This is my thread for my 1966 Plymouth Valiant. I bought it last March and drove it back to Cleveland from Pittsburgh after some minor tune up work. It’s appeared here with a PO but I don’t know much about it other than the brakes were done when I bought it but nothing else. I should have swapped the tank then because when I finally did the rust, if you want to call it that, was horrible in the tank. I did triple filter it but sheesh, lesson learned. I drove it back in the rain of course, so I had to make a top out of a tarp. Worked amazingly well actually, not a drop inside.
This won’t be a typical beginning to end restore as I drive mine while I work on them. Once I get them running they stay running except for short periods of time here and there, just the way I like to do things, I’m not sure why!
So my son and I just did a 300 mile two-day road trip to Detroit and back, I took the old guy back to the place he was born, Hamtramck MI!! In preparation we did the best thing and my son and I repainted and worked on the interior. I’ve done a bunch of other things but I’ll start here. I hope you enjoy!
