Well, hot damn, I was pretty close on it.
 
Thanks guys.:toothy7: Does the shipping order #80 means the 80th Plymouth made that year or does it mean that its the 80th Valiant made that year? What could it mean because thats a pretty low number?:dontknow:
 
What's you Val's v.i.n. read ?
I'm just curious as to whether or not it's :

- Built in L.A.
- Built for Calif ( the C.A.P. deal )

Is it VL21B75****** ?

I believe that stands for "Cleaner Air Package", which I think was a California requirement. The 00080 is pretty meaningless. The six *'s in the VIN tell what number it was off the line.
 
Heres a shot of the engine bay. As you can see its missing the carb. And is that a 2 speed or 3 speed windshield wiper motor?
