Hi all! I'm the fairly new owner of a '69 Plymouth Valiant. Had it for about a month now. It's a 273 V8 with a three-speed column-shift, 116K miles, and mostly stock. The previous owners seem to have only done what was neccassary to keep it running.
Of course, I'm in the middle of installing headers and a dual-exhaust system, putting together an 8 3/4" rear-end, and have a Holley 600cfm 1850 (very cheap, of course) and Edelbrock Peformer intake on their way now. ;D After that, we'll see what's next.

You can see my dead '95 Neon (which was just towed away the other day...) and my '99 Jeep Wrangler in these pics. Always been a Mopar guy. ;)

More, bigger pics here!

Thanks! Yours looks better! One of my biggest concerns right now is finding a grill as perfect as yours. My bent up one is getting on my nerves.
How did you get it so perfect?
 
Thanks all! Yeah, it's in really great shape. Mostly stock, for the time being... I am of course, going to update and upgrade a lot of things... Nothing too drastic, I'm so used to 4 cylinders the 273 V8 is all I need. ;)
The only real rust problem is in the trunk, but the pans are still good. It was repainted at some point, a shade darker than the original (B5, I'm assuming?), but it really need a paint job anyway.
 
looks like a great car to start working on!

I have a instrament cluster and rear view mirror for that thing if you happen to come into a need......I just sold a very nice grill not to long ago......missed it by that < ? > much....

welcome aboard.
