I think the idle is perfect

My very first car...in 1965...was a red V200 with a 225 and manual trans. That car took a beating from a 16 year old kid, and just kept going. Used to carry a 2 gallon can of Gulf Sapphire 30 weight, and a gallon of K-mart anti-freeze, but I loved that car, and I'd have another in a heartbeat...if I could find one!

I was always put off by the open slant 6 design where all you have easy access to is the exhaust manifold on top and your distributor and plugs are buried below on the other side! My dad drove one of these for years and I recall him buying "a Dollar's worth of regular" gas, which was 4 gallons which lasted all week at least!

I’d love to see some cold start videos of you starting up your carbureted cars and trucks from inside showing us what you do with the gas pedal to get them started. What a cool channel!

I want to see this car at No Name Nationals 2024

Been a long time since your last post... you gave up on the 400 ? Looks good and sounds even better.

How much power is that 426 making?

Oh that's totally bitchin.... I've been contemplating a RB cam for my crossram hemi...can you share the specs?....sounds TITS....

Idle seems high but sounds great

Sounds badass!

Lee and Richard Petty had this body style for 1961 Daytona 500. Lee went over the guardrail with his and Richard wrecked his in the qualifying race. They both missed the 500.

I had one in my youth with the floor shift. Been in the hunt for one for quite a while!!!!!!!

Growing up we had a 61 Plymouth station wagon with 8 kids we needed the room for traveling! My loved that car.

What you have is a `61 Valiant V200 2 door hardtop, 1 of 18,586 built. I have one that sat for 38 years before I brought it back to life in 2014. 170 /6 was standard with the 225 /6 becoming optional mid year `61.

one clean machine ! love these old B bodies . i have a '66 Belvedere II myself , currently building a 440 hp for her .

The designers at Chrysler back then must gave been heavy drinkers. Lol

In 1961 I was 10 years old. I was down at "the station" with Grandpa and saw a brand new purple 4-door version of this in the showroom. My Uncle Roy was half owner of this Mobil station, and also a Plymouth dealer. I remarked to Grandpa that he ought to buy this ca. A few days later, it was in Grandpa's driveway! I thought he must have liked my advice, but probably he had ordered it and just did not tell me that. I think this was the last new car he bought from his brother, as by the mid-60's the auto companies had weeded out the little dealers in favor on one dealer per county. That is what I heard, anyway. How does a memory 60-years old like that still remain? Good luck with your Savoy!

No wonder it was hard to start first time around! Nice job

The first generation Valiant is no muscle car. Nor is the '61 Savoy even with a 361.

Cool car. I just saw its sister at the Turlock Swap Meet in January. 1961 2 door post Dodge Seneca for $2100.00. I wished I had the room because I wanted they car. The car was in great condition for the money.

Please don't change the front end on the Savoy these cars were so unique and awesome they deserve their own look

Ultimate 2 door post car: needs a cross ram engine!

I went to look at that car when it was for sale on marketplace in 2019. Glad some isn't going to part it out. I see someone changed the hood. It was kinked when I saw it

I was raised on Chrysler products and all I can say about the Savoy #$%&×. I did like the Valiant/ Lancer. I really think the recreational drugs started around this time.

I have one of the 1961 valiant engines that came out of a 1961 valiant r series wagon

Learned to drive in a '61 Plymouth Fury 4-door with the 318 Poly. Imagine the fun in having to parallel that between two other cars at a metered parking spot. Those are absolutely cool dashes and the speedo is quite unique. Loved the car and wanted to restore it. Sadly it was sold while I was in the marines.

I really love the 1961 plymouth savoy u got, would u sell it to me?, I'll buy it!

Always loved the Exner styled/influenced cars.

He sure didn’t want to lose to that rice burner👍

We bought a 1960 Valiant with the 225 six. It ran pretty good, but I mainly remember the radio sounding like it was full of bees when you turned it on, before it warmed up. It was the red color that yours used to be...

Virgil Exner must have had some pretty wild dreams.

My folks had a 61 Plymouth savoy wagon, same color. It was the first car I ever drove on the road legally. Not a fan. Now that Lancer, now yer talkin. Incredible car. cheap, one of the 4 I owned cost 15.00 and I drove it home. slant 6 3spd. on the floor. cruised at 85 on the freeway. loved it. be nice to see either of these run n drive.

I had 62 Valient. But seen millions of these growing. Up.

These base models were probably used as Police cars. Taxis. Etc. !@!!

the engine is '75 or newer. these is a good tune to do before putting it to the road, all the brake circuit should be redone , it is unsafe anyways

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎😎

Yes, it is!

Slant six never dies if it does get one out of a combine. Good buy .

Check for vacuum leaks around the carb to see if that is part of the rough running issue also.

You have just one week.....sounds like something I would attempt.

Please upgrade the Savoy front brakes to discs. Scarebird makes a kit, but you'll need 15" wheels. These cars are notoriously under-braked.

love the slant six engine

Not that it matters but I think the valiant is a 60

They are unibody I had the back end of a 59 Plymouth gran fury brake off after I jacked it up for the owner been sitting for years

really nice car well done on that find .....

I love all six cylinders, not just slant sixes. Even flat heads! That valiant? looked like it had challenger seats in it maybe.

Is it ugly? To Ward Cleaver it wasn't. I could do without the mediocre styling so typical of Dawn Of the Sixties Mopar, though.

I'd love to have a cool old Savoy,2 door like that.

Those are cool, the early-mid 60's "B" body Dodge and Plymouth's. 👍
