Here are a few photos of my 1967 valiant signet 4 door, 273 commando 4 speed, after owning and storing it for 35 years. it's finally painted and ready to be put back together.
My guess is that since it's a factory Commando, 4 speed, four door; it's a pretty rare car- and it's worth preserving the oddballs! And after 35 years of owning it, there's plenty of attachment to it.Wow that is beautiful. That's probably what it looked like going down the assembly line.
Mind if I ask why that car to keep and restore?
Well said sir, 100 percent correctMy guess is that since it's a factory Commando, 4 speed, four door; it's a pretty rare car- and it's worth preserving the oddballs! And after 35 years of owning it, there's plenty of attachment to it.
Love it!!

Yes, that is the original color.Sweet ride is that the original color?
No, bucket seats, no console.Commando 4 speed over a bench seat
Thank youNo, bucket seats, no console.
Because of the rare combination of the 273, 4 speed, I am the third owner, I have all the original paperwork for it, and I am in contact with the original owner.Wow that is beautiful. That's probably what it looked like going down the assembly line.

I had a pair of nos fenders to use, so, yes, I must drill them for the commando emblemsHard to tell but do your front fenders have the holes for the Commando badges in them? In the future we need to get our E-code 4 speed Valiants together!

A dark blue 4 door with that engine/4 speed combo shows up periodically at Mopar shows in Western Washington State. Only one I'd ever seen in 25 years of Mopar shows, until this one popped up!About 82 total (both 2-dr & 4-dr)
