Love it. I've had a 63 Valiant Signet for 36 years: non power steering and 3 speed column shift. Knee knocker aftermarket AC. First week I had it driving home from Yuma to LA I stalled it in traffic on the transition to the 101 Fwy due to a slight grade. It sat for a week after I got it home before I got up the gumption to try again. Must have gotten the hang of it, eventually. Going out today to buy some ice and take a drive. Great videos. Your Uncle Phil is a trip.

that valiant reminds me of a '65 plymouth fury i bought for $75.00 in 1975. everything stripped down, everything manual like this valiant, a slant 6 engine and 3 speed manual trans. you almost had to put a cheater bar on the steering wheel. drove that clunker for 3 yrs, put 50,000 miles ( had 75,000 miles on it when i bought it- ~ 125,000 when it was sold, todays cars do run longer than then )on it and resold it as a parts car for $50.00 in 1978, a michigan car with too many winters and rusted out from the salt. i was in my early 20's then so driving the car w/o power steering didn't bother me or working the clutch then in stop and go traffic. had to work on it some in those 3 yrs but it got me where i was going and to work. i'd be like uncle phil in it now with back and leg troubles. enjoyed your video. the sound of that valiant brought back a lot of memories of that '65 fury.
