I love those 68 Hubcaps Jason .. I gave Dad a set but haven't found them. Thought he still had them but maybe not

Was it not rebuild-able?? What did it need? Did you save the whole car and strip out, or just pull smalls and let go?

It was rolled several times and not much of the body was salvageable .. Dad kept what was still good though and sold some stuff. I know he sold the console and buckets There's very few items left of that car

I have the 915 heads going on my R/T .. so it will live on

My dad got me into liking the Plymouth dog-dish caps. His 1 owner Stripper valiant came stock with them. I liked the bare bones look of that. The car was bought from the orig. owner a little old lady. He installed a 440. It was pulled for a built 360 setup. Had 1975 Duster front disc brakes, manual brakes, manual steering. Duster 8 1/4 rear end with 3.21 gears, and sure-grip. Car was built with 170 slant 6, radio delete, no ac, no power steering, heater only car, factory 13" wheels. When we went with the disc setup 14's were installed. 1968 Valiant 100.

Noob...

1st post....just brought home a '66 Fury III vert. I've been a Pontiac guy for some time, had a real quick black '68 Firebird, just restored a red '68 Firebird. Have wanted a vert for so long time, found this Mopar. My Poncho brothers have of course declared I have gone to the dark side. Have not done anything but change oil/belts and put a few dozen miles on it....man I gig this car!

That is extremely cool. I luv some plain jane sleeper cars. That shifter in there with nothing else says everything.

Beautiful! Was it a skirtless car from the beginning or did you add the rear wheelwell chrome? I've been trying to find a good set of those trim pieces.

Got more pics of it?

That car is almost as I found it with original top, paint and interior in very good shape. 80k miles and it runs great. I bought it from the original owner who kept it in the same garage it's whole life. It hadn't been run in almost 13 years. I put new shocks, brakes and tires on it. Charged up the AC and had some work done on the front end. The wheels look like they aren't original. I think they are rally wheels from "70 or "71. The car looks fantastic up close.

I love those cars. I had the 67 with a 170. Do you still have the car?

68plymouth383 · Jun 12, 2014

No. I wish we did. It was a ton of fun. My dad sold it july 2004. The guys that bought it put a 383 in it painted it black and sold to an oil tycoon. I would love to buy it back. Last I knew it sits in his shop unused.

Did you need special mounts to shoehorn that 383 in that?

68plymouth383 · Jun 12, 2014

Used the Schumacher mounts when we had the 440 in the car. The k member was changed from a slant six, to a v8 one from a 68 baracuda. The 360 bolted right in with no special mounts. Car was rust free. Even the orig vinyl top was in perfect shape.

That's a great story. It would be nice to get back at some point. Very cool car!
