Well im a dreamer and i dont know what will happen with this car and dont know if ill change the nickname too , ahahahah but to be serious i posted some pics of this one before , i can say that im planning to keep this one , my first choice at the moment is to swap the 5.9 and put a reverse valve body in the 46re and put the 9 1/4 with the 3.55 ( suregrip ) the gas tap channel did a good job on cutting and preparing the 9 1/4 for his 69 valiant too. This abandonned car is born a 69 , 273 v8 car , f8 color if im not mistaken and green and black interior , Valiant v100 trim package, planning to run it as a ratty car but packing some power , my duster as a 380hp crate with a 727 and 8 3/4 its around 2800 pounds and im planning to go lower with this one like between 2200 and 2500 max is my goal , a gutted interior but all fonctionnal with the strict minimum , a very light valiant and 400hp would be fun , if i can had overdrive it would be even better , i wanted a different engine to make it more special and weird but up to now its my best choice and i want to keep the budget very very low , *** ugly , fast , cheap and reliable...4x words !! Enjoy guys ! Ps* this car was told it was a parts car only , you know what its even more solid than my duster ! The structure of this little valiant is extremely solid , incredible start a for a project , ugly from the exterior but as strong bones !!

Well worth saving. They don't make 'um anymore. 2 door sedan to boot !
 
The more I look at your photos that car ain't bad.Anymore the cost of doing cars is way up there. I too like the ruff but reliable runners.
This is what I did with my parts car. A Arizona car all it's life so the body was too good to scrap.
All used parts and left overs. Made a fun driver with a 1970 318/904.
