European A-body owners: where are you?

I contribute some photos of my car, a 1975 Plymouth Valiant Custom 4-door, which I purchased from a breaker's yard in Ornex, France for € 450. My son found the car one day on his way home from school. It cost me € 452 to immatriculate the car because of the engine size (3.7l slant-6).

I've changed the front and rear suspensions to a coil-over damper system purchased from "Control Freak Suspensions", based near Orlando, FL. The car has 4-wheel disc brakes from Wilwood and a servo-assisted rack and pinion steering as well as a "Strange Engineering" limited-slip differential. This has transformed the ride and handling significantly.

I've also tuned the original slant-6 engine. Most of the parts for the engine came from Australia. I purchased an equal-length runner intake manifold from AussieSpeed, and a tuned cylinder head (ported, polished and gas-flowed, with larger valves and dual valve springs), as well a tubular exhaust collector from "Hemi Performance". High-compression pistons, connecting rods and mild racing camshaft came from "Campbell Enterprises". Most other parts came from "Summit Racing", a company that provides good customer service and support to European customers. Fuel management is provided by an Edelbrock 600cfm 4-barrel.

The wheels are American Racing Salt Flats (7 x 17 front and 10.5 x 17 rear) with Pirelli P-Zero Assimetrco tyres (245/45 YR 17-s front and 285/40 YR17-s rear).

The interior is redone in leather and alcantara by a professional saddler, developing a design I found on a Challenger.

My son and I spent over a year planning this project and the building took 22 months. We still have some development to do. I have the racing ignition system ready to install and plan to add a Smith's competition radiator, a 100-amp alternator and, perhaps later, an engine-oil cooler as well (provided it fits). The right rear suspension settings must also be adjusted.

You've done a great job on your car. Hats off! :-)
