I have attached the original picture that was taken by the original owner of my '68 Valiant. I blanked out the front plate because at that time it was an active plate in NJ, where I purchased the car from.

Hello Gang, Thanks for the condolences from those who responded to my post regarding my '68 Valiant. To answer a few questions... 1) The car at the end had a considerable amount of 'body cancer' in all the usual spaces that the old Mopars had, around the wheel wells. etc. 2) The steering...

Hello Gang, I had to do something this morning that I was dreading to do for the longest time. I finally had to 'put down' my first car, due to engine failure. (If you are wondering, not the 300-Still have her.) The car I am referring to was my 1968 Plymouth Valiant sedan that I purchased...

Hello Gang, I have a question for the group. As most of the members here know, I have an old '68 Plymouth Valiant with a 273 V8. A few months ago, I had the car in the shop to diagnose another antifreeze leak. I had the radiator replaced recently and the radiator itself is fine. The...

Hello Gang, Thanks for the replies to my question regarding the starter. I was able to obtain a starter this afternoon. (Heavy little sucker!) I called around and was able to find a remanned starter at a local shop that deals in automotive starters/alternators/electrical systems. I called...

Hello Gang, Sorry it's been a while since I posted here. I have a question.. I have to have the starter replaced in my '68 Plymouth Valiant. How hard is it to access the starter, is this something I can do, or have the car serviced by my mechanic? Also, what kind of starter is needed. I...

MrMopartech, I had the pump replaced in July of 2003, shortly after I purchased the car, after the original pump failed that was on the car when I purchased it. I'm not sure where the leak is coming from. I know that all the hoses are OK, I replaced them when I had the pump replaced...

Hello Gang, I'm just getting in from picking up my '05 300 from the bodyshop this evening. I had the rear bumper fascia and panel replaced as a result of being rearended over the Memorial Day weekend. I have included pictures that the shop had taken for me to document the work. Enjoy the...

Hello Gang, Just a quick note to update everyone on the latest information about my 300. I took the car in for the repairs to the rear bumper/fascia area on my 300. (For those who don't know, I was rearended while at a red light.) When the dealer/bodyshop removed the plastic rear fascia to...

Onehellofadart, To answer your question, as a matter of fact, I just got off the phone with the shop. (3 pm EDT) and the adjuster had written the damages at $1050. The car needs a new bumper skin, the actual bar, the insulation foam backing. Doesn't look too bad though. Thanks for...
