Slant 6 Interest
2 years ago I had a 66 Sport Fury 440 that was my pride and joy. My wife and I have been looking for a Victorian Farm house for a long time. We found one and was a little short on funds. I told her that I would sell the car to fund the house. That was 2 years ago. My wife about 3 months ago said,.."you should get another car because I'm sure you miss the Fury". I started looking and really didn't want to spend a lot of money, but it was hard as every Mopar I looked at was pretty expensive. so, I kept looking and looking. About 3 weeks ago I stumbled on a 66 Valiant Signet /6 on Craigslist about 2 hours from my house. I called the guy and set it up to go see it. We drove up with the car trailer and I bought the car. IMO,.I stole the car for the money I didn't spend on it. He was in his late 60's and had his wife with him. He had it since the 70's and had it in his garage since then, but drove it and put a lot of time, love and money into it over the years. They were both very nice people. Long story short. I've always had a thing for /6 Mopars and owned a lot of them. They to me are very cool engines and very different. I have it at the shop and every day I have people walk up and say,.."that is a cool car" and rave about the /6. I love the car and it's /6.
