When I was 3 years old through 8 years old, my aunt, uncle, and cousins from the Biloxi/Gulfport area of Mississippi had a 1967 Valiant "more door", bought new, as their family car. It was medium metallic blue, with bottle caps, one of the slant 6's, and 3 on the tree. I remember my uncle would frequently skip 2nd gear, and go directly from 1st to 3rd. Making a turn, he'd downshift to 2nd. They later traded it in for s brand new 1973 Gold Duster. It was dark brown with a lighter brown half vinyl roof. It also had a slant 6 (probably the 225) and TorqueFlite, no air conditioning or power steering (and again, they were in coastal Mississippi!). The Duster practically ran forever. The Dino's bark Mopar starter takes me back.
All slant six Mopars have a charm that no other automobile can provide. The 4 doors even add to the charm. I'd wash this down with simple green twice and then apply vice grip shine juice. Enjoy your ride.
That is awesome! How odd it has no power steering, no radio, stick shift BUT a full size horn ring. Note... if you turn idle down it will help with first gear grind
Nice, had a few Valiants back in the day, but being Australian, they (Chrysler Australia) ended up going there own way with styling, under the watchful eye of Detroit though. Locally made 1962-1981, engine plant online 1967 so plenty of aussie slants still around. Remember the torque of the slant on my grandfathers 1967 Valiant Station Wagon, would just lazily slug its way up dirt roads in top gear. Always remembered the illuminated rotating pentastar in the small country town I grew up in, but that went when Mitsubishi bought them out. Thanks for the post, from Perth, Australia, aussies dig it.
That’s awesome! Thank you for checking out my video! Love how many performance slant 6’s you guys have and how much you all enjoy them. They seem a little under appreciated here. It’s a sweet little car. I’m very much enjoying it.
I dont mind a 4 door at all ! Most of the darts i have owned have been 4 doors with the 6 and an automatic. My 67 was the same colors as yours. I had one yellow 69 that was a 2 door 3 speed and my Mom had a green 4 door 72 with the 3 speed . I also had a 74 duster once with a stick on the floor from the factory. # on the tree is super easy to drive. I like the look of the hubcaps over the wheel covers.
The four doors are nice cars. And often times better preserved than the two doors. I appreciate you watching! The dog dishes definitely changed the look. I dig it too!
I can't wait to see the build on the llama barn for autocross. What a fun driver and maybe the boys will get to learn with a three on the tree. My first rig was a 1956 Chevrolet Pickup with 235-6 and 3 on the tree. Have you ever had a car with the starter button on the floor?
I had one 4dr Abody back in 91 . A Dodge dart 270 with the push button controlled automatic. I've had 2 dart gt 1966 with v8 too and 2 Plymouth volare with 225". And some bigger mopars . These days i have a 66 chevelle Malibu 4dr .
I know I’m in the minority, but I think steel wheels and poverty caps are SO played out. Mopar guys put them on EVERYTHING. I just think they’re plain and boring. But hey, your ride, your call. If you dig em, that’s what matters
Not sure steelies and dog dishes can ever be played out but they are used a lot. For me, it’s hard to beat the simple classic look and they look better than factory full wheel hubcaps in my opinion. Not to mention I had them on the shelf and it sure beats spending a ton of money on new wheels and tires of a different variety. I can appreciate your opinion, but I’m a steelies and dog dishes guy all day long. Thanks for the comment and for watching!

I agree with you! Thank you! It’s a great little car. Hard to beat the charm of the slant six and the four door.
Man, that's in nice shape Ryan. Great addition to the fleet!
Thank you! I agree with you. It’s been a fun runabout lately. Very much enjoying it!
hell of a nice car, 225 or not it's still a Mopar!
Very true! It’s a super nice, simple ride. I could drive a Corolla, or a Valiant. I choose Valiant!
That is awesome! How odd it has no power steering, no radio, stick shift BUT a full size horn ring. Note... if you turn idle down it will help with first gear grind
I like this one Too! 😀👍 what a deal! 😮 did DDG do this one also?? 3 pedals is Always the Best Way To Go!! 😉👌. I like the little dishes myself🤔

Thanks for watching Soilsman! I have not had a rig with a floor starter. I can’t wait to get llama barn running either! It’s coming real soon!
Looks clean!

Cool car 👍
Thank you! I agree! Enjoying it a lot.
Practice high speed drag race style shifts, I'd love to see how you WHANG it up from 1 to 2 at high speed, then SLAM it down into 3!
Another sweet old car saved...😉
Absolutely! It’s a good one!
love it
