63-66 Valiants

Its fair to say, I like Valiants ..

 

I'm still bumming I missed this one. I had no money on me and I told him I would be back in the morning with the money. He sold it to someone else that night.

 

I can find two doors here , most often hardtops ..

If anyone is real serious about wanting one, let me know and I'll find one for you ..

I'd say for a nice, hardly messed with one price range would be about $1800 to $2500.00

I have passed on 63's for allot less ..

The same era Darts are about $1200 to $1600.00 roughly last I checked

 

Yellow 66 is my friends Ray Costello run 9.50's red one Rob Epler others are off the net. Darrell

 

Few more pictures. Darrell

 

always on the look out for a valiant to torture.

Love those wagons!! Missed out on one a couple weeks back

Looks mighty simliar to mine, faded, cracked paint & all. - roof had be painted orange when I got it. I just did a quick down & dirty 'flake job and shot some clear matt over the rest to slow the rust for a while. A fresh motor, 5-speed column shift and cosmetic redo are due to happen soon.....

 

Don't know how the year's mate up, but in Australia 66 VC Valiant Safari. 273 v8 904 auto. Hope it gives you a few idea's!!

 

I like the Valiant 2 door post cars the best...they make some nice hot rods....course I'm really partial to 65 Dart verts.

These cars and wagons are so very cool, they have Style !

 

Could not pass this thread up. My bud Dan put in a 392 Chrysler hemi in his 63 wagon because people said it wouldn't fit. It's now gota 354 in it and for sale; thought u might like a few photos.

 

I'm trying to find a piuctur of a \/aliant wagon about this year I saw at a car show a few years back. It had a small V8, a 4 speed, and aluminum slots. V8 will fit on a slant six k frame with mounts from a v 8 car 63-66 only

 

I once paid a dollar to get a guy to show me how to open the hood on a early valliant.

 

Here are some updated pics of my '66 valiant. Mostly a street car, but runs 12.20 in the quarter.

 

Here is what mine looks like currently

 

When I was in high school in the mid-sixties and just got my license, our family car was a '62 Valiant stationwagon with a 170 c.i. slant six. It was fire-engine red with a red interior. I thought it was sooo uncool, but we hauled a boat inside or on top, went all over Missouri's streams camping and fishing and I once took it airborne over a barbed wire fence at 85 mph trying to get away from someone who my friend had egged. Looking back on it now, I'd be delighted to have it today.

 

No mention of the $375,000 1965 4 door Dart?

(sorry, perhaps close to off topic)

Other Cobain items that sold included (with estimates) Cobain’s 1965 “Baby Blue” Dodge Dart 170 4-door sedan — which came from Kurt’s sister, Kim Cobain, who has owned the car for the last 28 years. The Dodge is the only known surviving car that was owned and driven by Kurt Cobain and it sold for approximately $375,000.

The Canadian Valiants of that era had a Valiant front clip mated to a Dart from the windshield on back. They weren't Plymouth Valiants, just Valiant and were sold at both Plymouth and Dodge dealerships.

 

Mine , it is getting closer .. ( old thread )
