A new A-Body in the fold; 1960 "Valiant" V200
All,
I picked up a very cool new car to play with and have some fun. A 1960 Valiant with a 1962 225 (built). This appears to have been a purpose built 225/6 for drag racing. I has a 232 cu in motor built to Clifford specs by a race engine shop from Cali. Currently sporting a 600 Holley. Long Tube HeadersOther features of the car include; A-833 Tranny/Hurst Shifter, 8 3/4 3.23 open diff (the 4.56 SG was removed), Traction Bars, 2 Step, Front Line Locks, Elec Exhaust Dump, Alum Rad, Gages, Rear Battery. Currently has a stock dizzy and MSD Box/Coil in it but also came with a DUI HEI Dizzy/Coil, MSD Coil, along with some spare carbs, Offy Int 4 bbl and a dual point dizzy.
Car had an earlier restoration is very nice underneath too. 92 k original miles. I added a newer valve cover with a pcv setup, and an KN air cleaner, oil change.
Should be a fun project as I learn the /6 225 and this classic MOPAR.
What do you think?
Thanks,
Marion
