1979 Dodge Aspen review from North America
"The engine is built to run forever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The brakes have failed twice because the master cylinder was bad.
Cracked fuel line at the gas tank.
General comments?
This car is great for a first car.
I painted it red with black stripes and put on some Cragar Street Star mag wheels. Added a spoiler from a 1992 Firebird and bucket seats from a 1996 Mustang. My dad made a custom front spoiler to really set the car off.
This car just looks fast, however it can be out run by a stock Honda.
