Not Another 1966 Valiant Signet
I couldn't help myself and bought this '66 Valiant Signet (Hi my name is Rich and I have a problem - I keep buying '66 Valiants...). It was originally a 273-2bbl but it now has an new 4-bbl with "commando" valve covers and it sounds very healthy thru it's dual exhaust. I like that it has air conditioning although it isn't functioning right now. I know it's a bit of a rust bucket that was patched up a long time ago and it is coming apart a bit but it seems solid and straight. Yes it has some needs; the headliner and front seat need attention and I could list a number of other issues that I'll need to get to. Also, I' d like to put some stock wheel covers on it. Anyway here's the pics...
This pic doesn't really show the body filler coming off of the rear wheel opening. Like a lot of '66 Signets that are painted the side moldings are gone and the lower portion isn't painted the Argent silver.
The air cleaner needs some chrome or at least a Commando" sticker.
Yep needs a headliner
Has classic A-body fender rust
Looks nice in this pic but the trim is over 45 years old and it shows when seen up close.
