Damn, that's pretty. And it was a compact! Amazing.

Are those the factory hubcaps? Because they're perfect for it.

Great car. Righteous condition. Amazing that even the dealer installed rub strip is still intact.

But the rust starting under that strip may take the whole body out eventually. Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease. Especially in California.

Awesome car- just needs more Sherwood Green Metallic and a peeling white vinyl roof..

I wonder if it's possible to swap the Space Duster/Dart Hang Ten folding rear seat into a non-coupe A-body? Then the owner could ditch the roofracks and jack his 318's MPG up to 13.1.. oil consumption of 1 quart every 100 miles will be a constant, however.

Jeez, yeah, when you look at one of these you can pinpoint the year MoPar sobered up (alas!) and detoxed, with the help of a handful of downers a day.

Don't get me wrong; I'd take one of these right now, no questions asked.

It'd make a nice sleeper with a 340 6-Barrel.

That paint is screamin' out for some NuFinish. "Look, you can even set it on fire!".

@Zarba: Why stop at 6? Twin four barrels, or better still, 4 dueces on a 340 would make a particularly Scampi (Scampy?) sleeper.

Since discovering the Australian a-body variants, I've wondered how a Valiant Charger compares, size wise, to it's North American Duster/Scamp cousins. Anyone out there know the length/width/wheelbase figures?

@SCROGGZILLA RAIDS AGAIN!!: Why? Why do you want to know that, mister? You planning something? You got something in mind?

@NovaloadMissesPolar: Not at this time........however.........IF the Powerball ticket in my wallet turns into a Christmas unlikelyhood, then my Hemi-6 R/T 6 Pack powered delusions will turn into a "plan".

@Tomsk the red-nosed reindeer: Yes, but I don't remember which editor, of if his Valiant Charger was an E38/E49 with the Hemi 6 and triple Weber Carbs, or the E55 with a 340.

Tangentally, here's a video of an Hemi 6 R/T with triple Weber engine pron.
