One year in to my career as a mechanical engineer and driving and making payments on my first new car--a 1961 Plymouth Valiant V200 2-door hardtop. Bright Red, bench seat as no buckets until '62, floor stick and the big 225 CID engine and the toilet seat on the trunk. I considered adding the hyper-pak 4bbl carb kit but opted out because of cost. I got a speeding ticket in Nebraska on I-80 as I was headed to California for a vacation. I was seeing how fast it would go before I ran out of Interstate and went thru radar stationed on a bridge over the highway at 90+. Talked the cop out of it.

Hi, Kurt. I'd like to give you a free decode of this car's fender tag and, at least, the first four of the VIN. Example attached. Your car parked in front of Buffet's house? Rich B. A Nebraskan residing in CA.

Beautiful! I have always liked the 1962 Chryslers. A friend of mine has a '62 300 Sport (non-letter) in white. It has dual air conditioning.

I was 2 yrs old in LA County and figured out how to climb out of my crib, walk out of the house, leave the neighborhood, walk across a 2 way, 4 lane road into my grandmother’s neighborhood and house. My grandmother called my mom and asked if she knew I was there. They both freaked out knowing what it took to get there.
