Kristen, thank you for taking your own photos for this review instead of just using the manufacturer photos!

Thanks for this, I couldn’t remember the name of the Super Coupe. My dad was a Chry-Ply dealer then, and me at the ripe old age of 16 drove all those. As my dad called it, the Stupid Coupe, I thought was so cool with the flat black on the hood and texture on the wheels.

Riiiight.

Random Volaré memory: summer of ‘77 my tiny grandmother was driving me into Chicago and my hampster got loose in the car. She didn’t like driving in heavy traffic. “Would you climb up here and catch your hampster, please? He is under my feet, and this is very dangerous.” She was a remarkably restrained and patient…

That I don’t remember. He got rid of the thing before I could drive, but he complained about both of them for a decade afterwards.

Didn’t the leaning tower of power have stupid-deep gearing? Iirc, my grandparents’ Volaré wasn’t very happy much above the double-nickel: at 70 it was about wound tight and pretty noisy

Interesting.

This one has been out autocrossing with us the past few months in Austin and San Antonio...

Ha ha, well then good luck. I think I’d paint it like Kurt’s shirt and put dirty yellow shag on the roof.

And a blah car that’s tarted up with a “NASCAR look” continues as a marketing trend for Dodge in the 21st-century.

0-60 in 7 seconds is waaay faster than what I would have guessed and very quick for the mid 70's. Also, many vaunted muscle cars from the Golden Era weren’t much quicker than that. It’s hard to see that when minivans and Camrys have 300 hp nowadays.

True, a lot of those late smog Corvettes just get built 383 strokers swapped in. It’s cool to see them making good power either way, as I love the way the late C3's look with the bubble window in the rear.

How true. My high school girlfriend’s dad loved tinkering with motors and hated smog equipment. We were driving back from some formal dinner one night with her at the wheel of her father’s tan, 4 door, 318 powered Aspen one night, she driving in a poofy dress, me in a powder blue tux, when a couple of guys in one of…

The best part about all those smog-choked muscle cars is how easy it is to make them pretty potent. Remove all the smog stuff, put an EFI conversion on it, throw on some hotter heads and a cam, and you can easily push that little 360 to a much more respectable 400hp. Or swap in a 400/440 for even more fun. There’s a…

This one i saw recently lives in the UK and was in Saving Private Ryan.

Could be even better, when I was a kid I saw one of these driving down the road. My dad pointed it out and told me about the guy whom he had met before. Can’t recall much, but my dad told me he regularly drove it around town, I saw it twice, once was just that time driving down the road, the next it was parked in…

I think Doug has done a pretty good job of turning an entire website community off of Hummers.

This would be quite a grocery getter.
