    1965 Valiant Convertible - What's it worth to you?

    Putting newer seats in IMO is the way to go but yeah many people think what it came with from the factory is better

    18.4 mpg!!!

    i found with 3.91 gears and 215/70/15 rear tires, speed really matters. On a long road trip I started off going 60--62 mph and thought at first the gas gauge was stuck. Normally I would go 75 mph plus on the freeway but since it was a long trip and I tend to drive faster the longer I drive, I...

    Weird speedometer problem

    i find it best to have your speedo read just a tad too high. Mine reads 2--3 mph too fast...so when I slipped up the other day and was going mid 70's in a 70 zone, the cop drove off as i went by but then turned around at the first turn around. U remember it for a while but then as month-years...

    V6 vs V8

    There is nothing in common anymore expect it has 4 wheels, everything else has been changed. Yeah maybe these newer cars drive pretty good but then get in a real 4.10 gear muscle car that runs an honest 13 in the quarter....you will find it eats up more pavement quicker....don't go by how it...

    Thing I hate most about my/all A-bodies

    V6 vs V8

    Aluminum heads are why newer engines are 10.5 to 1....real muscle engines had 11 to 1 with iron heads,,those are all history, I don't think any new engine has iron head--well maybe those semi trucks still do

    V6 vs V8

    They claim V6 have 300 hp but get it up to a steady 90 mph and step on the gas...it sure doesn't go like 300 hp...I think HP ratings today are very inflated....here in 1970 they were underestimating HP, today they are overestimating...people just accept ever they are told Well we got these...

    Thing I hate most about my/all A-bodies

    Theft-proofing a convertible with no steering lock

    Yep, I'm just now reading the other threads...people just walking by it can scratch or damage it....I see it as two sided, one they are jealous and or second they think old cars are bad somehow....remember when muscle cars were nick named "killer cars" Still we should try to enjoy our old cars...

    Theft-proofing a convertible with no steering lock

    Thats about it....one thing that really stinks about using a classic car everyday...dont forget about the jerks who think old cars are "dirty" and hurt the Earth....vandalism is another thing to worry about...you need to watch Where you drive and take it, more then anything else. There are...

    Wow, I just let my fuel tank vapor hose hang freely like the 1960's cars were, it worked great back then and still does today, lol Breakdowns stink and yeah traffic can sit far to long now of days. People-drivers don't "push" their way down the road anymore, they put around and yap on the...

    not mine! HaHaHaa

    No kidding..well maybe Nascar has one worth $200,000 but they claim its over $1 million. I got into the old car hobby cause it was cheaper then a new car, today some old cars cost more then new cars. Still $200,000 is too much, way too much. $20,000 is my limit--its just a car. Gotta save...

    Missed my Anniversary

    Thats my dream garage someday...long as fuel prices stay reasonably stable, I don't see me selling my ride, if anything I would like a second old car, maybe a pre 1964 next time--with lots of newer updates.I'm even open to other makes long as its Mopar power, maybe even a 1930's street rod..but...

    Ebay seller stole my picture

    As Prince Harry found out, there isn't much you can do sometimes As for it being legal or not, well if its not technically legal but the poster doesn't cooperate what are you going to do - sue them ? That cost money and time and what if you lose ? You might end up making it worst like Kate did
