OVERVIEW
No expense was spared for this build. The Valiant still needs to be completed and will be a totally unique, one-of-a-kind type car when finished. Picture yourself driving this stock-appearing, lightweight Mopar A-body with a 358cu.in.R5P7 Dodge Nascar engine producing over 750 horsepower! It has enough power to run into the high 9 second zone in the quarter mile and capable of 170mph plus top speed in the standing mile. With its superior oiling and very low valve spring pressure, you’ll be able to put countless miles on this engine without fear. The R5P7 Dodge Nascar engine has an unbelievable throttle response and sound, which will gain you attention and notoriety at the race track, stoplight or at your local cruise night.
I have well over $25,000 invested in this project with a reserve price set that is less than 50% of my total cost! Bid with confidence as this is a once in a lifetime deal! This car will be sold in ‘’as is condition’’ with no warranty. The winning bidder must deposit $1000 via Paypal within 24hours of the auction ending. The remainder of the balance will be due in full at time of pick up. If winning bidder fails to pick up the car or fails to pay in full at time of pick up, the deposit will be forfeited and the Valiant will be relisted for sale immediately. Winning bidder will also be responsible for arranging all transportation and the costs associated with it. The Valiant is currently located in the greater Kansas City, MO area (centrally located), which should be easier for transporting.
BODY
Very solid and in great shape, it has spent most of its life in Arizona and has a clean title. You’ll be hard pressed to find one in this shape! Body has been primed and sealed. The back glass and all side glass are in great condition, it does need a windshield. Front bumper is fiberglass and rear bumper is factory. The front grille is also in good shape.
INTERIOR
Dash and gauges are in good shape. The A-body Front buckets are in great condition. Rear seat does need to be re-upholstered. Dash pad along with the front and rear door panels are in great shape. No expense was spared in constructing the custom 10-point chrome moly roll cage that is tucked up out of the way for easy entry into the front and back seats along with being very well concealed.
ENGINE
Complete and ready to run R5P7 Dodge Nascar engine. This engine has been freshened and all it needs is a carburetor. Originally from Ernie Elliot’s engine shop, it has the best of everything. Sonny Bryant, Carillo, J&E, Total Seal, Jesel, Comp Cams, .937 key way lifters, titanium valves, etc… The camshaft has been changed to make peak power at a lower operating rpm to be more enjoyable for street use. This engine produced 768 horsepower @ 7900 rpm and 550ft.lbs. of torque @ 6700 rpm. It also made 557 hp @ 5500 rpm, 602 hp @ 6000 rpm, 702 hp @ 6700 rpm, and produced well over 700 plus horsepower @ 8900 rpm. That is an incredible average! This engine also comes with a brand new set of custom fabricated stainless steel Tri-Y headers with merge collectors.
TRANSMISSION
Freshly rebuilt 727 automatic transmission with manual valve body. No expense spared in the rebuild. Also included is an engine and flex plate adaptor to ‘’marry’’ the 727 trans to the R5P7 engine.
WHEELS
Front: Brand new Mickey Thompson Pro 5 wheels mounted on brand new Mickey Thompson 26’’ front runner tires.
Rear: Brand new 15’’x8’’ Stockton Wheel Company steel wheels mounted on a pair of brand new Mickey Thompson 275 drag radial tires.
BRAKES
Front: Brand new Strange front brake kit that includes lightweight hubs, bearings, rotors, calipers, pads and wheel studs.
Rear: Standard OEM drum brakes that are compatible with 5’’x4.5’’ bolt pattern.
SUSPENSION
Front: Brand new Overkill Race Cars chrome moly k-member, upper and lower control arms and coil over shock mount kit along with a manual rack-n-pinion steering unit. Suspension does still need to be finalized but all components are there. If new owner prefers, I will also include the original V8 k-member along with upper and lower control arms that are 5’’x4.5’’ bolt pattern compatible at time of purchase.
Rear: A-body 8 ¾’’ rear end that was custom narrowed to allow for better wheel and tire placement and has a 3.91 sure grip third member with Moser axles. Brand new Cal-Trac spilt mono-leafs with a brand new set of Smith Race Craft Max-Trac fully adjustable suspension bars. The rear portion of the leaf springs is mounted on a brand new set of sliders. A lot of time and effort went into achieving the perfect stance/ride height for this build.
THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW TO PURCHASE THIS UNIQUE ONE-OF-A-KIND BUILD! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
