Popular Post KrAzY Posted August 29, 2021 Popular Post Share #1 Posted August 29, 2021 My dads cousins husband called and talked to me for about an hour. He asked when the soonest I can come to Ohio and pick up the ‘60 Plymouth Valiant. I told him the soonest I can be up there is the end of September due to having to schedule off work. As we were talking about the new beast in my garage, he told me somethings I didn’t know about the Valiant.. first off. I never knew it was my Great Grandmother’s vehicle, she drove it a total of 35,000 miles or so. After he got the car he did some work and drove it around to the new total of 44,230 miles. By my calculations.. that engine is barely broken in yet after all these years. Looks like I need to make a little more room in the garage. 7 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growing up before I could even drive when there were family gatherings at his house. I would always find a way to get into his garage to look at the car. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
