I think its time to sell my project car.
I dont have time for it anymore (wife wants another kid)
I will try to be as honest and complete as i can in the description.
Located in mendota, il
Im not sure on a price to list so im gonna throw up $3500. Make me offers
68 plymouth valiant 2 door post car.
360 4 barrel. 727 trans. 8 3/4" sure grip
Body:
Original 1/4's and rocker panels in great shape. No through rust.
Drivers door and front pasenger fender have been replaced. They dont have the holes in them for the side trim
Passenger floor pan rusted out, it was fiberglassed for a temp. Fix.
Paint was new about 5 years ago. Semi-gloss black. Needs a good buffing.
All glass is good. Windshield was replaced with a NOS chrysler windshield that i found sitting in the back of a glass shop. Owner of the shop said it has been there since about 1969. Windshield is not mounted in the car. Needs a new gasket. There are a couple chips around the edge of it, but the gasket will cover it.
Chroms is all in good shape. Interior and exterior door handles are new. I have all the exterior trim that goes down the side of the car except for the drivers door.
Interior:
Carpet in new, havent had time to completely install it but it is in the process.
Dash is in good shape.
Dash pads are junk. I was going to wrap them in carbon fiber but havent had time to complete them.
New repo arm rests.
Automatic column shift
Wood grain steering wheel. Metal spokes are a little rough
Have a new headliner, just needs installed
Dash wiring install needs to be finished.
One of the levers on the heater control is broken, so the controls are not in the dash.
Engine:
360 originally from a 1974 dodge ambulance van.
36,000 original miles
New timing set
Chrome oil pan
Summit headers
2.5" true duals with thrush welded mufflers
Edelbrock 650 4 barrel carb
Mopar performance electronic ignition and distributor (brand new)
Crane cams ignition coil
Perma cool flex fan
Chrome air cleaner
M/T valve covers
Mini starter (from a dakota) brand new
Brand new alternator
New fuel pump
Carb needs to be tuned
I hear a slight tick in the top end. I think it might be a sticky lifter from the engine sitting for a long time.
727 trans from the same van the engine came from
Suspension:
Brand new KYB gas adjust shocks on all 4
Front sway bar
Rear brakes are not installed but i do have them
Car has rear wheel spacers/adapters on it to adapt to big bolt pattern
Rear axle is an 8 3/4 with a 3.23 sure grip. Has the less desirable 7 series case.
Wheels are 18" fittapaldi
I also have very nice front and rear bench seats for the car that match the door panels.
All the headliner bows
Visors
Brownish seat belts
And a bunch of misc. Interior parts
And more stuff
What is for sure needed to finish the car other then assembly"
Driveshaft
Tires
Dash pads
Windshield gasket
Front disc brakes
Radiator
Rear deck cover
Sail panels
And a few other minor things. But im sure i might be missing some stuff
Any questions please ask.
I need it gone soon
Pics are from when it was somewhat clean. Has alot of dust on it now.
I can get as many pics as needed to make sure that neither of us will be wasting our time.
