Dare to be different.
What we have here is a one of a kind 1963 V8 Valiant, an engine that was never normally put into a 63 Valiant.
When I purchased this car, it was already converted into a 273 V8 4 barrel Commando motor and a 833 Chrysler 4 speed transmission, backed up by an 8 3/4" rear end with 3;1 freeway gears.
I always thought that the 1963 Valiant had an ugly grille and front end. I always wanted a Barracuda Convertible, so I found this car that had a 1965 Barracuda front clip. Hood, fender, grille and bumpers put onto a 63 Valiant's body. Combined with the 63's rear wrap around tail lights, you have the best of both worlds, thus the name Cudiant.
Up front, we have the 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern with disc breaks. The rear has the same bolt pattern, 5 on 4.5, all the chrome on the car is in nice condition, and the fresh red paint job is less that a year old. It's rust free, having been sitting in the California desert for the past 20 years. Since then, the things has been disassembled and reassembled, with new seats, carpets, top, tires, shocks, clutch, and brakes ect.
This car runs really well, more geared towards top end speed to low end speed to get better gas mileage. It does have a manual top.this car is one of one dont fall in the drone clone clan .heavy duty drive train can take upwards of 600 ponies.super solid straight and never ben wrecked .it is currently registered and is ready to rock.the reserve is under ten k so dont ask i have lots of time and money in this car its very unique and awesome cool,
The car starts and drives everywhere, with a freshly cleaned out radiator. I have the open California title in hand, and it can be shipped world wide. Shipping is responsibility of the buyer.
Feel free to ask any questions. Happy bidding!
