1965

A couple of the 273/235 HP 'Commando' Valiants.

The 2-Door was is an automatic (D/SA), The 4-Door (back Valiant) is a very rare 4-Speed (D/S).

The 1965 Valiant 'V-200' with a 273/235 HP 'Commando' weighed in at #2714 lbs. (11.55 Wt/Hp)

1965 = D/SA....(11.30 - 11.88 Wt/Hp)
1966 = E/SA.....(11.30 - 11.88 Wt/Hp)
1967 = D/SA.....(11.30 - 11.88 Wt/Hp)

What were they running. The good ones were in the 13.60's in 1967.

In 1968, they were classed in H/SA (11.50 - 11.99 Wt/Hp)
