I love the color. It’s one that’s rarely seen. I remember a kid in HS had a 340 4 speed in the same color back in 84-85. I always loved it!

Thanks.
I have the original split bench for it. I have to replace the bottom seat springs which I got from Crackedback a few years ago. To redo it in the proper Signet upholstery will be custom work like when I had the back seat done. I threw in the Procar buckets that I got with the 95 Dakota I parted out for the F.I. 318/46rh combo that I'm gonna put in the Valiant.
I'm just lacking time
and motivation.
