Welcome to FABO!!! Sharp Car for sure, You are going to enjoy yourself here so jump in and have fun!!!! There are a lot of very knowledgeable people here.Again Welcome!!!!
 
Thanks!! Yes, I've been enjoying the site and y'all discussing for quite some time already. Just kind of quiet and shy. Need to get acquainted and got some tech questions later. Thanks and good to meet you!
 
Welcome! Your youtube video was quite an eye-opener this morning, thank you...your slant six has quite a bark and a bite, Valiantdogs. Glad to have you here and thank you for your military service.:cheers:
 
From the ad when I got the car some 10 years ago:

"Recent Dick Ott engine build with ported head, hard seats, dual valve springs, balanced, windage tray, stage 1 Mopar Performance cam, aluminum Mopar Performance intake and carb, 9.0 to 1 compression pistons, Dutra dual exhaust manifold, 11" disc brake front end with 340 Duster torsion bars, sway bar, 10" rear drums, new windshield, new urethane paint, new 904 transmission (less than 200 miles), bucket seat interior with killer stereo."


I haven't put more than 500 miles on it these past 10 years. Fresh valve job and Clifford headers this past summer, 2.5" dual pipes out the back.

Awesome looking car!

Check out slantsix.org too. There are a ton of slanters from Oregon on there as well.
 
Love the sound of an angry hornet /6!

Thanks and welcome,very cool Valiant!
 
Welcome!
Great car too!
Thanks for sharing... now I've gotta check out your video.
 
Wow, I was looking forward to the day she'd be ready for an intro here, an really appreciate the warm welcome... THANKS!! In some good company, too, quite some nice A-bodies here. :notworth:

I'm really happy with how this Dick Ott motor works and sounds. The headers and 2.5" pipes really complemented the already free-flowing head. Got the Super Six Holley 2 barrel on the Mopar Performance aluminum intake, and a brand new 2300 I'm working on getting installed. That will be enough mods for me. For now. :)

It's a really nice original car with 60,000 miles on it, always garaged. I'm the third owner. The last guy had most of the motor work done, and it was the original owners Baby. Just been really well taken care of. I've just been setting on it these last 10 years, not able to drive because of my disability.

I've been in love with the 66 Valiant since my first one, inherited from my Grampa in 76, my senior year in high school. Slant six 3 on the tree, went forever.

Also, thanks for the kindness re: my military service; it was my pleasure and I can't think of anything more gratifying than serving this country.
