Used Car of the Day: 1978 Dodge Ram Charger
Today's UCOTD is a 1978 Dodge Ram Charger that runs, has some rust, needs to be restored, and will set you back $7,000.
That's about all the ad copy tells us -- we also know it has a 360 with a four-barrel carb and four-wheel drive.
So, give it a look here and see if the pictures intrigue you enough to get you to inquire further.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

This was awesome, in 1978. Now, it's very much obsolete - thirsty, slow, ponderous, noisy, rough, and dated design even in its time. Still, someone who wants to recreate some distant memories will buy it and restore it and enjoy it, and the seller just has to find that particular individual.
Grille must have replaced with after market, no name on it and park lights are from 77 model. 78 went to amber colored
