    Our Family we used to have a 1965 Plymouth Valiant we drove the tires off that car and it only had a 225 Slant 6 but those small engines were bullet proof you could always get them to run. That's a great find. Thanks for the video.

    This was exciting for me. My very first brand new car was a '64 Valliant 2 dr post with a 225 slant 6. Ah, those teen years. Great memories. I changed the hub caps out for "baby moons" and moved the shifter from the column to the floor, then jacked up the front tortion bars so the car sat like a "California raked" gasser. Thanks for the memories good buddy. 🙄

      @@bradzimmerman3171 thanks for the comment Brad. I was a kid just 17, when I got that car. Dad paid up the bill, and I paid him in full, incl. Interest, over the next 2 yrs. The hub caps were the first change, so it wouldn't look like I was borrowing my dad or mom's car. They would never put "baby moons" on their car. None of what I did to make that car "look mean" make It faster, although the Fenton floor shifter was spring loaded for fast 1st to 2nd shift. What great old memories. Cheers! ✌ P.S. the whole car, brand new was only $2,200.00
