[WANTED] 1966 Plymouth Valiant Shell/Project

[Eric Cheetham]

Good morning everyone! I currently own a '66 V100 and, unfortunately, it recently got wrecked by a runaway wood chipper. Over the past three years I had replaced the floors, fixed the cowl rust, had the seats retrimmed in the original correct fabric/pattern, and much MUCH more...

I'd love to be able to find another 4-door shell to swap all of my parts over to. A 2-door will be fine but is not preferred. This is a last-ditch effort to be able to use the multitude of new parts that I've purchased over the last three years while still having a '66.

I'll entertain all cars but like I said, I prefer a clean rust-free shell. I'll cap my price at $3000 BUT if you have something super clean, I'll consider spending more. I'm NOT looking for a restored car, rather something that I can build with what I have- which is basically everything.
I live in Maine and am willing to travel within 100 miles of Boston to pick it up.
Thanks for looking!

Looks fixable to me......that's assuming you can find a quarter. The door should be a bit easier as '64-6 Dart and Valiant 4dr's should have the same shell.

There's a lot more damage than what meets the eye. It's simply not worth the effort or the amount it would cost to fix. I wish it would be, especially after 3 years of hard work. That said, I'm still going to fight their insurance to recoup the money spent. This post is basically a last ditch effort to be able to own a Valiant, but I very much doubt any other one that I find will carry the same history and story that this one has. Here's to hoping!

If it's somebody else's fault, they have to make you whole, which can be whatever it costs to repair, replace, or cash value. Don't just accept what they say it's worth. Get some estimates for the repair. If there isn't a comparable car available to purchase, they'll either have to fix yours, or come up with a value you will accept. Talk with a lawyer and get some advise. I hate when insurance companies try to force unfair settlements on people.
