Seller's Description
Selling a 1968 Chrysler VE Valiant with a 273 V8 and power steering. I wanted to build this car in the way that I imagined that they should have been available as an option back in the day. The car was originally a slant 6 car with manual steering. Now it’s a 273 V8 freshly rebuild to commando 273 specs with high compression pistons, isky E4 cam, a rare Offenhauser intake manifold and edelbrock carb. The engine is cooled by a new alloy radiator and powered by a new pertronix electronic distributor for reliability. To top it off the custom twin exhaust with full length headers gives it that classic 60’s v8 rumble. The gearbox is a freshly rebuilt 904 Torqueflite with a B&M shift kit controlled by a hurst promatic 2 floor shifter. The interior has been completely redone including new ADR compliant seatbelts, carpet, upholstery, seat re-spring, dash and radio restoration. The factory radio works like new and runs through a period correct FM converter. The front end was rebuilt with new control arms ball joints etc and a completely rebuilt brake system with new brake lines, discs, overhauled master cylinder, calipers, rear brake cylinders, shoes and drums and a new booster. The car steers and handles beautifully thanks to a completely rebuilt period correct power steering system and new tyres front and rear on period chrome rims. Tyres are 215/60r14 on the front and 235/60r14 on the back. Cruising down the road expect to get noticed, the classic lines and sound of these 60’s V8 cars are getting rare and you will turn heads wherever you go. Beware, people will randomly approach you to admire the car and to tell you about they’re Valiant story. I’m selling because as life has it I just don’t have the time coming into next year to really drive and appreciate an awesome classic cruising car such as this. Now it’s your turn. What will be your Valiant story?
