60-62 Valiant/Lancer: the red-headed stepchild of the Mopar resto world
The Aussies are BIG on the RoadToads, all are more doors there. Thy have a group on FB also.
While we are talking Toads here is the story on mine. I got it about 7 years ago while I was back n Missouri. I see this add for a Toad. It was on CL and 2 hours away. I all the guy an ask him the uual questions. I get there and I find it has frame rust on just the bottom side of the rear frame rail behind the axle. Other than that pretty solid except some rust around the rear wheel wells. A PO had did a patch on floor. He tells me HO many old Mopars he has had and flipped over the years, and I start to ***** him out about that frame, he had said NO frame rot!!!!!! I said he would have to PAY ME to haul it home, but......I did gave him $600 and left.
. Non running.
I find out it had been the pace car for years at a local dirt track!!! IT had the remain of a CK place for antennae on fenders, etc. Those years on a wt track was the cause. I fabbed some 10 ga. sheetmetal in "L's and fixed the darn frame and any other rusted spot. I repainted it B# blue as my wife claims it and loves blue.
