I just bought my first station wagon tonight, super excited about it, replaced my 93 Nissan pathfinder with a 1978 Plymouth Volare, sure its nothing special and to me its no 9 passenger Plymouth fury, but I'm still excited. 1978 Plymouth Volare super slant six 3 spd. 904... i believe original red interior 3rd owner with 153,000 kilometers.

Yeah, they were a nice ride. Tried to buy a new one, at 8:30 PM at night and the salesman told me it was too cold and to come back the next day. I bought a new Fairmont Futura wagon across the street and never went back to Mopar. Welcome aboard. Here's the pics upload info. You're gonna need it. Can't keep a nice wagon under wraps here. http://www.stationwagonforums.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=19
from the rock I've owned 2 Volarie wagons in the past, both with the slant, great cars! Pics, lets see the beast:2_thumbs_up_-_anima
Hmmm? Lets see 440,727? No, how about a late model hemi with overdrive?Well I was just thinkin.Volares make good hot rods.
Kicky, Jes remember: ADD HORSES=SUBTRACT MPG Ask me how I know this I'm workin' on ah "Hampster belt" fer the Batwagon 'cuz carrots iz cheap fuel:2_thumbs_up_-_anima
welcome to the forum hope you enjoy your new car...not sure I like the crack about the SUV...I love my Jimmy
I will add the Horses and Subtract the MPG in my 71 Dart Swinger this wagon will most likely stay a cruiser with the slant... I'll put my wagon in the garage when I get some pics!
Sorry to be the "GIRL" in the group...but when you say "you can hot rod those too". Do you mean HUGE PIPES AND EXTRA CARBS AND THINGS coming out of the engine or are you talking about a couple of mods to increase hp and performance? I would like to do this to Fannie the hp and performance part...and maybe a touch of CHROME love the chrome. So are these adjustment done to the engine only or to the transmission too? I'm not going to be draggin her (don't need whiplash fast) but hope to be driving her regularly in the summer months and don't have a problem putting a few cars behind me on the HWY, you know, the WOW I wasn't expecting that, kinda fast. Maybe the answers are in a manual somewhere. My hubby is a pretty handy backyard machanic...maybe he knows this stuff...but I don't know...:confused: Anyway what kind of things should I be thing about doing? THE GIRL
LMAO at fannie! I will defer to Andy on this issue but I can tell you that in my years of cardom I have made in line 6's go very well. In fact, I like to make them go. Yes, you can make it go much better, fannie, for, comparatively, little money.
http://www.slantsix.org/ These guys will have plenty of go fast advice. Fannie, the camshaft creates most of the "character" of the engine. I consider a camshaft swap to be at the core of most hot-rodding. Any other improvements in fuel, spark, and airflow are usually designed to get the most out of the cam.
