    1960-1962 Valiant/Lancer thread

    Atlas Obsolete Chrysler parts has what you are looking for. I am going to use them for the sending unit my 63 Valiant needs. They have the diagram of the parts with numbered breakdown of the parts on their site.

    Feeling pretty proud!

    I learned to drive on a 66 Mercury like the one parked next to your Valiant. You NEVER see those any longer. Oops: looked more closely: what is that car? It looks like 90% of a 66 full size Mercury.. Was this an actual 66 Australian Valiant or did Chrysler make this particular design for more...

    Fender tag decode help please? 1963 Val

    www.mymopar.com has a recently added 59-65 category to their decoder. Mine I got through one of the sites that was dedicated to the 60-62 Mopar but can't remember the name of it. My Signet came of the line in Los Angeles too. Hope that helps a little. And there is lots of information to help...

    Not Another 1966 Valiant Signet

    I love em all,and have a 63 Signet, but the 65 is my favorite because all the details are just right. They fixed all the things that bugged me about the initial design: the hairpin on the front fender goes horizontal, taillights with the round back ups look like jewelry,the grille is well done...

    1960-1962 Valiant/Lancer thread

    How does your repair job look ? One of the goals of the old Slant Six Club of America was to simply keep the cars on the road. What you did was exactly what people would do, especially in the 90s when all the junkyard sources dried up,before the internet made it easier to find parts and before...

    My new '65 Dart Wagon

    Bah: who cares what anyone else thinks is valuable. To me all information about my car is worth gold, like the fact that it was built in L.A. I wish I could find out MORE about it. That paperwork should all be framed and kept with the car IMHO because it makes your car that much more...

    $875 too high?

    NADA price guide for 65 Valiant 100 4 door, retail : $2085 for lowest condition example in Van Nuys CA area. As I said: grab it. It's a bargain.

    $875 too high?

    I paid $600.00 for my 63 Valiant Signet..... in 1980. $875 is a ridiculously low price, even accounting for 30 years of inflation. Grab it. CA car prices are outrageous anyway. Be glad the seller hasn't discovered the "classic" value of the car and isn't asking $3000. At a Mopar show a...

    What color was 63 Valiant Hood Emblem?

    Mine is a 63 Signet, but as I mentioned, the coloring behind the letters was burned off years ago by the sun. There's a Motor Trend from 63 that has the Valiant Signet convertible on the cover. I'll have to dig. And I have the original brochure. But remember: a lot of the photos in the...

    What color was 63 Valiant Hood Emblem?

    Wow: as long as I have had mine it never appeared to have any color variation on the badge and I have never noticed the detail anywhere else like a car show or brocures [but never see many 63s at car shows anyway, even the Mopar shows at Woodley Park in Van Nuys]. It spent the first 18 years of...

    65 valiant signet 4 speed

    Oh no, wish not: you scored. How many /6s and 4 speeds do you think were made within that production break down ? Probably far fewer than V8-4 speed. What a great combination. I am in awe and envy. I have a 63 Signet with 3 speed on the column and it definitely always seems to need that 4th...

    61 Dodge Lancer chop top

    You, this car and your crew are going to be famous in Mopar circles. You're off to a great start and all that good car-ma you're putting into it can only come back 1000 fold. Look forward to the updates

    61 Dodge Lancer chop top

    Keep going like this and you'll have people wishing Dodge had used your design as the 2013 Dodge Caliber [21st Century Road Toad IMHO].Love em both so take that as a sincere compliment. Offering for guys to help so they can learn things: you have to be Santa himself. The gods of auto will look...

    Well guys, look what I got myself into..

    Yeah: my folk's Dart died at 3 years old in a horrible crash. Sad. Amazing cars: still viable today. Long live the A Body.

    Who in the right mind would do THIS to a '66 Dart??

    I'll keep my comments close to my vest. It's hard not to cringe at what sort of crimes against sheetmetal I have committed: my early bondo rust repairs on my Dad's car when I was 14,the pop riveted aluminum patch panels it got when the bondo fell out and the port-a-walls I had installed on the...

    Well guys, look what I got myself into..

    Hot hot hot. My folks had a new 63 Dart wagon, [a 270 trimmed one IIRC] when I was a kid. They still look good, they are still practical and they're just the right size too. You scored.

    1960 Plymouth Valiant, Where to start?

    Oh; good.Thought you were completely without. But the waiting sucks when you want to get started. That isn't a bad price for the aggravation you'll save not having to use 3 keys. Can't believe the car's been out for 50 years already. Amazing little machines

    1960 Plymouth Valiant, Where to start?

    1st post. Love your score. I think you can buy an ignition switch with keys already packaged with it and save yourself some money having a locksmith come out and key one to the car as it sits. Of course the key won't open your doors, but for your purposes now, to check if the engine runs, it...
