Yepper its getting prety rusty underneath so that is all ways a concern

This thing is so dignified - reminds me of that kinks song, well respected man

It’s a rust bucket 🪣

This was the basis for my all-time favorite car. The 65 Barracuda. I've had an obsession with that car since I first saw it in 1965 on a turnstile and a big department store. To me it looked like something out of a science fiction movie, and since then I've had about, oh hell I don't know how many six, 10 maybe. I always wanted to completely restore one but I never totally accomplished it. Still in all I've got a lot of satisfaction out of those little cars. Greenhouse back windows rule!

Beautiful little car. Considering at the time this video was made it was well over 50 years old, if you rust spots are understandable. And that slant 6 as always,... Bulletproof!

Keep it alive! Good post. Mopar!

😮 ¡ UNO DE LOS COCHES MÁS BELLOS DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS !

¡ QUE BELLESA !

What a workhorse The Plymouth Valiant won the 1961 and ‘62 Daytona Compact car race but Chrysler’s were the only entry with an additional performance package, the rest came stock from dealers. The Falcons and Corvair’s were hopelessly out classed.

That is unusual for a Valiant. Sorry that the rust was not prevented by Ziebart.

Very sweet little car! Cheers!

Parents had 1965 Valiant 100 Station Wagon. 170 slant six. Three speed on the column. NON-synchromesh. Learned to drive on it. Family's first Chryco product after all Fords. When my dad finally earned some more money, Mom said to Dad "I never thought you'd hear this out of my mouth, but we should get a new car." It was the first car that didn't die on them. Love this car, John!!

Absolutely fantastic!

Realy "space age commuter" from the past ...

Here is an Australian Valiant for comparison kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaHadYujbLuCp5o

I had a 68 valient and I'm looking for another one soon

We always carried a spare voltage regulator in the glove compartment. They were good for about 3 or 4 a year!

Very nice. Don't change a thing on it.

My 76 Valiant was the worst car I ever owned. Terrible electricals, exhaust and other really shitty parts. Plus the whole body and frame was biodegradable, gaping holes in fenders. Horrible to start in the winter or bad weather (vapour lock). Clattery valves, ignition constantly in need of tuneups, poor performance, mileage, shitty handling, etc. A complete rust bucket POS. The earlier 60s Valiants were perhaps better but stay away from the 76 the last year this turd was available.

Sweet car. I always preferred v8s but would drive the Hell out of this one.

Why’s the speedometer 180?

jhi

I owned the first Barracuda!

Another rust-free Valiant! What is this world COMING to?!!

What a pearl! With that more than tested and accepted Slant six engine that many of us love! Greetings from Argentina.

Is that 4 speed original?

Elegant and classy looking like a full size Chrysler. Noticing that USA sticker on the back..could it have been stationed overseas in its youth?

I had a 1964 the 273 v8, then a 318 v8, locked out torqfite, cam, 4.56 rear. Painted lime green!!!😱

Weird why it rusted like that

How did the Signet differ from the others?

Beautiful! I have a 66 Signet 225.

How long have you had it? Do you have figures about performance with that engine and transmission - 0-60, quarter mile or top speed?

A '65 Valiant Signet, two door hard top, Slant Six, AND it's a four speed?!?! John, this is pretty much the car I've been dreaming about! I don't think I've ever seen one like it. Awesome ride!

Basically these were tanks with very light armor. Just keep the oil changed and they will out live you.

I miss my 64 formula S.

Good solid cars. When I remember the hell I put it through, none of the modern automobiles would have survived. Easy to work on, a little temperamental but, so was I back in those days!! Your car is really beautiful and it is the Signet version!

It's in pretty good condition.

Nice. That's a great car.

Sir what color is it

What is the color of this car?

We used to have one like that. Really nice car.

gorgeous car - really fun to drive and the slant 6 so good

Enjoy your gem.

Such a beautiful mopar sir. Thank you

i wishd id had some day 2 valiants 1963-1969 i would love to paint some day valiant

I had the same car but white in high school many years ago. It was a rugged little car! It was one of my favorites!!

Howdie from an Okie living in Japan. That's a shiny car! How is the gas mileage with the 170 cid engine on 4spd manual? Most of the other Valiants on KZbin have the bigger 225 cid six.

A very long presentation. ,, not a single word on classic Valiant ,,,, So ~~~ Is that for sale Oklahoma Lady???

Looks way better than my Valiant.
