Picked up another one - 68 Valiant
I heard about a '67 Barracuda sitting in the bush so I went and checked it out. There was also a '65 Savoy 2 dr post ('65 Fury for you guys south of us), a '65 New Yorker sedan, and a 1st gen Plymouth Horizon. Turns out the guy wanted a little too much for them all, but we worked out a deal on this '68 Valiant 100 sedan. Upon closer inspection, turns out the front frame rails, shock towers and floors are rotted out, so it'll be a parts car. That's OK, it didn't come with keys or registration either. But it did come with a '70 318, cast intake, extra 360 heads, clean valve covers, and some 904/727 cores.
Here's after getting it home. It's got a build sheet and fender tag. Power steering and power brakes were the only option. Both bumpers were beautiful until the front one caught the trailer coming off.. Still upset about that. Pretty good front clip, quarters are savable, rally dash (??), really nice gold bench interior, beautiful trunk lid, seems to be tinted windows all around, nice stainless, tail lights, grills, and a potentially running slant (I'll find out tomorrow).
