74 Valiant Sedan 408 Magnum

Hey everyone, I just put a post in the wheels/tires section and thought I would put up a few pics and info on my car and what its been through so far.

It's a 1974 Valiant, 78k on it. Came from the factory with a 318, 3 speed, 8 1/4 rear, large bolt pattern wheels. I bought it the end of summer 2007 after finding it on Craigslist in Rhode Island. Car came with every bit of paperwork back to the window sticker and original sales receipt. When I got it, it had a 360 intake, 4 bbl carb, cam and exhaust. Heres a couple pics of the day I drove it home back to NY.





A pic from the local drag strip at Mopar Day.




Heres a pic from Summer 08 at a local car show.



Late summer 08 I decided it was time for a power upgrade over the 318 and ordered a Magnum 408 crate motor to put in with a friend of mine. Heres one of the last pics from late October.




It got a little too cold too quick in upstate NY and the car had to go into storage for the winter. I just pulled it out last week and brought it home. Within the next week or so it should be running. Just have to put in the TTI headers, have an exhaust made and a couple other finishing touches and it should fire right up *fingers crossed*. So thats my Valiant, hope I didn't bore anyone to death with this and leave a comment if you like it. Thanks.
