I have attached the original picture that was taken by the original owner of my '68 Valiant. I blanked out the front plate because at that time it was an active plate in NJ, where I purchased the car from.

Hello Gang, Thanks for the condolences from those who responded to my post regarding my '68 Valiant. To answer a few questions... 1) The car at the end had a considerable amount of 'body cancer' in all the usual spaces that the old Mopars had, around the wheel wells. etc. 2) The steering...

Hello Gang, I had to do something this morning that I was dreading to do for the longest time. I finally had to 'put down' my first car, due to engine failure. (If you are wondering, not the 300-Still have her.) The car I am referring to was my 1968 Plymouth Valiant sedan that I purchased...

Hello Gang, I have a question for the group. As most of the members here know, I have an old '68 Plymouth Valiant with a 273 V8. A few months ago, I had the car in the shop to diagnose another antifreeze leak. I had the radiator replaced recently and the radiator itself is fine. The...

Hello Gang, Sorry it's been a while since I posted here. I have a question.. I have to have the starter replaced in my '68 Plymouth Valiant. How hard is it to access the starter, is this something I can do, or have the car serviced by my mechanic? Also, what kind of starter is needed. I...

MrMopartech, I had the pump replaced in July of 2003, shortly after I purchased the car, after the original pump failed that was on the car when I purchased it. I'm not sure where the leak is coming from. I know that all the hoses are OK, I replaced them when I had the pump replaced...

Hello Gang, I'm just getting in from picking up my '05 300 from the bodyshop this evening. I had the rear bumper fascia and panel replaced as a result of being rearended over the Memorial Day weekend. I have included pictures that the shop had taken for me to document the work. Enjoy the...

Onehellofadart, To answer your question, as a matter of fact, I just got off the phone with the shop. (3 pm EDT) and the adjuster had written the damages at $1050. The car needs a new bumper skin, the actual bar, the insulation foam backing. Doesn't look too bad though. Thanks for...

Hello Gang, Just to update the gang as to what's going on with me and my Mopars. Last week, some idiot decided to back into my brand new '05 300. The damage, thank God, was minor. The grille suffered some minor damage (chips of plastic gouged out). I happened to notice the damage after I...

Hey Gang, DCX can't be that stupid! They came up with one (or two, if you count the Magnum wagon) of the best cars in a long time. The '05 Chrysler 300 was named "Car Of The Year" in many circles and proves that Chrysler can bring out a winner! I am an owner of a base 300 model, as well as...

No problem, John! You can bet, I am having alot of fun driving the new car. Alot of worries that I had with the Plymouth are nonexistent at present. (given the fact that the car is 3 weeks old!) Don't worry, you didn't take things too far with the mods. I knew that you were just teasing...

Hello Gang, Just to drop a line to all of the friends I have made and will maintain contact with through this board. I plan on keeping my '68 for a little while though. I ended up going into the local Chrysler dealer and ordering a new '05 Chrysler 300. The 300 that I ordered is Cool...

Hello Gang, I have an interesting (but possibly dumb) question for everyone on the boards. I was thinking, If Chrysler ever started a new division (Think Retro-Chrysler) that would release in limited quantities some of the popular cars that went into production over the years. What cars...

Hello Gang, Here's a question....As everyone here knows, I have a '68 Valiant 100 4 door sedan. I had the power steering pump replaced last year after it went. I seem to have a leak coming from the power steering gearbox itself. Is it an easy fix to replace the seals, or just replace the...
