For Hot August Nites you want A/C? Can't understand why Put 3 side draft webbers on that leaning tower of power. Just keep your head in the window or yer lips'll beat you to death!to the party, Jer
If I could find a rolled over AWD RT Magnum or 300C AWD, I would put the valiant on top of the AWD chassis. Then I would have an R/T AWD HeMi Valiant Wagon Woody!
How far you wanna go to get one? Sparks?, Vegas? Lehi, Utah?, Stockton,Ca.? Them little critterz are every where Man. Go forth and spend
Although my cars make me look like a millionaire, I am sorry to say that I am not. I left out that it would have to be an affordable one for the conversion. Affordable meaning under a grand
Nice wagon. You may not have the only Valiant woody wagon, but the others I've seen pictures of are later models from Australia (like this 68 Valiant VE from Australia).
Interesting concept to combine the AWD of the modern Magnum with the body of the 63. Not quite sure how you would go about doing it, though, since both are unibody cars, and very different unibody chassis at that. After all, the Valiant is the flower of 1960s American design engineering, and the Magnum chassis is the product of 1990s German (Mercedes) engineering adapted to North American tolerances. To adapt the mechanicals may be doable for a reasonable amount but to use the entire chassis sounds like a bit of an impossibility, since the sub=frame mounts and fire walls are so very different is size and configuration. Good luck, though. Sounds like a build thread is needed for this one. We NEED to see that as it happens!
It actually is. Based off the 'new' A-body that was sold in the US beginning in the '67 model year. Unfortunately, the U.S. didn't offer the wagon version like they did in Australia. Size-wise, it would compare to the '66/'67 Chevy Nova wagon - maybe just a tick larger than yours. Oh - and welcome to the SWF! Marshall
Really a great looking wagon! Yellow looks good on very few cars IMHO, this would be one...only because of the woodgrain sim. though..great choice and welcome!
