my 69 valiant is getting 20 MPG and i drive it hard. its driven 135 miles a day for commuting to work, and ive not done anything to it. ive not even tuned the motor or gone through the carb. if i drove it sanely, and gave it a good tune up, i bet it would get 22 MPG.

i have no idea why no one has tried to steal my fury. i just dont get it

I hear what your saying, but with me, it takes me longer because im never in that much of a hurry, so if need be i can kick it into high gear,. I believe we find easier ways to do things ,not so we dont hurt ourself, but were smarter with old age...lol

im 57 and for the most part, been healthy, but at the end of this week, ill soon find out if a couple problems ive been having will be life changing or not. either way, my issues in life have been never having enough money for things ive always wanted to do, but i can live with that. I am...

i live in one of the worst shitholes in california and no one bothers with my car. i even leave it unlocked. anyone wanting to steal the car will show up with a tow truck and haul it away so not much you can do there.. anyone wanting to steal things will be looking for electronics or cash, so...

the original tires listed for my valiant was a 700-13 and the closest thing i found i put on my car, and the spare still sticks above the floor. im thinking its not possable any longer...lol

i know a speedo shop and all they do is repairs. i can find the name if you want, and you can call them and tell them what you have and they can make one with whatever ends you need. there in hayward ca.

well i moved from medford to grants pass and was there for about 6 years off upper river road. i have about 5 years before i retire and im moving back to grants pass. i went to north medford high and raced at the circle track and derbyed many mopar at that track...lol

when i was cruzing the strip in medford with my friends, we ribbed each other a lot, but it was only fun. i had a 64 GTO, and 3 of my best friends drove a big block chebby, and 69 GTX and 69 road runner. most of my friends and i were always happy and willing to talk to anyone interested in...

i cant vote, because i dont care for any shade of green for a car of my own. not saying green is bad, just not for me

damn, i forgot all about being able to get a gal close to you that way. my next seat will be all vinyl like it originally was to begin with. now its cloth in the center and vinyl around the edges so its easier to deal with in the hot summer months. :burnout:

i bet if you give him a ride in your car, it may get his juices going again. sometimes we just need the right boost

hahaha i have the same A/C unit in my 68

i drive my 69 every day, and im putting on 140 miles a day, and getting 20 miles per gallon. The real problem is not the cars, its the new replacement parts. at least with these cars you can know what is prone to go out, and if you pay attention to how the car feels and sounds, you know when...

:violent1: thats so sad its funny, and memorys like that are always good for laughs down the road. And ya cant make stuff like that up.

hahaha your right. i own 2 and am looking for another, and i actually like the looks of the valiant better then the dart and duster. the 2 i have are original and will stay that way, because my kids are getting them, but when i have one for me, its a whole different story.:burnout:

ive gone a different way, and talked to people that didnt want to sell what i was interested in, and i normally even offer to help them get them back on the road, just to let them know its not about the money...at least with me its not. plus if you do become friends, and help, some deals may...

looks like caca. put it on ebay, il make sure to not bid on it.:poke:

i like adding factory options, and hell, they can be removed without hurting anything

I would recomend joining a club thats already going. way back in the day i was in nor cal van club, and like has been said, its a lot of work, and most want to party, and not the business end. then i joined a young motorcycle club, and the difference was new people had a Hang around period to...

Well one of my plymouths will be going to my son, and he lives in utah, not far from salt lake city. needless to say, its a rust free car, and the thought of the word "salt" freaks me out. Is there any sugestions on what precautions my son should take, or in general, things to look out for? Not...

is it in cali? or am i reading something wrong. and im in cali and im interested.

here in nor cal. they would be gone in no time at that price.

i just went to the site and noticed you can add your own logo. I see buying gauges with the mopar logo in the near future.

how about breaking it with a hardened punch

i need to add to this again. as one of the post said, he "didnt want to wind people up" but the way i see it, is this is good reading and it gives people a chance to see other peoples opinion. Another thing i look at is when these cars were a dime a dozen, and doing demolition derbys and stock...

wow im shocked at the answers here. i used to run dextron which was for GM and Mopar, and type F was for fords, and it was said to never swap the types. now its hard to find normal dextron and ive been battling what to safely use for a while, but ive not had problems so far using the dex/merc.

Its not just one store, they all have to get the parts where they can. i tend to pay more for parts from napa when its a tricky part, because theres nothing worse then getting a young kid at autozone or O'Reilly helping me and you tell them what you need and they have no idea what it is or goes...

I think the key here is the fact there spending that money on a car there going to sell and make a profit. its not a car they plan on keeping. they could care less about the car, because to them its just money. there not like most here that cringe when we see a car in a field rotting away...

all good definitions for sure. i guess what is bothering me is the fact that what started out as a good thing was overused for the wrong reasons. Its kinna nice my valiants would be called survivers, yet there are still a few out there in all original paint and un-modified condition.
