Found myself this little '63 Valiant V200 Convertible a few weeks ago to have something fun to drive through the summer and keep from putting $150/week into the tank of my 4X4 MegaCab! Maybe a 60+ year old car wasn't the best choice, but it is the fun choice.

Dad had a '64 Convertible in high school that he called Super Valiant. It had a balanced and blueprinted 273 that helped him win tons of street races growing up in Seattle. He said he was replacing the brakes almost every week! I figured picking this up would bring back some memories for him.

I am new to A-Bodies, although I use to pickup cheap, dead Darts back in the day to clean up and replace the ballast resistor and then post back up for sale.

Looking forward to learning more about this car. I have a 1956 Dodge pickup that I have had since high school (32 years ago). This little creampuff will be fun to tool around in

Great car! Welcome from Oregon.
 
Welcome, from one PNW Valiant owner to another! That's a fine looking ragtop you have there. I'm a couple hours south of you with my 66 base model. And I agree with you, these old critters are a blast to drive.
