Big Willie's Hemi Valiant
« on: March 01, 2006 - 08:23:00 AM »
Anyone know anything about this car?  All I know is that Big Willie was a pretty famous street racer in the 60's & 70's around LA.

That's actually a Barracuda.  Valiants didn't have the fastback.  It's also pretty sweet looking. :droolingbounce:

Hehehe,

It must be fast, look at all the stickers, and that wing !  If only it was a front wheel drive.   :banghead:

Ghost,

This is Big Willie, you tell him it ain't a Valiant.   :cheers:

Even if you think that you can outrun him, Ghost, you probably can't outrun his Valiant. So a Valiant it is, and a Valiant it shall stay.

Or else. ::)
