A friend told me about 2 Valiants at a guy's house nearby, which someone else told him about. They are sitting underneath a tree behind a barn, and have been there for the past 23 years.. We went to take a look, and took some cash.
One is a 65 Valiant 100 wagon, /6 auto. Tom (friend) is taking that one home. It's pretty rotten around the quarters, fenders, inners, etc.
The other, which I bought for $200, is a 66 Valiant Signet 100. It's a /6 auto, buckets with a column shift. It's white with a black roof, and all the fancy trim along the roof. It's the Canadian Valiant, which is the same body style as a 66 Dart. I know, pictures, I forgot. I'll get some up soon.
The funny thing is, the guy's wife ran it dry of oil 23 years ago, so they had the /6 rebuilt. They drove it another 2 months, and then parked it in the field when they got another car. I'll see if I can get the slant to run, and see if it will move under its own power, but since it's sitting about an inch off the ground (tires have sunk into the earth), I am doubting the underside is any good. It will probably end up a parts car.
