    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.

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.

    Short story about how powerfully sucky the Filter Queen is: I was visiting people in Vancouver, WA some 10 years after Mt. St. Helens erupted. I had a Filter Queen demo kit, including a filter insert just before the body inlet. They wanted to see the machine, so I showed them, with the extra filter in place. We cleaned most of the living room carpet, and then opened the pre-filter. There was a fine dust or powder, which I thought was that carpet “freshener” powder.
    The homeowners were sitting there amazed. I didn’t want to be judgemental about the use of carpet freshener so I waited for them to chime in. They looked at each other and then said: “We don’t believe it!” Turns out the fine powder was volcanic dust that had been at the bottom of their professionally cleaned and weekly vacuumed for 10 years carpet, and the Filter Queen brought out a whole bunch more of what no other machine could get. A powerful vacuum for sure.

      In my youth, I tried to sell Filter Queens one summer. They really are good, but man they are expensive. The demo never put any substance on the carpet or anything, just relied on sucking up existing dirt.

      @@defaultuser1447 given your experience, imagine how it felt to sell 3 in one day - something I did twice! My closing average was 67% overall and I also trained the sales reps for the branch. Good, but greasy times. The people that stick it out can be rough around the edges. I was a sales pro from a few different industries hired to build the sales force up by the branch owner. At that, I only lasted about 6 months.
