My aunt and uncle bought a brand new Volare Premier wagon in Connecticut in 1976(?). I swear that all the sheet metal surrounding the gas cap was gone by 1979. I can't imagine how this car has survived.

In reply to Woody :

The '76 had serious rust issues, but it was pretty well sorted by 1978.

I usually get $250-300 for the Super Six setup by itself.

What makes it a Super Six?

Super Six is a factory two barrel intake setup instead of the single barrel.  Something like 10 HP added by this vs. the single.  Also a slightly  larger exhaust pipe setup.  Some of the cars had aluminum intakes that had weld and/or porrosity issues causing vacuum leaks. 

If you can get the rest of the car into shape, the above means nothing, and an Offy intake and some other carb like a Weber 32/36 or a GM TBI swap would be much more worth the effort.

Oh yeah, a drivetrain swap would be nice, but if someone wanted to keep the /6, then there's other things beside the factory stuff to use.

My parents bought a 77 Dodge Aspen new.  It moved us across the country twice and both my sister and I learned how to drive in it.  Ours had the 318 that had a little work done to it when rebuilt by a friend of my dad's.  I loved that car.  It met it's demise on a rainy night when my sister lost the road and played pinball through some trees in 1992-1993.  She, thankfully, was uninjured.

Price is now down to $750.  Heart and nostalgia say "Want!!" but head and lack of room are fortunately in control.
