1966 Valiant Signet 2drHdtp 318/904-CO

Nice Car! I got a few questions for ya...
So, what does it mean exactly if if doesn't have torsion bars? Is that a bad thing? I am just curious, as I am not sure. I know what coil over are, and what the torsion bar does...I think? lol
Do the stock gauges work other than the ammeter you mentioned? Speedo, odometer, fuel gauge? I only ask because you mentioned you have aftermarket gauges installed.
BTW, the idle sound has such an awesome lumpy sound to it for a 318 too! it sounds really really good!
Would it make the drive from Colorado to Southern California?
Will that 318 light em up?
Thanks!
Mike
