1966 Plymouth Valiant Convertibl, Slant 6 Aut, 71101 showing on the odomete, I bought this car as a project but just do not have time to fix it up. The previous owner told me that it was restored in the early 1990's and was caught in a hail storm in the mid 1990's and was put into indoor storage until 2011 where it has sat in a driveway under a cover until a few month back when I purchased it. This is very solid project over all. I have unhooked the fuel line from the pump and ran a line to a gas can and filled the float bowl and after priming the oil pump this car started right up and runs good no smok, ticking or knocking, or blow by, I looked inside the fuel tank with a flash light and it looks pretty clean I was going to blow air through the line and hook it back up but have not gotten that far. The power top works good but will need to be recovere, The tires hold air but will need to be replaced and are not safe to be driven on. The driver side door glass is broke and will need replaced, all other glass is good including the windshield. As far as I can tell the car is complete except for the gas cap, air cleaner and radio. The driver side armrest is removed but is in the trunk and looks to be in good condition. The brake pedal goes to the floor and I have found one broken line that runs to the drivers side rear wheel. The rear floors will need some patches installed and it looks like the fronts have been patched at some point in time the rear frame rails and trunk look great and the pass side front looks good as well however the driver side front rail has some rust (see last pic)but I would just weld a patch on it if needed.Anyway that is a list of what repairs are needed that I have found so far and I'm sure there's probably more so this car is being sold as is for parts or repair and can not be driven like it is (maybe onto your trailer but I would not go any farther on these tires they are in bad shape). Sold with a clean Missouri Title in my name. Please take your time and use the zoom feature on each pic so you can see the exact condition of what your buying and please feel free to ask questions and for more pics if needed before buying. Thanks for looking This car is located 11 miles off of Hwy 370 in St. Charles Mo
