Wanted: 1964 or 1965 Valiant convertible
My main requirements are:
- Clear title
- No structural rust (some minor surface rust may be OK)
- No or minimal filler, no major dents
- Car must be running
- Automatic transmission
- Must have been originally a power top car (power mechanism does not have to be in working condition, but all convertible-specific parts (other than fabric, power top cylinders and motor) should be present and in usable condition)
- Must be essentially standard - no significant changes beyond factory options (issues with Australian import laws)
- No air conditioner (again, issues with Australian import laws)
It doesn't matter if it is a 273 or slant-six. I don't care if the numbers don't match.
Paint and interior condition is not particularly important. Minor surface rust may be OK.
Non-standard paint, wheels and accessories are OK, non-standard major mechanical parts are not - not my choice, it's just that I won't be able to get an import approval if it is not standard or optional for a 64 or 65 Valiant.
Ideally I am looking for a good daily-driver or an older restoration, but will consider any car that fits the minimum requirements above, so a better-than-average project car may also be suitable.
If anyone knows of a suitable car for sale, can you please PM me or reply here with details. If you are the seller please include photos of the car.
