Another Toy
« on: April 10, 2007 - 04:43:20 PM »
Picked up another old Mopar, 1966 Plymouth Valiant V200 with the 273 V-8. Pretty cool little car, just had all the body work done and repainted. Was the kids project car at Alfred State college. Other than a rear spring and some minor cosmetic things, it was a solid car, and at 2,500 bucks i couldnt say no.

In the pics she is pretty dirt, after it gets delivered and cleaned up ill snap a few more.

With a transplant, you could have a pretty sweet little sleeper there...

Cool purchase, djdmotorsports. :cheers:  My cousin had a '66 Valiant Signet two door stuffed with a mild 360/4-speed...Talk about a fun little car.  He sold it to a friend of mine who plans on making it into a nostalgia drag racer. (Should be a cool little car.)

Yea im not going to put a ton into the performance for now mostly because all the extra funds are going into the Cuda Paint and Motor fund, but once im done with that im sure ill wake up one morning and decide to make that thing stupid fast.
