1979 Dodge Aspen SE review from North America
"Indestructible, rusted out, powerless tank"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear drivers side brake line broke.
The power steering pump seized up.
Radiator tanks and cores leaked.
General comments?
I love this car. It's indestructible, but needs a lot of body work. It's rusting out like crazy. It's been hit by a Ford truck, a couple hundred deer, among other small mammals.
