A noted Mopar Restorer with a few high-end Muscle-Car Resto's under His Belt goes out and buys a 1-Owner '70 Valiant 4-Door Sedan...and gives it a Concourse 'Day-1' Restoration. He paid $12-K for the Car,and spent just over $100-K on it :o! The Car,after it's rebuild is still actually worth about $22-K :o. See the March Mopar Action Mag. I alway's wondered when someone would restore a /6(or ANY Straight Six Car...)Car to Museum quality. ~J/W.

Re: Mopar Guy goes even MORE extreme........
Ever since Mopar Muscle did that article on finding "other" bodies (GASP!) the Mopar sheep have gone to the different pastures...the A body being first.Editor-at-Large at...well, here, of course!
"Remy-Z, you've outdone yourself again, I thought a Mirada was the icing on the cake of rodding, but this Imperial is the spread of little 99-cent candy letters spelling out "EAT ME" on top of that cake."

Re: Mopar Guy goes even MORE extreme........
Actually,the Car recived 99.9 Points in it's class..the HIGHEST in the history of whatever show/judging/event it was in,according to the artical. WHY didin't it recive 100 points? The origional Door Handels didin't come back from the Chrome Platers in time for it's first show,so reproductions were installed beforehand :o. The correct 'Handles are now in place :D. Car is Black with a Blue Interior(just like my own '69 Nova 4-Door...),and actually has 'an 8-3/4 Sure-Grip w/3:23's.....rare for just about ANY Slant-6 Car. ~J/W.

Ten years ago junkyard dude wanted $20 far a battery tray after I took it out(real bitch). >
I handed it to him and said no charge. :
Ironic that 15 years before that he had a 340 and flite for $250(ran and low milage) that I wished now I would have popped for. :P
