This fine piece of Canadian history spent the first 24 years of its life with the same owner, who passed away after driving it only 84,000km. Between the second owner and myself, we have increased that to 151,000km.
The car has a Super Six, 904 Automatic, all vinyl interor and the Special Edition package that included window chrome and the woodgrain trim.
This was my daily driver from September 2004 to September 2005, covering over 33,000km that year and is currently enjoying a long winter's nap in storage. All pictures are from 2005.
2007 was the first time in a little while that the car went any distance, and except for a little carburetor tuning that needs to be done at idle, the car ran flawlessly. Hopefully in 2008 much more driving will be done for a change, as it is a fun little old car to drive.

That is a very nice Aspen wagon, especially for Ontario! 5 Stars! Check out www.aspenrt.com the best forum on the web dedicated to F - J - M bodies, with a forum dedicated to each body style. It started with a focus on Aspen R/T and Volare Roadrunner, but the site is quickly expanding and needs members like you who are interested in these cars! See ya there!

Had a 77 Aspen wagon,for a while.With a 318.It was Special Edition.too,but had no woodie.It did,however,come with a factory installed trailer hitch and airshock suspension.Great cars.And ponycar station wagons don't get any better than these.The Super Six is plenty of power.If I had one,I'd be thinking about a carbeuretor EFI kit,to up the mpg's a little.Other than that,your car looks perfect.

Nice I like the muscle car era wagons, their bad ass! The aspen wagons make me think of the new magnums! Keep it clean.-Justin
