Yea it's kind of ironic "Mr. Numbers Matching Guy" is selling his only 100% #s car and buying a race car. Those who know me well know that as much as I love O.E. cars, I've been a racer forever too
See ya on the track!
Scott....that is what I was scratching my head thinking....isn't Scott a #'s matching guy....
You did call on the Viper brakes I sold last year though so I kinda had the idea the numbers thing is only part of the hobby for you.
All the best with the ownership and have fun with that Valiant that is what it was built for.

Yea, I've had a road race car in mind for quite some time now and a 67-69 Valiant topped my list (Green Brick style). It's eventually going to need paint, what do you guys think of the factory color red but in a satin finish as opposed to gloss? I was going to order a personalized plate for the red car today REDRUM but it was already taken

Think you will have it home and be able to bring it to the Mopar show in Spokane the evening of the 12th?
Disclaimer: I am in no way associated with the show, nor am I even a member of the club. I just want to see the car!
I have pictures of Tim's car that I found on the internet back in '07, always thought it was a great car and been very interested in it.

if your thinking of a satin finish you might want to look into plasti-dip. way cheaper than a paint job, and some of the effects they do are incredible. there is this guy on you-tube DYC (dipyourcar.com) that has all kinds of videos.

I think time might tell on the paint. It's patina is some of it's unique lore.
Run like it is. No need to complicate things now.
Don't know if it's even been on the track with new oil pan and sway bar???

Well I'm not against original patina but the partial trim bothers me, it would all have to be either removed or be complete. I also like a car to be one color and while it's mostly original paint it's been painted doors forward and the reds don't match so I think I'd want to deal with that as well. I am not looking to make it a show pony, just a bit cleaner.
Now I see the trim and paint difference. You'd probably be bugged with my Dart. You always do have an attention to detail.

Nope, not a bit, who am I to be bugged by YOUR car? To each his own, it's all good

Well, "if you owned it" is what I should have said.
