Hello all. I am the proud new owner of this very unique car.
There is not an abundance of information out there, so l am asking for help and assistance with a few things.
MY findings so far: indeed a Canadian built car- windsor plant -only offered for sale in Canada not US.
Believe originally sold in British columbia and spent last 25 years in ontario as a 1 owner car.
Custom 200 not signeT. Original color red but changed to blue when restored.
Still has numbers matching rebuilt drivetrain with 273 v8, column automatic,white split bench interior, white power top.
It is identical to the 1966 dodge dart 270 convertible with the following exceptions: valiant lettering across hood nose and trunk, custom 200 badging on interior front door frames and quarter panel stainless trim minus dart 270 embossing.
1966 Canadian built valiants all used the 1966 dodge dart front clip
This is where there is CONFUSION??
The vin tag with original rivets on drivers side door jamb start with letter "L". witch indicates being " dart not "V" for valiant.
I am under the understanding that in 1966, this Canadian built valiant convertible could be sold at both Plymouth OR Dodge dealers hence no badging on cars to indicate it being a dodge or Plymouth.
I also have the 1966 owners manual which covers valiant/barracuda which includes no indication of Plymouth or Dodge, Just marketed as 'Chrysler corporation'' on the front cover.
I AM INTERESTED OF POSSIBLE PRODUCTION FIGURES FOR THIS CAR. SURE NOT MANY AROUND IN THIS CONDITION.
ANY INFO WOULD BE APPRECIATED. PHotos available soon
