Read that Tim's fully capable and proven track Valiant is for sale. No sense trying to duplicate it when you buy it for fraction of the cost of building your own.

The " here " part in the post subject line refers to "I'm surprised there is no talk here in this forum that Tim's Valiant is for sale. "

No it's not listed for sale on Moparts. The car was listed on the net.

A link would be helpful, then. We can't discuss if we don't know details.

Didn't really want the thread to get moved to the Ebay / CL section.....since this is where this car being for sale is best discussed.

The entire list of modifications to the car is detailed in the CL ad.

Anyone have the link to the video of Tim's car being shot from the Ford Focus SVT?

Holy crap! If it's running and driving, I think I would actually buy a ticket to Oregon and drive Tim's Valiant back here for the price he's looking for.

I suspect it's running/driving. I saw the car on track several years ago. It was impressive then...

Yes it is running and driving. He drove it out of my shop a few weeks ago. The car will go 150+ mph if you're willing to keep your foot in it.

The price is dirt cheap. I have over $20K in receipts for the engine alone. The brakes and chassis work that I did a couple years ago was another $8K. Total cost to build that car is more than $40K as it sits.

Suddenly I have the sudden urge to board a plane tonight, make a car purchase, and drive 1000 miles back home just in time to make it to work Monday morning. If only...

I'd say it is one (if not THE) the fastest street Mopar on an road course with stock type chassis and bolt on locations.

Over the Green Brick or Hotchkis Challenger (lower HP, no cage).

IMHO, Consulier's 74 Dart Sports would/could be the car that could take it. Much more extensive/$$$ cage/chassis foundation.

I hate talking about the sale of it. I wish Tim could keep it. Or AndyF could get it and keep it with one of the creators/collaborators.

I feel like, if possible, this could be a moparts challenge? Kind of like Optima's but have a bunch of moparts people meet up and race.

So you going to flip it or rob the good/expensive parts off it for something else?

Hope you keep it for a while.

It's a lot of car to grow into. Tim didn't even get to run it much. I don't know if he ran it at the track at all with the new front sway bar setup. Or even with the new Milodon road race oil pan.

Do you have a Passon 5 speed? If so, that is what the car needs to really be a dual threat. Have Doctor Diff change the 2.94 rear gears over to something in the upper 3's, add the Passon 5 speed and that car becomes a fire breather.
