You don't see too many Valiants that are being shown off. I recently seen a really wicked '67 Valiant with a 408 under the hood that looked really mean. I mean, it's no Dart, but damn they can be real mean looking!
Lonnie, that thing is badass!
Just picked one up last Thanksgiving...(see avatar) '65 Signet w/ 340. Just ironing out some of the things that I wanted to address and then it'll be ready for cruise nights and car shows. It's pretty "peppy" and I'm guessing that it is light in weight too. I'm at work so I have no other pics to post.You don't see too many Valiants that are being shown off.

Ouch!!
Well, the Valiant wasn't special back then. American cars were special here in Switzerland in the past, but even my father looked disappointed when I've showed him my first american car. He said "why didn't you get something nice like a Camaro or a Mustang" like dude, I'm just 24 and got like 15k.You don't see too many Valiants that are being shown off.

What a beauty that car was
I love how you have that lookin. I forget though. Are those 14s or 15s?This is the first car I got on retirement. Its an almost completely untouched survivor.

It has been since joined by a small herd of Mopar brethren. I'd like to add a 67-69 Valiant but I need another car like a hole in the head.
Yeah that's a refreshing site in the pits, I'm sure. How many "Nice Nova!" comments have you gotten? LOLRace car so not much stock left. I do get a lot of comments in the pit. Never see these.....

Those are the 15's. I've had 13's, 14's, and now 15's on it. I like these best, the stance is good and the wheel wells are nicely filled. 245/60-15 rear, 215/65-15 front.I love how you have that lookin. I forget though. Are those 14s or 15s?
That's a mighty tall tire for the front. Did you have to do anything to make it fit?Those are the 15's. I've had 13's, 14's, and now 15's on it. I like these best, the stance is good and the wheel wells are nicely filled. 245/60-15 rear, 215/65-15 front.
Nope. Lots of room, and nothing rubs or touches anywhere.That's a mighty tall tire for the front. Did you have to do anything to make it fit?
That's interesting. Thanks.Nope. Lots of room, and nothing rubs or touches anywhere.
I just realized I posted this in the wrong forum, was supposed to be in Mopar General. But damn there are some nice Valiants posted!
