A few things we love, rare options and configurations. This 1978
Dodge Magnum GT seemingly has it all, which is to say it has a
T-top roof option along with the 400 cubic inch V8, automatic
transmission and silver-on-black color scheme. The big body coupe
hails from an interesting time when personal luxury coupes were a
must-have in any domestic lineup along with welcoming any
associations with NASCAR it could muster. The Magnum achieved both
of these requirements, offering a spacious interior wrapped in a
muscular shell, while also providing a more aerodynamic shape to
make it a worthwhile entry into NASCAR where wind resistance was a
major consideration. This Magnum edges closer to the sportier side
of the equation thanks to its optional T-top roof and "GT" package
- short for Gran Torino - added fender flares, 15 inch tires with
7-inch-wide Magnum Road wheels, "Firm-Feel Steering," heavy-duty
suspension and special stripes. Factory am/fm /cb radio. Cruise
control (non-working). All of these details appear to still be
present, along with nicely preserved chrome bumpers and appears to
be older repainted Silver metallic paint. Bucket seat interior
appears to be all original and Odometer shows 83,xxx believed
actual miles. The small opera windows behind the front side glass
gave rear passengers a window on the world, while the T-top roof
obviously let plenty of light in for everyone else. Just 861
GT-spec cars were produced in 1978. To me, this is a dirt-cheap
entry into owning one of the rarer Mopars made and in the sort of
condition that very few Magnums remain in today. Why buy from us?
We are one of the oldest and largest Midwest dealers who
specializes in collector cars, modern muscle cars and imports. We
normally have 40-90 collector cars in stock. All of our cars are
handpicked purchases, not consignments, that have been evaluated
for quality, value and checked over in our shop to assure
drivability. These cars are available to look over, test drive and
evaluate at our location, by appointment only, due to the extensive
amount of travel it takes to find these vehicles. People frequently
buy collector cars at auctions and have no idea what they are
getting, often regretting the purchase due to issues of condition,
drivability, paperwork, etc. We have 45+ years' experience in the
automotive industry and can guide our customers through the
complete purchase experience including shipping if needed. We will
