The Plymouth Volare isn’t a particularly remarkable car, but late last year on Bring A Trailer, someone paid $30,000 for this slab of absolute 1970s brown. ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES, DAMAGE TO THE FRONT WHEEL BRAKE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM COULD OCCUR DUE TO FRONT WHEEL BRAKE LINE TUBE CORROSION. The Plymouth Volare and its Dodge Aspen twin are historically important cars, even if for the wrong reasons. Plus, given their humdrum transportation role, relatively few survived, which could explain why someone paid $30,000 for this 1979 Volare sedan on Bring A Trailer. A pristine Plymouth Volare reminds us of how far we’ve come, and given its sheer rarity, maybe $30,000 is just the right price for it.
