1978 Dodge Magnum XE review from North America
"The True Dodge Magnum!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much for being 30 years old. I replaced the belts, hoses, and tires. I had the car repainted a few years back. Motor all original with original transmission. The Magnum came with all the service notes from new.
General comments?
Has to be the “best looking” Magnum on the road today. Don't know why Dodge makes no reference to this classic Magnum when advertising the new Magnum. Kyle Petty made a name for himself early on while driving a Magnum. Dodge sold over 80K of these classics in two years while there was a fuel crisis going on. Not bad really. Search this car online and you will see what all the fuss is about.
