64 Valiant Convertible

[Cudabnu]

Just picked this project to work on with my son and daughter. I've been out of Mopars for far too long. This is my first small block!
My Job is in old VW restoration parts, so time to get back to my roots!
I'm think Black with Black/Red interior.
Has a little rust on the drivers rear floorpan, but bought a great used section from a member (Thanks Lee!) And found the top of the header bow is rusted in the top corners, but will just clean it off and por-15 it as it is not structural where it rusted out.

Has a 318 bored .030 over, 360 heads, edelbrock intake and carb, 727 tranny. 7 1/4 rear end.

Welcome! Should be a fun project to share with your kids.

A great family project. Bon Voyage. I saw one of these where the guy put Barracuda grilles in the front end and used other Barracuda trim & emblems.
It was one of the coolest looking cars I ever saw. Think about it.

I've been keeping my eye on some early Barracuda Grills for sale!
