Popular Post KrAzY Posted September 25, 2021 Popular Post Share #1 Posted September 25, 2021 Made it up to Ohio yesterday, Solon area this afternoon and now back to my parents house. from what I was told.. no one in the family knows it yet, but the car is leaving one family meme we and moving to Texas to be with my family from now on out.. not like many of them will actually notice it is missing. My aunt thanked me for taking the car, and getting it away from her husband.. lol he has been caring for the valiant since the late 70’s early ‘80’s. He is happy that it is coming to someone that will care for it and loves older cars. 8 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Longjohn ★ Posted September 25, 2021 Popular Post Share #2 Posted September 25, 2021 Drive carefully. It’s going to take a Valiant effort to get that car to Texas. That car looks really good. Two of my high school buddies had Valiants and they were already all putty from rust. Had good times with them though. 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a little bubble under the paint, but I’m not too worried about it just yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those bigass grills are sort of back in style, as are sculpted bodies like on the rear fenders. And too bad there are paint bubbles because I like the sky blue color. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the paint codes and will have it matched when the body is good and smooth again. I’ll also need to reinforce the driver side floor panel, redo the carpet and throw away the aftermarket seatbelts. I’m not about keeping safe as much as I am about the originality of the vehicles. 9 minutes ago, Wilbur said: It was but I really like it. The end of the tail fin era. I wish it had the cat eye tail lights. But these are just as cool. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur ★ Posted September 26, 2021 Share #19 Posted September 26, 2021 My 68 Cuda had the "Valiant" label on it. I think the first Baracuda's were just fastback Valiants with the 318. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrAzY Posted September 27, 2021 Author Share #29 Posted September 27, 2021 While I was outside unloading about 10 cases of root beer I brought back with me out of the truck (Cant find sprecher sodas in Texas)... One of my neighbors slammed on his breaks, jumped out of his SUV and screamed "What The F MAN"... I laughed.. guess I'm not the only motor head in this hood. He has been looking for an older car to restore.. told me it's not fair I get two and he has none. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted October 1, 2021 Share #34 Posted October 1, 2021 I always had trouble driving through puddles and the tires splashed cold water on the distributor which was located on the leaning side of the engine.
