Got a '74 Valiant

[bordin34]

Today I got my new car. It is a 1974 Plymouth Valiant with a 318, the odometer reads about 17,000 miles and I dont have a reason to believe it turned over. This thing is a creampuff, factory undercoating and no rust at all. The only thing that has been done to it is a dual exhaust and a repaint sometime. Even the emission stuff is still hooked up. This thing is so slow it cant get out of its own way and handles like its on marshmallows. I should pick it up on tuesday. It will keep my 73 Charger company.

Welcome to the club!! Nice car you got there, post pictures of the Charger too. What are you going to do with the Valiant?

My plans are it to basically do nothing. I will replace the belts, hoses, rubber fuel and brake lines, and a front sway bar.
Some Charger pictures

Welcome to FABO. You're going to have fun here.
Nice survivor Valiant! Love the 'grandma' look - should be pretty easy on gas. And nice Charger as well.

I drove it home today, an hour drive. The car ran flawlessly. It still has the original hoses and belts.
Look what I found between the seat.

Great Find!!, Maybe you can find the Build Sheet!, I found mine behind the back seat, I'm still EXCITED!!:cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers:

"must be returned upon transfer or termination" ...uh oh.....
Did that car belong to Homer Simpson. LOL

This may sound very stupid but, how does the front license plate mount? It looks like the plate should go almost into the bumper but it doesnt fit.

welcome, nice cars u have there. I'm not sure about the license plate mounting. It's different on my 70 Dart.
