a lot of cars as it leaves them in the dust!
Point is, with an engine swap, I wonder if these will start appreciating because they look the part of a muscle car. With a Gen 3 Hemi they might be a desirable car?

Well let me think about it.I saw a guy at Carlisle last year with a 1978 (?) Volare Road Runner. He had swapped a Hellcat engine into it, and had done a super clean, nice job with it. I'm sure it surprises a lot of cars as it leaves them in the dust!

I feel the same way bout almost anything after 1972 (even cuda/challenger... bad grill/taillights) but this one changed my mind on volare/aspen.. problem is they only look good setup for racing.. I know hes a member here..There is a reason the term "Malaise Era" is used and it's not likely the negative moniker will ever be shaken off.
