1961 Valiant Wagon

Rainy Day Auto said

Thanks for sharing all this hyper-pak related info and photos.

I'm also doing a similar build except mine is a 63. Although 1963 is after the hyper-pak era, I'm trying to build a car "as if" they offered a hyper-pak in the then new body style of 63.

I have a hyper-pak and Clifford reproduction hyper-pak manifold. I'm going to use the Clifford since it's never been on a car before. I really like the OE look and I like the alternator on the driver side of the engine.

That 63 is awesome. And really when you think about it...as the Hyper pack is a dealer offered item there could have been a few hyper pack set ups still in dealerships for a few years before they cleared them out. It looks like I have the same roof rack as your wagon. I was surprised that there was alot of work gone into installing my roofrack at the time. But I am happy I put it on. Keep up with the wagon. They look so cool on the road and you always get the thumbs up when driving around in it.
