I have to say I’m impressed…after a vacation with the family, for Brian to come back and think of me when he is writing about a car he found online for nearly $70,000…well, I have to say I was touched by his thoughtfulness and generosity. Then I saw the vehicle he chose for me, and I spent the better part of the day wondering what I did that wronged him so badly that he wished that on me. Seriously, dude? Is this about that thing in Vegas? I’m sorry, okay? A guy can only apologize so much!
But maybe Lohnes was just still in the haze that affects people when they go to the land of talking mice, so let’s bring him back into reality for a moment: Dude, you don’t need to spend $70K on me! I was only able to find you this 1964 Plymouth Valiant for $3,500! Sure, it’s a little rough and whoever modified it managed to somehow make it even less appealing than the standard car was, but you get a built-up small-block Chrysler (claimed to be a 318 punched out be a 340), a 727 Torqueflite, a roll cage, and that neat shifter! It’s also mini tubbed and has had trailer lights grafted into the cleaned up rear end for that customized look! I know it’s rough, but you’ve owned rougher cars than this…remember the Javelin?…and I think you know how to give this forlorn Plymouth a good home. Merry Christmas, boss!
Craigslist Link: 1964 Plymouth…Valiant?
(Thanks to Scott Liggett for the tip!)
Built, not bought!
Such a sad flat face……
After doing meth..
Think the shifter and tach cost more than the whole car… Just sayin
I was going to say exactly that about the shifter. Are the \”headers\” plumbed into the passenger compartment/coffin? Poor thing needs to be put out of it\’s misery.
Who in their right mind would pay even 3 cents for this sad heap of shit is beyond me!
Are you guys moving into the emetic business because this thing really makes me want to puke…
Do these people even TRY to make their look good??? WTF???
This guy really liked the shifter position on the old vans.
as a young boy arnold would fabricate his own toys from cardboard boxes…
About the only thing that is worth any money on the car is the shifter and tach, other than those pieces I’d junk it.
Nice job of mounting the tach! If one drove while lying in the middle of the back floor, it would be perfect….
At least he started with a 4 door.
At least the owners description is totally incomprehensible!
Judged by all those cobwebs under the hood this thing hasn’t move for along time. FAIL!
Just curious, did a 4 year old design the car?
that is utterly weird. Remember those cheesy 80’s movies with the chase scenes that always involve driving thru cardboard boxes? This one looks like it got stuck in one and the old school snorkel scoop just adds to the boxy vibe. I dont know if I’ve ever seen a car that was so different in its look front vs back. Looks like 2 different cars were grafted together…
alrighty now, just how much deeper can y’all go before hitting bottom….
