someone needs to do there homework:read2: in canada there where two types of valiants, the ones that resembled the barracuda, and the one that looks like a dart. note how that one says plymouth across the hood?. The one in my profile picture is a canadian 66 plymouth valiant as well. not as nice as gasjockey101's though

It is a Valiant as sold in Canada. I think that '66 was the last year that a US type of Dart was sold in Canada with the Plymouth Valiant name on it. Like the Viper was never sold in Europe as a Dodge it was a "Chrysler Viper" as Dodge ws n't marketed much outside the US.

well the good news is the were likley all built in Hamtramck and you can search google & ebay for dodge dart parts and they should fit........ guess I need to visit windsor more often

Nice Valiant. I had one very similar to yours - a Custom 200 '66 Valiant four door I bought in Canada and drove back to USA. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the hood does not say PLYMOUTH, but VALIANT, same for trunklid if trunk lid wasn't in primer. In fact there's nowhere on car that says PLYMOUTH. My research says Canadian Valiants did not say PLYMOUTH on them so they could be sold at either DODGE or CHRYSLER-PLYMOUTH dealers in Canada. Kind of like the 1960 Valiant in USA, which was not badged as a PLYMOUTH for the same erason. It wasn't till 1961 the Valiant became a PLYMOUTH VALIANT in USA, mainly to have Plymouth Division get the benefits of Valiant sales figures! Neat MOPAR different stuff from the Great White North - such as only in Canada were there Dodge Monaco convertibles - and slant sixes available in Monacos.

looks like a MOPAR.. I was so carefull but still got the rust too. The patches are easy to get. The trunk on the other hand..
I cant seem to find a trunk floor.
