It's the Leaning Tower of Power, the Chrysler 225 Slant 6. There's a trick to removing the back seat, you go to the middle of the seat and then 5 inches over from the center both sides..you can start on either side and push down hard on the front of the seat top while moving it forward, there are two catches that hold the seat in place, depressing them (the whole frame) is what frees them then slide forward....
I agree it is a slant 6. However, you need to check the VIN for the engine code. The 194 cid slant 6 was standard on Valiant and Dart. The 225 was an extra cost option. Speaking of options, this one has the remote controlled mirror on the driver's door.
As a musician myself, I appreciate the music chosen here. Its refreshing to hear some really good piano from extraordinary musicians ( instead of the usual rhythm- box 1-chord repeating stuff). I play jazz in my own videos as well.
I got 3 plymouth valiants 67, 2 door. 68. 4 door, 72, 4 door. I love these cars easy to work on parts are cheap great gas mileage. Just a fun little car. The poor man's cruisers
Great car to find. The Valiant V-100 like this was the base trim level. Without having watched the whole video, Im going to guess Margaret is a parts car. The front end is sagging. That usually means one of two things. Either a torsion bar has broken or the cross members that locate it have broken. The latter is common. The front cross member tends to crack. Caught eatly there is a gusset available to reinforce the cross member. On that Vakiant, the round key does the trunk lid and, if equipped, the glove box. The 5 sided key does both front doors and the ignition. In the early 70s and before, that was the normal way cars were keyed. I see it had the remotely controlled mirror on the driver's door. Not hugeky common. I can't tell from the video, but on a base Valiant like this, do not be surprised if pushing on the wiper knob does not make the windscreen washer work. Base equipment was 2 speed electric wipers with a foot pump for the washers. To get electric washers the 3 speed wiper option was needed. There are two possibilities for the engine. Base equipment was the 194cid slant 6. Optionally available was the 225 slant 6, both with single barrel Holley carburetors. I see there is no power brake booster. That means either 4 wheel drum brakes or unassisted front discs, which were the first step up. Vacuum assisted front brakes wete the sevond step up option. I don't see a power steering pump, so that means you likeky have the slower of the three steering boxes. The middle one came with the power steering option. There was an ultra fast, unassisted steering box, but that is very rare.
Marge has a 225 slant six. These usually outlast the vehicle they came installed in, so I bet it will run like it only got shut off yesterday. One of the longest lasting motors ever built. A one owner car I only wish it had not rusted out at all. The interior speaks of the condition it should've been in. RIP grandpa & grandma.
I have a 68 Valiant 100. They are great cars. Mine originally had that 2 tone blue interior. I switched it to black when I restored it because I wanted bucket seats.
Bingo, the handheld steamer is a must have for this kind of work. It also works great to heat up leather conditioner/cleaners which use collagen. For collagen to work as a leather cleaner/rejuvinator, it needs to be heated so that it's 3 molecular strands unwind causing a capillary effect that floats dirt out of the pores. This restores the elasticity of the leather and keeps it from breaking apart at the cracks. . More than you probably wanted to know but there it is. I think I want an undercarriage dolly for my sprayer now. That's a great idea.
I had a 1967 Plymouth Valiant with the signet trim package. Slant 6 225, the greatest engine America ever produced. The car was perfect inside and out. Perfect interior, not a spot of rust anywhere. One dent the size of a dime, that was it. But I needed rent so I sold it. The first guy to look at it actually tried to talk me down. I said, man I can’t haggle on this, I need 1200 to cover my rent in one week. He still tried to wheel and deal. Eventually he paid 1200. If he hadn’t crashed it two weeks later he could easily have made 5k profit. I hated to see it go but the other option was to live in it.
Slant 6 engine. One of the best motors ever made when it comes to longevity and reliability. Run it out of oil and it just keeps going like the energizer bunny.
On these the ignition key fits the doors, unless someone has changed the lock cylinder, the round key fits the trunk, have had many over the years, am currently driving a 72 4 dr valiant
I've got a "Near-end" '76 Valiant sedan that was given to me. 318, HD cooling, HD suspension, 12" rotors, handling package, certified speedo..it's the funniest, clean old "Malaise" Mopar I've ever had.
Nice find here. Looks like a car a friend I know has a car like this. His is a 1972 model and was used by the United States Navy as a recruiting car. The recruiter would go to high school or college campuses to look for new prospects. Also used to take prospects to the reserve training center or MEPS to take the ASVAB test, or MEPS for physical examination and to ship out.
I daily drove one of these in 1985 - 86. It wasn't mine but a mate's car - for some reason he lent it to me, I forget why! It was a "Chrysler Valiant" in Australia (where I'm from). The slant six is one helluva motor, it's quick off the mark and keeps going all the way up to the top speed on the clock, don't ask me how I know! The one I drove was actually a wagon and for some reason it was bright orange...it had a brown interior, I guess the blue wouldn't have gone with orange.
I find when doing over older cars like this one in a similar state , I use a soft floor broom after power washing, it cuts the paint and removes the blemishes out , then I use the mitts to go round afterwards, also a horse hair banister brush is fantastic in the door jambs
These cars were basically business cars for companies like Orkin and such. I bought a '68 Dodge Dart set up the same way. That 225 slant six ran exceptionally well and had plenty of power for what the car was built to do.
I can tell right off the bat- the torsion bar mounts are rotted. The wheels sunken that far down into the fender tops is "No bueno." The destroyed quarter bottoms, fender tops & forward sections, and the vinyl floor covering (the wiper pivot seals go bad, let water in and then it gets trapped between the floorboard footwells & the vinyl, destroying the floor)...the car is very, very rusty to the point you probably can't drive it
Cool car. For a beater. Been sitting in the dirt. Not good. Maybe worth 1000 or less. It’s a more door. All I could see was junk being blown all over nice cars. You need a curtain. Black wall looks depressing. Hopefully floor good. Nice job. Good luck. 👍
Being just a slant-6, moredoor Valiant, I'm afraid it's a parts car... The rear quarters are gone, and judging by the sagging front end I suspect the torsion bar mount/crossmember on the floor has rusted away too.
Yes exactly, it will be sold as only a parts car. But do did have guy come look at it and he's a fabricator and says all spots are repairable. He might buy and get back on the road
Yep, it is repairable for sure, and there are panels available but probably not worth it economically. But hey, does it have to be? :) They dont make more of them, so any old car that is saved from the crusher is a big plus in my book!!
mi padre tubo uno igual en uruguay , era de interior en el mismo color y azul claro la pintura ,creo que era su color original , muchos kilometros en el y tambien muchos recuerdos ( sobre todo cuando nos reiamos de su cara cuando cargaba conbustibe ) era ,al igual que este ,automatico y nada economico para mi pais

Nice detail. Won't be worth much even restored. The front shock towers look broken , lots of rust. Cracked up at the Ziebart rust-proofing sticker in the back window. Didn't seem to help much! Should be a $1,000 flip.
@@DetailDane There's still enough there to warrant the car being restored and used as a daily driver or a grocery getter. These cars were built as cheap business cars and weren't made for luxury.

@@DetailDane Nah, the brake and fuel systems need sorting out before Margaret would be road worthy again. The 225 A will be an easy restart as these engines are virtually bulletproof.

While I can come up with the cash to buy it, I don't have a place to park it right now. My apartment complex wouldn't take to kindly to seeing it parked here in it's present state. Still a good price for a great find.

No but I guess if you had enough money you could. But that would be cool
