How many US members within our Forum with
61 & 62 models !!
I have a 1961 Lancer 770, 4door..
Drive it a lot. I bought it about 6 months ago. Runs great. Had a complete brake job done.
I'm retired and the car is my hobby. A pic is my avatar. It is now repainted and will post some pics next week.
170 slant, and love tinkering with this car.
I was originally looking for a '61 or '62 2 dr. hardtop. I found a couple nicely restored, but too much $ for a hobby car.
This one came up locally for really good price. Turns out the PO spent some time and money on it. Came with rebuilt auto tranny, electronic ignition, new carpets and headliner. New 13" tires on original rims, since replaced with 14" rims, tires, and '65 Coronet spinner caps. Looks pretty sharp.
Some projects for the Spring will be to replace the rear bumper, adjust and lube the widow hard wear, finish and detail the paint job, repair the speedi, and fiddle around. I can't wait for the weather to turn!
It's my hope that some of you guys will post abut your Mopars. As you know the '61/'62 Valiants and Lancers are a disappearing breed.
