Vehicle Description
Style, rarity, and affordability all combine on this 1979 Dodge
Magnum XE. So as you look over everything from the V8 power to the
A/C interior, you'll discover a cool coupe that knows how to stand
out.
This was the first series that ever used the Magnum model name, and
this does a great job of conveying the premium and forceful image
the title carries. After all, it has the long hood and crisp design
that instantly announced this was a personal coupe made to own the
road. Plus, those retractable translucent headlight covers were a
finishing touch that looked like they were pure style. And while
these were a signature piece, their true purpose was to help cheat
the wind for NASCAR races - just like the Dodge Charger Daytona a
decade prior. And just like those special Chargers, these first-gen
Magnums have rarity on their side, too, with production lasting
only two model years. This example is presented in its
factory-correct Sable Tan Sunfire Metallic. It's an older respray
that's good for a driver's classic, but those wanting more of a
stunner may use the value price to invest in some upgrades. Of
course, it already comes with distinction with a refined style seen
in details like the opera windows and the way the grille subtly
continues under the headlights and around the side. And the tan
half vinyl top coordinates with the pinstripes for a pure vintage
cool appearance.
The full tan interior is a well-preserved time capsule. So it loves
to impress, right down to details like the AM/FM radio with
8-track, trim buckles in the seats, and the courtesy lights that
greet you when you open the door. This has the size that you can
easily share it all with family and friends. And everyone will
happily go for a ride in this luxury coupe that has features like
cold-blowing air conditioning. But even when you're just going
solo, this Magnum is terrific. You have the individual comfort of a
fold-down armrest to give you bucket-like comfort, and your seat
power adjusts to the ideal position. All the controls are built
around you, and it feels great with a three-spoke steering wheel
and full readouts with large speedo and tach. You even have
features you don't find on many 1970s machines, like cruise
control.
In a coupe this vintage so far, it's great to see such an honest
and correct engine bay. This 318 cubic-inch V8 is great for torque,
which gets you off the line with confidence. And this one runs
smoothly as a well-engineered Mopar should. Plus, you have all the
right easy cruising features with the Torqueflite A727 three-speed
automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes w/discs up
front.
When you have a rare coupe loaded with features, it makes for all
the best kinds of vintage distinction. So when it's also offered at
a value price, you know this is a deal that will be moving soon.
