looks like a good start, but it def. spent some time in the sun haha
 
Now, that's a cool car and I'm sure pretty rare because of the 273/4 speed/ 2 door post/ combo. Congrats on your ownership and I will look for your progress. Toolmanmike
 
Talk about fun. Nice find. I would love to find one around here with a 4 speed. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay?

too much ($5K) but only 82 4 spds were made with the 273 commando (also its a pilot car) :toothy10:
 
COOL FIND !!

You state that it's a Pilot Build ; got pics of its v.i.n. ( lower "A" Pillar , in doorjam ) ?

Back in '68 - '70 , a friend's dad had a '67 Signet 200 , factory 273 Commando / 4 speed / 8.75" 3.23 ( warranty replacement , as it originally had that piece-of-**** 7.25" job ).

The other cool thing about his Signet ? He added those Kelsey-Hayes "recall" wheels to it , in early '69 (!!) . He had a 'connection' at the local Plymouth dealership ;-/
 
its VH21E72100020

:toothy10: N-I-C-E ! :toothy10:
Looks like it's car number 20 off the Hamtramck line ; late '66 build :cheers:

V -Valiant
H - Signet
2 - 2 door
1 - sedan
E - 273 four barrel , 235 h.p.
7 - 1967 model year
2 - Hamtramck ( Detroit ) Mi "Dodge Main"
100020 - car number 20 :happy10:

Looking forward to watching its progress from an 'Arizona Raisin' to a 'Phoenix Rising' :clock:
