1963 Plymouth Savoy 2 door post , the moulding is a look a like the previous owner painted on ........but i found a real Fury on kijiji i may try to get the mouldings
I found a '64 Dart when I was 15, perfect condition but for a little rust around a bumber bold. Little old lady car, 225, auto with the park lever on the left side of the dash. Rubber mats, plastic on the seats except it had station wagon rims all round, never figured out why.
Anyway my Uncle Joe & his brother Teddy were Plymough/Fargo guys all their lives, both lived in Niagara Falls N.Y, They found an old wagon with the small hemi, said when I got my license I could take the car to Ted's garage, swap everything & drive home a sleeper. Problem was my Dad made me sell the car to one of his co-workers the week before, seemed the guys wife was 8 1/2 months along and they had no car. Dammit.
A year later I found a '66 Valiant Custom with a Super 225, drove the wheels off that car. Wouldn't mind an early Dart, Savoy or Fury today, even a '66 Valiant. All nice cars.
great to read your story .......i think we probably all have little story ,my first car i got was a 1964 pontiac grande parisienne and boy did i have dreams for it ...i bought it for 80.00 dollars the engine was blown but i didn t really care ...problem was i was still living at my parents place so he didn t like the idea of an extra car in the back yard so he found a buyer i made a little profit sold it for 125.00 but really i didn t real care much about profit grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr i wanted the car ....i saw the car back on the road a couple weeks after grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
there s a 66 valiant for sale on this site on the boards
you're killing me here, lol. I'm currently watching a '65 Valiant/Barracuda. Yeah, I know, a what? Seriously, it's a '65 Barracuda (registered as Barracuda) but has a Valiant front end - came from the factory that way. Guy that owns it knows what he has though.
A few shots of my '55. I bought it from a fellow in West Virginia and have had it about a year and a half. The engine that came with the car grenanded last July 1st while my wife was driving it. So it went from having a 355 to now having a brand new G.M. Performance ZZ383 crate motor.
Just recently sold my 65 Valiant Barracuda. I'm pretty sure the Valiant name meant it was a Canadian car. No Plymouths in Canada prior to 67. We had Valiant as a brand and the U.S. had valiant as a model(I think). Don't have the room or the funds for multiple prjoects. Currently working on my 50 Plymouth. Just rewired it for 12 volts, dropped in a used flathead to replace the blown up one, discs on the front and a 5 speed T-5 from an S-10.
Originally had single pot master and nine inch drums all around. Just about adequate enough to stop a bicycle!! The master is a mid 80's mopar piece and I put 10 inch drums on the back and 11 inch discs on front all from mid 70's Dart/Duster. By the way Grumpy those cars look downright mean. Love em both. Funny you should mention Ford solenoid I just finished putting one in my 50 Plymouth.

raff, did the Valiant come with a fruit-jat master or the dual I see there?
chances are it is a modification not to many cars had dual lines before 67 ......... and not Valiant had a Ford starter switch either lolllllllll but this is still a nice clean engine bay
