I got this car on the cheap.. Already mini tubbed with the springs moved in, rear end is a narrowed 8 3/4 not in the car yet as they wanted the ss springs off of it before I got it so they through the 7" under it to roll on..

Has subframe connectors already installed, fiberglass 6 pack scooped hood, v-8 k frame and a bunch of extra parts.. needs passengerside front fllor pan half installed but they already cut it out and gave me a new one to go in it. They have even already installed a 4 point roll bar... he never got around to doing the door bars and I am good with that as I dont want them anyways.

Plans are to put the 8 3/4 under it on the stock springs with a leaf or two missing so it will have a good low stance, put a 325/50 under it as it has 14" of room in the tubs for a tire. I have a 318/904 sitting in the shop that I am going to put a 396 stroker kit in with some x heads.. A good solid camshaft and a converter with some single chamber flow-masters at the axle..


Low fat tire car that should sound great... I do not ever plan on racing it just a nasty little street car..

Color will be bright silver... Here is a pic of the old car..

It looks like you got a lot of fun coming your way. The low priced cars have a place in this hobbie,
 
Yea this one was only $200 like it sits with the narrowed rearend and all the spare parts to include dash, wire harness seats everything...
 
You ought to be in jail for stealing that car! $200?
Great deal!
It's gonna make a great little street car. Here's a pic of the '68 Valiant my club, Inland Mopars, built as our charity raffle project car in 2008. '68 Valiant with a 400" big block, 727, 8-3/4, RMS AlterKtion front and StreetLynx rear suspension. Sure was fun to drive and hated to see it go to the raffle winner.

Nothing is going to be A+ on the car but maybe a good B -.

looks like a solid racecar man. Its a shame your not gonna race it but a steal for the price. Great find. good luck
 
I've been debating getting a beater A-body that doesn't have any sentimental value for a D/D. I was thinking "race it out" so I wouldn't care about the interior and junk. I'm following this one now...
