Hello people
So me and my boy were riding down the road and saw a pretty clean Valiant 4-door cruising next us. We were driving a Hyundai sonata with pretty good options, like sport rims, leather, spoiler, sun roof, etc. but even next to the classic car, I felt somehow less cool than the young chap behind the wheel of the A-body beauty, complete with original paint and even some minor body damage. The Valiant oozed coolness and appeared to be an original granny car; the driver probably just recently picked it clean from an estate sale ... at least that's what it looked like to me.
So, from that moment, I have been thinking about how I have always thought these little square-bodied gems have always caught my attention and that for some reason I have always wanted to own one of these classic cruisers.
So, that really is why I joined here.
I may just become one of you in the near future ... or maybe I already am?
Joe

Hoping to find that one owner plain Jane that's been garaged or covered and cared for like a Cuban car.
Looking for a good driver that is not modified. I am an original type of guy, keep it stock to rock.
IDK, I just made that up (I Love You Man style).
Somebody that want to sell their ride for a good price to someone who apprieciates the car, the condition, and the originalness.
Any advice on how to hunt such an animal?
