Best time 12.72 @ 108 mph circa 1977.

1965 Plymouth Valiant four-door sedan 273 V-8, no heater/no radio/no power steering/no power brakes (8 3/4 rear, four-speed, headers, aluminum intake, scattershield, frame connectors): 2960 pounds.

That girl is the middle reminds me of Catherine Bach.

I wonder how the pre-1966 differ from these @ moparmall.com?

I know, a '65 Barracuda, but I like the 195/70R-14 and 235/60R-14 look on it, namely: not too big, not too small (w/rallye wheels), so I thought I would share.

I chose my bracket car color from a new Cadillac that pulled into the Chevron station to fill-up back in 1974 "terra cotta firemist". It's always best to chose a color on a sample vehicle, not like I did one time from a paint chip in a reference book.

Looks like excellent results, but what exactly is a "cut and buff"? Sorry, just not familiar with the terms.

Poor thing:

I have mine made from food grade stainless steel at a shop that fabricates restaurant equipment. First foto '72 B Body, second foto '65 A Body. I make sure they fit by drilling the holes myself.

Jim cancelled my last order because he did not want to ship to Mexico. I called him and told him in ten years I have never lost a package being sent here. So he decided to ship the order after all. Everything arrived safe and sound. He is the only source I know of for many of our Mopar...

I recommend a firewall brace. I ran one from one of the master cylinder bolts to the shock tower. In the foto you can just barely see it (a black tube right below the master cylinder on the right) going behind the fenderwell header.

I have had 3 small block '65 Plymouths, all with ball & trunnion.

Oh, no! Please let us know what happened to your car in Napa, this could be a very sad story, or perhaps a time for jubilation (if it was spared). Was the Max Wedge available from the factory in a convertible model or was this a transplant? Thank you.

I know my '65 Plymouth Valiant and '65 Plymouth Barracuda had the ball & trunnion u-joint from the factory (now converted to slip spline). What did the factory 413/426 Max Wedge cars use for u-joints/driveshaft? Thank you.

Wing and nose in the works (see avatar):

I always abhorred the intrusion those factory hoses made in the engine compartment, thanks for the solution to my long-standing dilemma.

You probably won't want to do this, but I mounted my coil on the firewall when I used the TM-6 Edelbrock Tarantula.

The replacement (generic) sockets I purchased did not fit. I was able to replace the reverse lamp sockets, but the others were a no go. For now, no choice than clean up the old stuff best I could.

Something I am curious about now: if the air shocks make up for an loaded/overloaded vehicle, how could it be any more strain on the suspension/mounting components when used when unloaded? Less weight would mean less stress on things, right? I think we are all guessing here. Is there an...

My street legal bracket car from the 1970's "Valiant Effort" 273 four speed did 12.72 @ 108 MPH. I sold it in 1980. Today has a big block, chute, and doing 8 second ET's.
