I really like the 2 door post cars. Not sure why, I've always been partial to 2 and 4 door hardtops.

Gorgeous cars!
 
Here is my 69.

Darter6: Whats the deal with those seats? That print looks kinda cool! Have any pics of that material a little closer though?

Hopefully we can get a good thread running here. Love to see these cars.
 
That is dealer installed clear plastic seat covers from 1968. They even covered the front door panels and sun visors. Common in the 60's. I bought a 63 Valiant a few years back and the seat covers were still on that one too.
 
Here is my baby. All original 68 /6 car with a 3 on the tree. Recent upgrades include 14"14x5.5" wheels with 205/60-14. Just got done building a replacement 170 for it. It has a .40 over with an COG cam 225 duration @50 440 lift with a 108 lsa head was also shaved 56 thou to bump up cr to about 9.5. Running a holley 390 with a clifford manifold And here she is with the 14"s last year painted viper blue.
 
I see this died already.Guess not many 67-69 Valiant owners out there.
 
Here's mine 67 273 Commando that I do not think I am get to.But is a very cool car.

bump for this thread, i think it's kewl.........i was wondering though, all these cars appear to be sedans, did they make a hard top in those years? anyways, great cars in here....

Bought this 67 from a junk yard a few weeks ago for $250. It was a slant 6, auto car but there's no engine or trans. It'll get stuck in the shop for a few years till I get parts and money to build it. What I'd really wanna do is buy a wrecked '11+ charger with a v6 and 8 speed auto and swap the engine and trans into the valiant. 300hp would move it right along and if that combo can get 31 mpg highway in a charger I wouldn't be surprised to see 35+ in the lighter valiant!!

Dang that's a great idea! I have the 3.6 in my Jeep, it seems like a solid engine and I bet in a Val it would really motivate it.
 
Ive tried to follow this cars build. Sounds like its pretty nasty with an aluminum B-block ? Wonder if they have any quarter mile slips from it yet?
