Vehicle Description
This 1966 Plymouth Valiant is a classic sedan with an effortless
style inside and out. And as you dig a little deeper, you'll see
there are cool little extras that make this slant-six Mopar a lot
of fun for an affordable price.
We love this generation of Valiant because it showed off how
smaller cars could still have big style. The flat front end has an
imposing look, and the bright chrome bumper below has a gentle
contour. Along the sides, there's a crisply-defined full-length
crease that tapers just before each end. There's even full-length
trim just below that. And the rear says goodbye to the tailfin era
with a hint of blade as it melts into the step-down trunk. This was
an intricate car to produce, and so it's impressive just to find
one as complete as this one today. If you're looking for
perfection, you may update/upgrade the classic white paint, polish
the rear bumper, or other details that the value price allows you
to budget for. But overall, we like a traditional sedan that shows
its quality in practical ways, like how you can still close all
four doors confidently. And the upgrade to American Racing Outlaw
II wheels gives this a little extra flair while also giving you the
option for better cruising tires.
The interior continues the very classic style. This appears highly
original inside, and the level of the time capsule here reminds you
just how low the odometer is (and it's on an actual miles title!)
So there are some cracks and fading from age, but nothing looks
like it spent decades seeing in-and-out traffic. So you can
appreciate the classic two-tone blue on the wide bench seats and
matching door panels. The dome light still greets you, the AM radio
is there as a display, and the working heater makes this a nice
early Sunday driver. It all feels like the right car for those who
love a true classic. The only item that seems restored rather than
preserved is the nice carpeting.
The engine bay has clean inner walls to showcase Mopar's famous 170
cubic-inch slant-six motor. It looks great with the red block and
classic callouts on the air grabber. We love these six-cylinder
motors for their robust reputation, and it's easy to give this a
home garage tune-up. As you look over it all, you'll even spot some
newer investments in places like the hoses, wiring, and exhaust.
The Valiant was the budget Mopar offering, so you get the true
mainstream classic driver feeling. But this Plymouth also makes it
easier with its automatic transmission and good touring tires.
Complete with the original warranty card, it's time to get your
hands on a time capsule kind of Mopar. Call now!
