My father in law had one of those, it went well over 300,000 miles before I rebuilt the head on it. Then my brother in law had it for a year and it went to the salvage yard. He doesn't know how to check oil!

Sounds like we have the same worthless,useless piece of camel dung for a Brother in law. My half sister and her husband are the king and queen of moochville. I would like to have a dollar for every car or other item that has been given to them to help them out. I don't know how many cars alone they destroyed by not checking oil or just keeping it up. I am not for abortion but in his case post birth abortion would be a good way to fix him.

Gee Willy a little bitter.......
I feel the same way... A city bus should run over them then back up to make sure it was done right!

Not a bad looking Valiant
First car I had was a 64 valiant same setup 225 six 3speed button shift.
That little car did good on gas but it had a thing about sticking in 1st gear every morning.
Used to have to get it up to around 35 - 40 hit N cycle the keyswitch and punch it into D.
If I remember correctly those little cars will hit 60 in 1st if your pissed enough
Cool car Jeff good luck with it.

Good looking Valiant...
My first car was a 63 Belvedere with 318 and torgueflight push button. I had more fun hopping it up and got in more trouble with that car.
Enjoy...

That blue car looks like a Dart with a Valiant front end. I friend of mine had a Valiant in high school, I think it was a '64, but the rear end and tailights were very different from that car.

my grandpa has the same year belvadeer, body is preety similar,,weird ride if you ask me,, I'll tell ya my 223 has way more juice than that plymouth 225, it supposed to have more power than ford but to tell you the truth she is preety guttless,, the ford has her beat every which way,,
kinda fun to drive though, needs a little pimpin but she will work for now,,
the three speed auto impresses my buds with the push button in all, I get the same,,(push button,,no shit???) reply every time,,
