Dosmo Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 The owner acknowledged improper bodywork on the LR quarter panel. One repaint, updated interior, etc. I really liked it. Seemed to run quite well, although there is a noticeable exhaust leak. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge28 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Very nice car. The 60 t0 64 G M cars are my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reicholzheimer Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) I remember when the Valiant hit the market. I was 11 years old and bought the model to build. Back then new models were promoted at the dealership before release. Edited March 9, 2023 by Reicholzheimer (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

28 Chrysler Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 62s Mopars were not the easiest on the eyes. I had a few Dodge and Plymouth cars but the 62 Dodge D100 was the best looking. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Wayal... looking at them 60 years later, they're not as jarring. At least they have some style, as opposed to the blowtorched bars of soap currently prowling the roads. Valiant and Lancer were popular here. Two neighbors had Valiants and my 4th grade teacher had a Lancer. Course when my 6th grade teacher showed up in a 68 Cougar XR7 all bets were off! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalowed Bill Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I love seeing a survivor especially one not often seen. At a car show or a cruise night I get a bit bored looking at the same thing all the time. I sat here trying to remember the last time I saw a 62 Valiant. It's either my memory going, and that's a given, or it's been so long that I can't remember the last one I saw.☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgreen Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I'd drive that AND park it in my garage. (providing I had room, which I don't) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid, there was no car I wanted to see less than a '62 Valiant. Today, there's no old car I'd rather see more in a parking lot than a clean '62 four door Valiant. Go figure. Thanks for the pics, Dosmo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Bond Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 My Dad bought a new 1961 - black with red interior. It was the first car I had the ability to take out on my own with girlfriends. It had the new 225 Cu In Slant Six in it and push=button transmission. I really liked that car and wish we'd kept it in the family. But by the time it was pretty tired and had caught the dreaded "Michigan rust" disease, it was time to trade in for a bigger and beefier Pontiac! Someday I'll find another Valient. Hopefully, it'll be a black with red interior tow-door. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58L-Y8 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 The 1960-1962 Valiant styling was far too sophisticated for the price segment into which it was sold. The styling should have been assigned to either the Imperial or at least the Chrysler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
