i saw one on seattle craigslist today.
1960 Valiant, special edition, Station Wagon, RARE-

Seattle ad is a bit deceptive. there were were way more than 350 made but they are now quite rare. Given that he admits to heavy metal rot I'm wondering if it's even worth restoring. Seller should have posted pics in my opinion. Price seems fair for a parts car but I get the impression 65dartcharger wants something in better shape. In my experience this is a tough car to find as wagons were rarely put away by little old ladies and more often used up and junked by families. I have a driving, mechanically sound '62 I revived from a 20 year desert field slumber if interested. I'd drive it to New York tomorrow, but interior and cosmetics are atrocious unless your into "patina" as they now call it.

good luck! I`ve been watching for a 64 or 65 valiant wagon, that isn`t ate up w/ rust , that I can afford for a while !

Thought I'd also suggest posting on Slant6.org if you haven't already. There seems to be a stronger network, more interest, for these early cars/parts on their site.

Curiosity got the better of me. Was wondering how search was going. Any finds?
