'65 Valiant/Barracuda rear valence

[Gib Warnick]

I am looking for a rear valence-sheet metal pan under the rear bumper- with cut out for the 273 Commando resonator- I am creating a 273 Commando Signet (with mild 340 disquised as 273) and hope to fine rear pan. Thanks

IIRC, that's not a bolt on part - it's welded - which may make it hard to come by...

That will be impossible to find, I got lucky and found an NOS one for my car years ago but it didn't have the extra cut outs.

The other thing is that part is the whole back of the car between the tail lights, from the trunk lip down the the bottom edge of the valance.

Thnaks guys- I understand the pan will need to be welded in-but I am hoping there may be someone who has a parts car they can cut out for me.
Plan B- Can anyone give me close ups of there car with resonator? I can maybe have mine modiified to look close- it's an Arizona car with very little rust.... Thanks again

With measurements, it should be pretty simple to add the cutout on yours using some wooden bucks.

"I can maybe have mine modiified to look close"

That was what I was thinking would be the way to go, rather than major surgery.

Ya just copy one! Am sure lots of people will send you pics, give you exact measurements etc... I crushed a factory commando 4-speed car... Never thought about the valance till the car was gone! Oops...
