This probably belongs in the gallery section but some of these cars no longer exist as whole units but live on in our current rides as parts and pieces. These are our '64 Valiants. The black and white ones are Canadian models and the green one (that's ours) is American. This is my pal Graham's '63 330, it is in the process of getting a 426 wedge cross ram, him and I will be racing against each other lots. I hope he likes how my tail lights look cuz that's all he's gonna see. Graham racing my Polara Two '66 Belvedere's that we picked up and made one that is known as "The Atomic Six" Here's a '64 Belvedere that we picked up with the intention of doing the awb thing too but it was too crusty. The roof is now on my Dodge. Of course my '64 when I first got it. and now '65 Coronet that I traded for my 330 Finally our race car. And my Polara pulling it.
Nice collection of wagons. Welcome aboard. The Valiant wagons are confusing me a little. Is it just me or the angle of the photo, or do the green and black Valiant wagons have the sedan rear wheel openings?
Holy crap, good eye. Wagon wheel openings are not available so I had to install sedan openings. I think they look way better personally. I don't care for the big radiused look. The white Valiant is actually a v-200 so it's trimmed out a bit better.
It does look good enough to be factory. Makes the 64 A body wagon look a little like a B-body wagon. Now I have another question. In 64, the Canadian Valiant sedans hardtops and convertibles used US Valiant front ends on Dart bodies. That means they had round tail lights rather that the vertical tail lights used on US Valiants in 64. The rear sheet metal was the same on Dart and Valiant wagons, so in the US they could be told apart from the rear by the vertical tail lights on the US Valiant wagon, and the round tail lights on the US Dart wagon. So which does your Canadian 64 wagon have? The round Dart tail lights like the Canadian 64 Valiant sedans, or the vertical tail lights like the US 64 Valiant sedans and wagons?
Canadian Valiants have the Dart tail lights (round) and look amazing on the little Valiants, the vertical lights always reminded me of a Nova. Other little differences are fender script location and the hood emblem says "Valiant" instead of "Plymouth".
...but what do my wondering eyes see appear... ....but my buddy Pat..and his 8 rusty wagons.... ... dont even care if it doesnt rhyme... Patty...glad to have ya back
It not only doesn't rhyme but there's way more than 8. Finding descent photos is the hard part. I was wondering when you were going to chyme in and dish out some **** & abuse. Alright, I get it, I'm a slacker and I deserve all the ridicule you can muster.
Very cool, especially the Valiants. I'm saving up for a 64, hope to have the money and be able to find a nice (or at least rust free one) by next July or August. I have a 64 V200 but the rear quarters are shot. Cheers, Ken
