Been on the site for many years, and created account a few years after that... but after many years of being without an A-body of my own, I finally bought my first one!! So here's how to story begins...
Well I sold my built 92' Galant VR-4 (313/1000), a few weeks back and have been on the search for an A-body Mopar to fill the void, saw a few cars just none really grabbed me... that was until I came across this factory fresh 67' Plymouth Valiant!! With a mere 12,5xx miles on a matching #'s slant 6, how could I not make the trek to ohio!
It turned out to be just as clean in person, and had plenty of documentation to prove it truly was 12k miles. Felt like Finnegan and Freiburger, as I drove this the 300 miles back between Ohio and Auburn Hills, MI. I was amazed to have no issues besides a slight coolant temp issue(turned out to be a backwards thermostat that had also siezed up).
I got some fun build plans to make this boring slant 6 car into a hellish street sleeper!! Here's some teaser photos, and I'll get the rest posted when I finish the edits!
*I'm sure I'll be pissing a lot of you off by building this low mileage car, but it's only a slant 6 car... Also I will be doing it in a modest way, I will not be tubbing it, no rollcage, or anything like that; The most "Oh my god" thing will likely be using subframe connectors...
