Morning Tim.
Well. I went to see that '69 Valiant 4-door yesterday morning. I got a happy and sentimental feeling driving way out into the sticks....doesn't "Sandridge Road" sound like a place to find an old Mopar? About 10 miles outside of Dorchester, SC "the little town with a big heart." I pulled into a 3 acre compound with a church van on the property, 2 double-wides, a barn and a picnic shelter and smoker.
The condition of the car is unbelievable. The rubber flooring is perfect and the interior is a little dirty but no rips. The paper that lists tire pressure recommendations is still on the driver door jamb. The rear seatbelts were never installed, they are in their original boxes in the trunk. There is no rust other than slight surface rust under the trunk lip and the bottom edges of the doors.
Somehow gas is not getting into the carb. The engine fired with a little gas poured in. The owner is a Disabled Marine. A real sweetheart kind of a guy. He's not in good health and just doesn't want to keep the car. He is a retired school bus mechanic and says he's going to take apart the carb and get the car running. He's had it since 2010, only driven it 25 miles and parked it in his barn and didn't keep insurance on it. Was going to swap out the slant 6 but never got around to it. Says it drove nice and tight. Would start it and move it around his property periodically. 50k miles showing and I think that's accurate. The gas guage still works even. The shift linkage moved nice and easy.
The paint is all original except the engine compartment. It's an off shade of the factory color (F5.) I puzzled on this after I got home, and today a friend suggested the battery probably exploded. There was some weird dark scale on the front of the exhaust manifold which would figure.
The thing is, as much as I wanted to fall in love with the car, I just didn't! Could it be I am an early-a person? Maybe if I could have driven it, I don't know. Also I'm afraid I'll strain my budget with the extra expenses, insurance, etc. I felt bad for the owner showing me the car and I didn't get it. Maybe I'll have a change of heart. The car just needs a new owner who will take care of it and DRIVE it.
I'd appreciate any thoughts.

Just doing what I do
It's used in an automated wash and dry system that I designed for 625 lb baskets of stainless steel parts used in our custom manufacturing equipment. 2500 lbs of parts are put into 4 baskets using a conveyor and then the Fanuc moves each of the 4 baskets between washing, drying and loading stations
Sounds like the kind of car you want to "do right" and you would want to really fall for it. I can see how you hesitate if it didn't click.
Don't fret too much David. I'f you don't buy it, I'm sure someone else will. Quick Like !!
what bleeders you use?
The RED ones Tim !!
There. First one up. Fifty to go ...

Looks crooked and there is a hole in it.
If it doesn't send shivers up and down your spine, then wait for the right one. You will know the right one when you see it...
