Many of these left? Phone overheated and cut off before the end. Sorry!

In the beginning, it was Mopar's answer to the Granada!

There were two kinds of "Spark Control Computers" in that era; the original (analog???) type and the later digital type. The latter digital type was highly susceptible to electromagnetic interference and would not work on a car with solid core spark plug wires. Never mind why I know this. ALSO that lean burn setup didn't run right at low power levels, delivering terrible fuel economy at 55mph in a 55mph era. Get it out where you can kick it up to 85+ mph, and be amazed at the fabulous economy and acceptable engine performance with a 318 that seems to have valve timing, carburetor tuning and ignition parameters that work good at higher speeds. Almost magnificent.

My family had on of these, same year and color. I decided to drive my girlfriend around the block when no one was home in 81, and almost crashed the whole time. Parked it and never touched it again. I was 14yrs...

That's a really beautiful Aspen. I've got a soft spot for Mopar F-bodies as I grew up with one in our family. It does look restored, though, as that paint in no way looks like a 70s factory paint. I know, I had a perfect 77 Volare up till a couple of years ago. I bought it in 2003 and the original paint was immaculate, but didn't look so new like this Aspen. Also the radio in the dash seems to be from a 90s Mopar (probably the LH cars), so that's definitely not original.

It could be original paint if always garaged with a quality detail, or a very nice quality repaint. I think 95% of us would not have known about the radio. Do you buy and collect or restore Mopars? I like the fact it presents so nicely. Thank you for watching!

@@cousinjohncarstuff4568 I used to always have at least one Aspen or Volare at any given time, but unfortunately I don't own one anymore. About the radio, F-bodies came with three types of radio from the factory: AM only, AM/FM, and AM/FM with 8-track tape player. They were never offered with a cassette player radio.

Has a 78 Aspen (New) with lean burn 318. Best I could get was 10 mpg and performance was terrible. Rusted out in 2 years.

I had a 1978 Plymouth Fury which was a heavier car that had the 318 and got 12 MPG

The "factory" radio, not the one stashed in the glove box, doesn't appear to be original. I don't think a digital frequency readout radio was offered for the Aspen in 1978. Too advanced for the time period...

Ah! Now I get it! Not being very well versed in mopars, I was thinking it was factory original. Always learnibg something new.

I worked in a stereo shop so I ordered mine without a radio then put in a Pioneer "Supertuner" in dash with cassette.
