Ever Seen A Better One? 1976 Dodge Aspen SE
(http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/u1.jpg)
Even if you don't like Dodge Aspens, you just have to admire the condition of this car! This 1976 Aspen SE appears to have only covered 27,671 miles and I'm not sure it could look any better in what I believe to be its original butterscotch-colored paint. It's located in Lakeland, Florida and is listed for sale here on eBay. Right now bidding is starting at $5,000, but there's a reserve that hasn't been met yet

Honestly, can you see this picture in your mind in the 1976 Aspen brochure? I sure can. That paint looks great. The ad does not state that it is original, but I can't see any signs of a respray in the pictures, so either I missed it, it's a very high quality repaint or it really is the original paint. What do you think?

The interior looks factory new as well. Those air conditioning vents blow cold too! Just look at how perfect that dash pad is. And I'm guessing the misalignment of the glove box door came that way from the factory.

I like the seats a lot. They are original as well, or at least the original pattern. I'm sitting here thinking this would be a really nice daily driver, although it would be a shame to do that to such a low mileage car. Of course, cars are made to drive, right?

Go ahead. Try to find a nicer stock engine compartment than this one! Holy cow, this looks nice. I can believe the low mileage claim, although it's undoubtedly helped in this case by one heck of a detailing job. With shiny paint, shiny chrome, a vinyl top in perfect shape and nothing at all that I can see wrong, is this the classic that will bring back memories of your youth? Or would you drive it like I'd like to, just for the attention?

That's pretty sweet.

The condition looks great, inside and out. And that color is pretty neat.
I'm glad that some of these survive. Even a bad car deserves some love.
You need someone to go pick it up for you?
Pretty amazing if it's all original.
I suspect this is from a deale in Lakeland that also does a lot of other '70s cars; especially Lincolns.
Edit; doesn't show up in his inventory, but there's plenty here to keep Wimmer occupied

Presmog heads, an Eddy 500 carburetor and a better timing curve would give the little V8 some power. But it's a '76- still has to pass smog in CA. So no.

Not anywhere else though.

Yes please. And while you're at it throw in a '74 Dodge Monaco. I'm sure you have an extra $200 lying around to spare for one of those! :praise:

If I had the cash and the storage space I would love to have one of these (although the sedans and wagons look better, IMO) and a '74 Monaco.
This chick sure digs her Aspen! :lol:

Lol.
Nice proper year Michigan plate on the front there.
I'm also digging the house. Surprised she's driving an Aspen and not a more appropriate...

Is ^that^ a standard feature inside the glove box of a 1974 Monaco? :lol:
