Almost done by my father in 1970, a nice little street-sleeper, he wanted to take my mothers 1964 Plymouth V-100 Valiant station wagon,
red-colored with the push-button transmission. Re-do it with a
Keith-Black 305, and tunnel-ram, and Vitar transmission. I think it would have been classed in F/MP.
The plan, was that the Corner Deli was only a 1/4 mile away, and my father figured that my mother could get there in 11.50 for the fresh
Canoli's on Sunday morning
It still would make a nice sleeper, minus the tunnel-ram.
Paul,,,,Keep the hits coming!!!

Paul,

It's funny that you would mention the Valiant wagon.

When I lived in New Jersey we used to go to Langhorn Pa for the races and to look at the various used car lots. One time we went over and I was looking at a Galaxy 500 427 R 4sp car and my girlfriend said "Isn't this cute" and parked beside the Ford was a '65 V200 wagon with factory 273/235 and 4 speed. I dismissed it immediately, looking at the big inch stuff instead, besides, what High School kid wanted a stationwagon?
