Very nice 67 Plymouth Valiant on Portland Craigslist.

I went to look at this car the other day and actually drove it.

The black and chrome does look good, but up close you can see that whoever painted it black (the car was originally brown) did a decent job, but not a great job. The interior is still brown, and by that I mean not just the upholstery, but also the parts of the interior that get painted (the dash and the doors). IMO, that's sloppy. If you're going to go to the trouble of painting the exterior a new color, you might as well go ahead and paint the interior to match. The engine compartment is black, but I consider that less important than the interior.

The car does drive nice, and accelerates very smoothly.
I didn't like the power steering, though. I drive a '66 Valiant with manual steering, and I like being able to feel the road. The power steering on this '67 Valiant for sale felt way too cushy (it reminded me of the power steering on 1970s GM cars).

It is a '67, and at some point someone must've added the '69 grille. That '69 grille has been painted, by hand it looks like, and up close doesn't look all that great. But that's minor.

And about that dual exhaust manifold: it definitely looks aftermarket, but it is not a Dutra, for those of you slant sixers on the lookout for such things. Having driven it, it is powerful, and as I mentioned above, it accelerates very smoothly. So whoever put in that dual exhaust knew what they were doing, and has kept the engine in good shape over the years, I think.
