Volare

The Volare, like the Dodge Aspen was sold from the 1976 through 1980 model years. The Volare overlapped the Valiant for one year, which it replaced. The platorm under it was Chrysler’s F-body. Wheelbase ranged from 108″ on coupes, to 112″ on sedans and wagons. Engines choices were varied from the 225 Slant 6, a 318 V8, or two and four barrel 360s. The “Roadrunner” package paid tribute to the Roadrunners of eras past. This was Plymouth’s answer to the Dodge Aspen R/T and the package got you striping, E70x14 raised letter tires, heavier suspension and even the same ‘beep beep’ horn of early Roadrunners. A ‘Super Roadrunner’ package was also available, which added an air dam, spoilers and unique stripes.

1980 was the Volare’s last model year run, and it received rectangular headlamps for its swan song.
