This is my 63 V200 4 Door Valiant. I bought it in February of 1999. The previous owner was selling it because he couldn’t run the AC without it overheating. The car had sat for about 2 years when he moved it out of storage and into his driveway.

This is my first project car. I basically purchased it to learn how a car works. I was tired of going to a mechanic and having them tell me that the tingamajiggie was leaky and it would be $300 to fix it. Oh and if I didn’t fix it, I was irresponsible, a bad American and I would die.
So here I am. I own a car that is sitting in someone else’s driveway and it doesn’t run. Oh and they sold it to me cheap, so I would get it out of their driveway. A friend of mine came over and helped me rig the carb so it would idle. The carb was missing parts. I also had to have the massive crack in the top tank of the radiator repaired.
After a couple of days tinkering, I had made it home.
On a side note. I got rear ended on the way to pay for the car. The other driver’s insurance company paid me the asking price. It was meant to be. And nobody noticed the scratches in my Neon’s bumper.
