Wow . . .where did these cars go ?? Seems like they have vanished . . . Volare/Aspen (Road Runners, Aspen RT, Super Coupes, Kit Cars), Caravelle, Diplomat, Gran Fury, 80''s up Cordoba, Mirada, etc . . . how about a shout out for the forgotten cars !!

I’m trying!
Come to MCACN in Rosemont IL in November and see the Malaise Era display I’m getting together. Getting a lot of attention already.
We already have a cool group of often forgotten cars signed up but seeking some more. I’ve been trying to find someone with a nice Supercoupe to sign up! I could use a 80s car or 2, GLH Omni maybe?
It’ll be an interesting display, I can’t wait to see how it turns out.

i have a 82 cordoba and of course its missing the 1/4 panel pieces

Those corner pieces are reproduced but I hear they fit like crap.

They have never been forgotten, just more noticed now for the ones who want to profit off of them. Lots of sellouts but also lots of committed owners that wont forget the years of abuse from the "important" people that now want to ride that train. The cars have not changed but there values have. Why do you think its hard to find people interested in the mainstream mopar world to offer there cars up?

I've always been a fanatic of the F and M. I do like the J's too. I've owned one civi M and at least five AHB's. I only have one AHB now with stroked 360 and I use to have an A38/E58 Aspen which some are probably tired of hearing me praise. I will always own one of these. The later M's especially are pretty darn good cars. Good body integrity for the times, and the very last of a long lineage of T-bar front suspension, solid rear axle and leaf springs RWD cars from Ma Mopar!

I have had a all original 76 Road Runner - 318, 4spd OD - great driving car ! And a 80 Plymouth Caravelle (like the brochure I posted - Canada only cars!) . . . and again, it was a great driving car. By 78/79 Mopar got their crap together on the F bodies and they were pretty good machines. . . . but they were tainted from the 76/77 buckets they put out . . . And yeah, last of the t bar, rwd mopars . . . .

Beautiful ^

Yep, come '79/'80 the F bodies were much improved. My '80 A38 had obviously never seen a garage and had been beaten by Police use and driver training afterward and only had rust a bit of the typical rust bubbles around taillights and minor floor scale!

w/lightbar

Nice long old school flat hood

Unfortunately around here most of them rusted to the ground before they were 10 years old.

I have a decent 78 Volare at my shop. It's a fairly low miles Florida car.

I had an 87 Diplomat I ended up swapping a 360 and an A833 into. Swapped out the original 7 1/4 (2.26 gear) and rear suspension for a cop spec setup out of an 87 Gran Fury, 2.94 gear.

It ran much better, lol.

Mine still has the stock 8.25 with rear sway bar but now has 3.2 rear instead of stock 2.9 and I added a Mopar sure-grip

Dad's is the 80 S-Type with T's and mine is the Fifth. Been a father/son project going back years now.

Nice cars a12rag. The 1980-1981 M-body 2 doors are extremely rare.

Another neat M-body is the 1981-1982 Dodge Magnum. They were only sold in Mexico and were equipped with a 300 hp 360 V8.

Yeah, I really miss my 80 Caravelle . . . hopefully it is still running around Saskatchewan ! . . .

Great father/son project !! . . . love the t top 2door - major unicorn car !!! . . .

To the best of my knowledge Chrysler never made a 300 hp 360 in any country, magazine articles are typically FOS. So unless they can cough up some factory literature I'm going to call BS on this.

Not talking about the later 5.9 Magnums either.

My first brand new car was a '76 Volare`. 318, 4-spd OD, in 'Silver Cloud Poly', black bucket interior. Wish I had that car now.
