I had the exact same car in High School. I could pile 10 friends in back and go to town. I hit a deer, backed into a guy at the bowling alley, got side swiped, and it was so rusted out the popcorn I was selling for FFA was growing on the floor of the back seat....most funest car ever. This video almost made me cry.

The major weak spot in the front end design of the darts and valiants is the idler arm bushes. Back in my early days of selling car parts I would sell a bushing kit almost every day. All the Valiants I owned had to have the bushes replaced. There used to be a bearing kit to replace the rubber bushes which was a much longer lasting repair.

On brake lines, the more room you have to let it twist without permanent damage, the farther you can loosen the clamping nut and the better chance you have of coaxing it to break free, so you don't want to hold the line tight like you did on the first one, but let it flex like you did on the second. It also helps to bang on it because shock waves break up the rust inside the joint. On the master too, it broke because you held it. If you had let it twist as far as it could without damage, and then tapped on it, and then sprayed it with penetrant. you probably could have saved it. Also, maybe not at that age, but you can often save brake and clutch cylinders by disassembling, honing or fine sanding or scotch brite etc. brake assembly lube, reassemble, and test for leaks. Trouble is new seals sometimes cost almost as much as new cylinders, but sometimes not too, and old ones can be viable if well cleaned etc.

I had a job in a car sales when the AP5 Valiant was released. I was either 17 0r 18 yr old. I remember I would do little wheelies in the Showroom. They were a great car when they were new. I can't quite remember all the details but I think they cost about $2500 (can't remember how many Pounds) Dollars didn't start in OZ until 14th Feb. 1966. I can remember having fun with the press button auto. Cheers

I agree with Patrick's comments, this car would be a great project to get finished up. How cool would it be to load the Family up and hook up the trailer with parts and take it to the auto swap meet. The lines on the wagon are awesome especially around the rear windows. Really enjoyed the video and the Family interaction. Thanks for sharing. God bless

I swear I passed two of these sitting at an shop near Waldo Florida today coming back from some military training. I could be wrong. But I do love these dart wagons

I love this wagon. What a great classic wagon. Beach wagons as they were known.

Years ago people used these station wagons for everything... Pulling trailers, boats etc... My wife and kids love the goats... :)

Lichens grow on rocks outdoors, and as far as I know, goats and sheep both eat it. Don't think it will hurt him. I was told when i was ralphie's age that the left hand thread was because the lugs would tighten if they were left loose. The ford diesel pick-ups were like that. I had a 1984 that had left hand thread on the driver's side. The cables and levers you picked up out of the trunk are self-adjuster parts

I have that same Harbor Freight engine hoists so far I have used it twice. Neither time to pick up and engine picked up two world war 2 Transmitters and loaded them in a truck. I remember when I was 8 or 9 years old I was helping my Dad bleed the brakes on our 1950 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 and I'm 71 yrs old now. Some things never change. Looks like Rocky has been busy with all of those babies running around. Thanks for a great video.

Seals All is the best thing to use on gas tanks!!! Metal or plastic! Fuel resistant. You can get it at any Dollar store. Around $3 or $4.00 for a big tube. Seals permanent. I've used it for years.
