Saw a 77 plymouth volare wagon on ebay. Starting bid is 20 grand ? That sounds a bit insane to me.
If i had serious coin i would go after a legit mopar muscle car, a wagon would still be cool, but, not for 20k.Yeah, I don't know why but people are asking crazy money for them. I don't know if they are getting it though.

Nice barn find. Nice barn too.
I think it was more so it didn’t look so dated. The Ford Fairmont and Chevy Nova had similar. The Nova like the Volare was a one year only, 1979. The round sealed beam headlights were used on trucks into the 90’s. And Chrysler put them into Jeeps as late as this 1997 model.Sorry but that 80 square headlight front end works for later cars but looks like a oh **** we can't get round headlights so lets screw up this design.
I think motor trend or hot rod tv did an episode on the Volare RRs and Aspen R/Ts that said that they were the fastest American cars of the mid 70s. Faster than the corvettes and firebirds. Interesting fact, Chrysler thought that there would never be dual exhaust cars again so the F-Body was designed with an offset gas tank. The 360 cars have dual exhaust back to the muffler then its a single 3” pipe past the gas tank.Yeah… I like the 1980. Last year for the 360/727. I saw a road runner for sale once but it was a /6. I can’t imagine too many of the Sport Wagon or road runner with the 360 were made. I read it was quicker than the 1980 Corvette L82 in the 1/4 mile. The Vette obviously would out top speed it.View attachment 1346841
Edit… the 360 was dropped from the F bodies for 1980. I think the article I read about the 360/727 in 1980 was the J bodies, Cordoba and Mirada. The cops could still get the E58 360/727.

I have 2006 and 2021 Wranglers with round sealed beams.I think it was more so it didn’t look so dated. The Ford Fairmont and Chevy Nova had similar.
