Description and photos can be found on my eBay listing here: 1964 Plymouth Valiant | eBay Basically, a low mileage very honest unmolested original car. There is a reserve of $3,200 on it (please don't disclose that outside this group), which may be above what many on this forum want or need to...

Thanks again to all for your input. I found the harness connections for pink and white and reconnected the brake switch properly. All now works as it should!

Thanks for this. Heading home as I write to re-wire accordingly. Feeling optimistic...so far!

Did you manage to find any good seat covers? I’m now looking for the same for my 64 Valiant

Couldn't resist picking up this project, and currently planning to restore for use by one of our teenagers, 1964 V200, with 26,000 original miles on it. Long time British car guy (being British...) but I did previously own a 71 Duster and a 75 Dart Sport (when they were new-ish), so this...
