The slant 6 was the best Volare, for my gf at the time anyway, for a college commuter. It had enough power and got good gas mileage. The v8 versions were nothing to brag about as muscle cars, the old Valiants were better. But, in their day I thought the Volare was a good looking car. I had a hot blue eyed blonde friend in town ~1979 that drove a dark metallic blue Volare with white vinyl top and white interior. It was like Farrah Fawcett pulling up with a big smile every time. I never did get a chance to date her.
