This 1978 Plymouth Volare station wagon is powered by 318ci V8 paired with a TorqueFlite three-speed automatic transmission, and it is finished in red over a red vinyl interior. Additional equipment includes a spark control computer, air conditioning, power steering, a roof rack, a rear air deflector, and an AM radio. The car is said to have been parked in a garage from 2000 until it was recommissioned for road use in 2021, after which it was purchased by the seller. Recent service has reportedly included an oil change, brake inspection, replacement of the battery, and fluid top-offs. This Volare wagon is offered at no reserve with a branded California title in the seller’s name.
The exterior is finished in Tapestry Red Sunfire Metallic and features a roof rack, a rear air deflector, a top-hinged rear hatch, and chrome bumpers and side mirrors. The seller notes that there is a ding on the hood and scratches on the driver’s door.
Steel 14″ wheels wear full covers and are wrapped in 205/75 Goodyear Decathlon thin-whitewall tires. Braking is supplied by power-assisted front discs and rear drums.
The cabin features seats upholstered in red vinyl along with a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Equipment includes an AM radio, a folding rear seat, and air conditioning. The seller notes a tear in the carpet in the passenger-side front footwell.
The red two-spoke steering wheel frames instrumentation consisting of a 100-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 31k miles.
The 318ci V8 was factory rated at 230 horsepower and is equipped with a two-barrel carburetor and an electronic ignition system with a spark control computer. The seller states that service in October 2021 included an oil change, replacement of the battery, and fluid top-offs.
Power is directed to the rear wheels through a three-speed Torqueflite automatic transmission. Corrosion is visible on underside components.
The California title is branded “salvaged.”
