1978 Plymouth Volare

1978 Plymouth Volare Street Kit Car Survivor with 22900 original miles. One of approximately 250 produced for one year only. a 360 V8 with 727 automatic transmission. the Street Kit Car came with NASCAR-inspired options such as front air dam, rear adjustable spoiler, windshield and back glass holddowns, wheel flares, hood pins (fake), two-tone paint, and large graphics as a tribute to Richard Petty. The original owner did not wish for the large "43" graphics to be installed, so they are still in the boxes in the trunk. Driven daily for 2 years then put away, the car still has a 1980 inspection sticker. All documents from original purchase are present, including window sticker, advance dealer shipping notice, dealer pre-delivery inspection, owner's manual, and sales brochure. This vehicle has 90% original paint, interior, tires, belts, and hoses. The spark control computer, fuel pump, and starter relay are the only items that have been replaced. The vehicle is still driven occasionally, and everything still works except the A/C, which could possibly be charged and made operational.
Because this vehicle was driven, it does have a few dings here and there. The muffler is original and needs to be replaced. Typical of late 70's Chrysler vehicles, the fit and finish of the body panels is fair at best. The passenger door was evidently scratched and repainted early in its life, but the overall condition of the paint is very good and the dark blue metallic really pops in sunlight. The underside is original with original shocks, brake hoses, etc., and typical of the era, the cosmoline protection of the suspension components was thin, leading to surface scale on the bare metal components. As seen in the pics, three of the wheel flares have developed cracks, which is common for these models.
Good luck bidding on this rare vehicle!
