Super coupes were only made in '78 and they never looked like an SE. Why do people not take the time to know what they are selling? first two are of what he is selling last one is a super coupe. Sorry rant over

Looks like a parts car for a street rod to me. :snakeman: sorry I couldn't help it.:bootysha:
 
Looks like it has a great k member for my '52 wagon.

Here is the best part about this "super rare" super coupe.

rare 79 dodge aspen super coupe has rebuilt 904 w/transco shift kit 318 cid with elderbrock carb n intake new exhuast with flowmaster mufflers.has b&m star shifter grant steering wheel brand new tires n wheels keystone classics with bf goodrich tires 50 series on rear n 60s on front.this car is very rare n only serious inquires can negotiate a lil on the price

I bought my '78 for 50 bucks, SE's aren't worth much except a doner for a decent shell, or interior or a doner for a kmember.
 
LOL call him up and ask how much to come over with a sawzall and cut the front suspension out of it.
 
Shame you couldn't get a Super Coupe or a Petty Kit Car with a stick:angry7:
 
Hey I got a response when I emailed him. Here it is, bad spelling and all. (Yes I know I can't spell either)


Hey Rod,
it is a 79 SE with glass t-tops i have tried to find info on it but when i do it refers it as a super coupe i was thinking because it is a 2 door coupe n i myself have never seen one except for the one i have.I do know its a f body n imknow its rare in this model i do know they made a rt to with glass t-tops.I also know it is what the roadrunner style body went to between 77 n 8o.If have more info on it i sure would aperciate thanks for the reply.Bryan

Mine back, am I too nice?

It looks like a plain jane '79 se with t-tops, the t-tops a fairly rare but most of the time they leak or are cracked. Aspen SE's are only worth about 2k in really nice shape and you will most likely have a hard time selling it for that much. The body style was first introduced in '76 to replace the A body platform and was continued until '80. The FMJ bodies have a k member with transverse t bars and are valued to hot roders as a drop in unit for disk brakes. The pics are of a super coupe which was a one year only option ('78).
-Ross-

If he writes back I will ask him if he minds if I bring a sawzall over. It only takes two cuts and the k member drops right out, '52 T&C it's your lucky day.
 
I got another one back from him,

Hey Rod
Thanks for the info the t-tops on mine r in excellent condition no cracks or leaksn all the runin gear in this car came out of 67 dodge dart the rear end has a factory locker in it wich also came out of the same dart. Every thing bolted rite up to it.As for the 318cid its mildy built with a crane cam shaft n rockers also a new elderbrock intake with a elderbrock 600cfm4 barrel carb n a crane double roller timing chain. Ihave also installed a be cool radiator. The 904 tranny has ben rebuilt with a transco shift kit atached to B&M star shifter with lock out reverse so its more then a plain jane 79 se.Also i have installed dual exhaust with 2inch pipe n 40ty series flow master mufflers.The suspension on the front has ben rebuilt with all new polyurethane bushings n new upper n lower ball joints both sides so u can c why i am askin 4200 for it lol plain or not this car rocks Thanks for ur reply Rod n ur info was very helpful o n i do have the original dealer catalog for this car ur friend n mopar enthueisit Bryan

It is really hard to read, and my name isn't rod but o well. They are fun cars but they aren't worth that much, Yet.
 
YOU MEAN ! NOT A ASPEN ? Ha ha ha
I was told a long time ago too look both ways before crossing the street
because a chevy or a ford might run you over cause we were MOPAR
people ! I said no way cause mopars move to fast for them!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
He-she sounds like a decent person though, At least you got a reply and a thankyou for the info. It sounds like there may be some sentimental attachment to the car. Maybe that's why they are asking so much. Almost everyone knows that you never get the full value of the mods you do. I hope it works out for them though.

My thoughts exactly, just goes to show you can't judge a book by its cover.
 
Come on guys, be nice. He is obviously proud of his car, the asking price indicates that. If I could find one in that good of shape around here with everything he has done to it, I would cabbage onto it. I love the aspens myself. It was Chryslers last attempt at a muscle car. My uncle has a aspen R/T that he will not part with & I would love to get my hands on one for when the duster is done. (in the year 2025). ;)
 
Ask him how the 67 Dart rear bolted in because they do no interchange he's bsing or it's a fudged together car.
 
Did I say I'd buy that Super Coupe for 4 grand?

NO?

I should have:-D
 
..on this issue. The car looks nice. He is mistaken as to what it exactly is. Happens everyday but like some have done here they have tried to educate him in a polite manner. Good on ya. F bodies are on the verge of coming into their day. First the E's then the B's now the A's and next to come will be the F's. Look at it through these eyes and with the price of a new cracker box built in Kungfu, Japan or Korea at a $25000 price tag, that will bring scrap price in 10 yrs, makes very good sense to cabage onto a early model mopar that will escalate in value rather than go down in the years to come. That said, i have a field full of mopars knowing they are good property and today i bought a 76 Volare Roadrunner that i just couldn't see get crushed. I've decided to bring it back and totally redo it and give it to my son when he graduates from college this next spring. It is a dual fender tag sunroof 360 auto console car. I could part it out and get a good return on my $500 i spent on it but it's a good project. Did i say i love MOPARS? I'll get Vic Storm to post pics. This is just food for thought.

I will tell you, it is POSSIBLE to put a A Body 8 3/4 in a F body car. I took one out and now have the 3rd member in my Dart and the housing sitting in the barn with the axles.

The guy had put a 400 in the car then blew the rear end in the car. Had an 8 3/4" rear end installed but then had to buy different Cragers to fit. They pulled the springs in to fit the A Body perches. He told me he wanted the right rearend so the springs were not pulled in.

I got the rear end and cragers for swapping the rearend to the correct Aspen/Volare rearend. I got one out of a station wagon and cost me $110.00 and a few hours labor, traded the deep dish small bolt pattern wheels for a set of shallow SBP

Was it the right thing to do, NO, but it can and HAS BEEN DONE.

Since I bought a New 1977 Aspen with T Top I would liek to have this car. I think it looks pretty good and would make a good car to restore/modify.

Is it over priced? Old Cars Price Guide shows from $5200 for #1 to $624 for # 6 about $2,400 for average.

It does not give options that would increase the value, but for someone like me that bought one new it would be worth more if I wanted another since it is a T Top car. And yes they cracked and leaked. i had both mine replaced under warranty and would have fine snow come in when driven in the winter, and water leak on your leg when raining

Now if it was a 77 Aspen Custom, midnight blue with black top and interior, I might have to buy it. I ordered mine with almost every available option, 360, auto, cruise, tilt, console, posi, fold down seat, T Tops, power windows, locks and seat
 
The rear will fit, I gave a "friend" the 8 1/4 from my aspen, to put in his dart, it worked but wasn't the best solution. The '68 b body 8 3/4 fits great and with e-body xhd rear leafs the iso crap is gone. Like I said before these cars can handle great! I love my '77 aspen r/t clone and since it was my first mopar I think it is my favorite. When I got the car I hated it but it was a plan jane '78 se, after 18k it is a amazing car and I am excited for paint. The F bodies also are a looker and when I was driving it I would get more complements then I do in my '68 Newport. A lot of chevy guys would ask what year nova and I would smile and say its a mopar.:cheers::thebirdm:
A few of my R/T before I sent it off to body jail, 2 years. I was one of the first to put a cowl induction on an F body and now I have seen a few others.
