1978 Dodge Magnum XE review from North America
"Cool"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering valve body, cooling system and rear seal.
General comments?
If you're into these big Mopars you love them passionately. If not then you just don't "get it".
I had a 1975 Cordoba years ago and loved it. I am very excited to have the next best thing, my 78 Magnum. It has the 360 but has a Carter AFB instead of the 2 barrel it came with, the lean burn junk was taken off and replaced with a electronic ignition, it has a Edelbrock performer intake manifold and dual exhausts with dual cats! She runs like my Cordoba never did. I love this car.
