1966 Valiant Signet Convertible
I finally got my 1966 Valiant convert- I had been negotiating with the owner since Sept 9th! But it finally arrived.
It is a very solid but high mileage car with some needs, primarily a paint job. I'm prepping for paint and removing the trim to get it ready for a Maaco paint job since they are half off in January around here, luckily it's been 45 to 50 degrees (instead of the usual 10 to 20) so I can work comfortable in the garage.
In preparation for this car I had purchased a parts car (and swapped with many A-bodies only readers... thanks) for some of the parts this car needed, like the interior and trim.
The 225 slant six starts right up and idles very smoothly, I've only driven it from a trailer into the garage but everything works even though this car sat in indoor storage for ten years.
Hopefully by spring it will be licensed andready for some top down cruizin.
I apologize for the poor pic but that's the only one I got.
