1974 Chrysler Valiant Regal

Well after an exciting trip, the Valiant is on its way to Durban! My friend Leon went up yesterday to Johannesburg, where he would be meeting up with the owner of the Valiant today. Leon met him at a car show today being held in Johannesburg. The car checks out great. On the trip back today he ran in to some issues. The fuel line at the fuel pump has deteriorated and is sucking air, causing the car to sputter then finally quit. He had the car towed about 30km to the next town, where they found the problem. They replaced the rubber line and Leon headed out of town. He made it about another 100km when the car stalled again. This time it sounds like the fuel pump has taken a crap. At this point Leon and I decided it would be best just to have the car towed to Durban. The car should be there in about an hour from now. Leon was very impressed with the condition of the car, and says I will be very happy with it. Besides the obvious maintenance the car needs, its a true survivor. And in south Africa that's pretty much unheard of. Leon sent me a couple of pictures from Today's adventure.
