Hey everyone....longtime Mopar fan checking in. I signed up because I'm thinking of buying a 65 Valiant and am hoping to educate myself prior to making the deal.
If there is any specific threads here on buying tips, please let me know?
The car is a basic 2 door post with a slant 6 auto. I know it needs floors and frame work but the body, trim and interior all look ok. I've located floor & frame goodies at Auto Body Specialty, but haven't been able to find anyone who sells body panels for this car. I sense that there aren't a lot of parts out there for these cars, so I'd like to be very careful in this buy. Also wondering what the availability of run of the mill parts are like (brakes, suspension etc)
Do earlier A bodies share mechanical parts with the late 60's models?
Any suggestions regarding key problem areas would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Scott
