1966 Plymouth Valiant 100, *** 36, 889 original miles
This Valiant would be an excellent car for events as an original OEM
category listing and has received extremely high marks in this type of category
This Valiant is a daily driver, so milage will be higher by the time this auction ends!
Things that don’t work properly or mars on the
body:
Windshield washers
plugged. Motor/pump works fine.
4-7 door dings (see
pictures)
PR window door ledge
has 5-6 areas where touch up paint was used (see picture)
5.0 inch very shallow
crease in back PS quarter panel, underneath chrome wrap around bumper (see
pictures) Paint not broken.
(2) 4-7” inch tears
in front seat (see picture), caused most likely by the lap belt.
Chasing down a
flickering interior light. Appears to be
related to a ground issue with the interior light (loose wire, loose set screw or bulb)
A work in progress. The flickering
interior light is not related to the generator or voltage regulator. I am
hesitant to try and remove the interior dome lens as it may be damage.
DS upper door pin
replaced. Lower door pin should to be
replaced.
Original dealer “paper”
card missing.
Slight minimum bluing
on lower PS windshield. About the size
of a small elongated potato.
OEM cigarette light
works. Full element glows. Slightly used although no odor from
cigarettes.
DS arm rest lifting. Easy fix, glue it back down?
The steering wheel has two cracks, lower part of V
See last picture closeup of trunk area where enamel paint has a crack. This is an extreme close-up picture. Enamel crack/lift is about the size of a nickel.
Good things about this Valiant
All original paint on
car and tire rims. Original OEM hubcaps. 13” white wall tires road worthy with 30-45% treat remaining.
Original glass
throughout as marked on door glass. Front and rear windshields unmarked
(normal). Front windshield is 99% pit free.
Original 225
6-cylinder Slant 6. All numbers match to
original build sheet.
OEM Holly 2-stage
step down (cold start) carburetor works perfect. Pictures of engine and
compartment are not altered. In my
opinion, the engine and compartment has never been cleaned.
Original owners manual with
maintenance record history.
Original floor mats
and upholstery (inside and trunk) Except where noted above, all mats and
upholstery are free of damage.
Recent road trip
shows 22.1-22.8 mpg highway, 17.9-18.5 mpg city.
All interior gauges work. The fuel gauge always reads slightly lower
(1/8 low).
I would prefer to have this Valiant reviewed/inspected prior to sale. Skip the eBay folks and source a local mechanic for inspection (< $75.00)

Transmission is smooth through all gears and levels
This Valiant is completely road worthy. Bonner Springs, KS is about 45 minutes away from the Kansas City, MO. international airport. Fly in and drive it home.
