Need Help To ID This Mopar

Dago Red · 11-04-2010, 11:38 PM

Can anyone help identify the owner/operator of this division 3 '80 Aspen wagon super stock? He's become quite a hero to the gang on the F-body Mopar site. Not bad for what one magazine called "the worst car ever built".

I`ve never seen this car, but by checking my "Nitro Joe Stats" book, it is driven by a Dale Meers, and has run 11.3 with a 318.

You mean there's a web site devoted to them?

If memory is correct, that is Dale Meers out of Buffalo, Ky. IAt one time it belonged to Rick Fuller,and may still, just not sure.

You bet your sit down spot. We've even got a video of race Aspens/Volares in the works.........

That is Dale Meers at Bowling Green with big Tommy Mattingly standing behind him.

I miss my '80 Volare when I see cars like this.

I had an 4-door '80 Aspen slant-o-matic that I raced once when my Dart street/strip car was broken. The Aspen ran a "best" of 20.24 seconds !!!!!!!!!!!!! It was quite a ride!!!!!!! Would have made a great stocker with a 318 though.
