Picked up 2 little bad *** mini mopars

This saturday i went to go see a car and wasnt expecting anything , i looked at the body closely and even if it wasnt the top dog of mopars i found thst it was very solid , as my experience as a son of a bodyman i checked all the important places and all around it was pretty good ,1st ( primer ) car is a valiant v200 signet born with a slant 6 but was to be converted into a drag car / second one( 2 door also )was born with a 273 and was about to be swaped with a e58 360 , i made him an honest offer and he accepted it , both cars are complete : i might keep one for my little cousins of 14 and 19 to make them start building something very cool , would love to keep the other one but already with the 76 duster that i bought back in october for a lot of $$$ would be a bad timing keeping another project with this pandemic , 1st one will be for sale , im pretty sure and the other one lets hope that my familly can finish it ! Friends told me that they are getting up in value and they are kinda rare nowadays , Love these little cars they are so bad *** looking ahahahah

2nd one with a 8 3/4

Those are the worst three words that can be spoken; "let's go look". Somethin' is bound to come home. Great find! Good luck with your new Mini Mopars! (I was expecting Hot Wheels or Matchbox to be pictured).

Nice score, I like the 67-69 Valiants!

Nice find.

Ya know in the amateur radio world there's a saying that an antenna just won't work right if it's put up in nice comfortable weather. It must be cold, snowing, blowing, raining, "something" uncomfortable before the darn thing will work right

Wonder if the same is supposed to be true of buying classic cars? When I bought the 74 Scamp it was terrible weather to buy a car. Had to dig out snow, and rope-yank it out of an alley with more than a foot of snow for 1/2 a block. Roads were slick and icy.

The reason the Farmall is in the background? Had to dig the trailer out of it's parking spot, too.

So true ! Here is my 69 340 4sp Swinger when I first saw it .

And I was just going to get an 8 3/4 advertised on CL .

Good for you!
I have a couple of '69 Valiants and they are cool.
It took awhile for them to grow on me, but they did.
Admittedly, 30 years ago, I didn't like them......
