Who Is In the Market for Early ABodies These Days?
I don't know how people are saying early As drive and handle better. In stock form the early A's were chintzy and weak. Once upgraded with late A body (aha) brakes and drivelines, now we're talking.
I would have have to say the best handing and riding A bodies are 73 and up. My favorite are 70 to 72 which have really become expensive these days.
I have one early A, a 63 valiant wagon that I recently got running, driving and stopping. It's an interesting experience to drive it with the original brakes and suspension. Part of me says upgrading it is the next step in a natural progression. The other part of me says, leave it alone and love it for what it is, nothing more, nothing less.
I wouldn't buy another one, nor would I sell this one, it's been with me too long and it holds a lot of memories and now that its running, driving, and roadworthy, there is more bonding to come. :usflag:
