My priorities have changed, so I am selling my 1968 Valiant road racer (originally owned and built by Tim Werner). It is an incredible car that will go 150 mph if you dare. It is the most exciting car I have ever driven. Unfortunately, it is time for me to pass it on to the next owner.
Car was featured in Mopar Muscle magazine a few years back. Here are links to the articles.
