1962 Valiant Signet 200

Back in ‘66 I had a ‘57 Caddy convertible with 365 cu. in. V8 with 4 speed Hydramatic , I beat ‘57 T Birds no problem . A friend had a ‘62 Lancer with 170 cu. in. And 3 on the floor manual.

Well on day after school we lined up and dropped the hammer , dang little /6 beat the Caddy repeatedly until the trans in the Caddy made a god awful screech .
When I got home I told my Dad the Caddy made a weird noise just driving down the road, all innocent like . He took to repair shop and low and behold it needed a trans overhaul .
Dang Lancer !
I’ve wanted one ever since . But a ‘63 270 more door Dart , a ‘64 270 wagon a ‘64 GT and now the ‘66 GT my dad bought new and I’m kind of over it .
