1976 Plymouth Volare review from North America
"Bullet proof!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
This was my first car!
Hahaha, ol Yeller as it was this puke yellow color, but this car was solid.
These motors were bullet proof. The good ol slant 6 that ran forever.
What can I say? It was fun.
My father gave me this car when I was in high school, as before had been our family car. He worked for a propane company, and converted this one to run on both gasoline and propane, since he was paying 32 cents a gallon for propane in the 80's. Needless to say you know what fuel we mostly ran it on.
I replaced the motor at around 220000 with a wrecking yard motor. Quite the experience. Then traded it in on a newer Pontiac Sunbird Convertible. Great car though.
