    This would be a cool little vehicle to restore, or modify, with a 360 and whatever else you want.

    Gotta love those old Valiants. Gotta love that slant 6 too. But, yeah, a 360 in there would be nice!

    Great car, they were also introduced down here in their time & from memory they looked exactly the same. Sadly, almost impossible to find now:(.
    What is craigslist ?

    GMW...craigslist is an online classified site that people can advertise anything on. Lots of cars on there. Most people put an ad in thinking that someone local to them will inquire and are astounded that people from all over inquire. None in Australia? I believe the site addy here is craigslist.org

    I often listen to alot of US talkback radio, and really only heard it mentioned in passing. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before it will be the vogue down here.

    Back in it's day Valiant was ranked about #3 in the Auto leaders down here, It was sad when they left our shores.

    I just love that body style. I can't remember was Exner doing that for Chrysler back then?

    I've been known to love the ugly and strange.:rofl2:I've said it before I like Pacers too.
