A LITTLE INFO I LOOKED UP ON WIKIPEDIA
The Valiant was extremely popular in the US, anada, nd numerous markets outside North America. Plymouth supported a successful team of Valiant two-door sedans in the 1965 and 1966SCCAManufacturers Rally Championships.
The Valiant was totally reskinned for 1963 with a 0.5in (13mm) shorter wheelbase; it had a wide, lat hood and a flat square rear deck. The upper belt feature line ran from the rear body, n a gentle sweep, o the front fender tip. Here it was 'veed' back and down to the trailing edge of the front fender. The roofline was flatter and sharpened in profile. The grille was a variation of the inverted trapezoid shape that characterized contemporary Chryslers, ith a fine mesh insert. Advances in body structure, any accessories and a new spring-staged choke were promotional highlights. The Valiant was offered as a 2-doorcoupeorhardtop, 4-doorsedanand astation wagon. The hardtop and theconvertible, ith manual- or optional power-operated top, ere offered only in the high V200 and premium Signet trim levels. The optional 225cuin (3.7L) slant-6 engine was initially offered with the die-cast aluminium block introduced in late 1961, ut early in the 1963 model year the aluminum block was discontinued; both the 170 and 225 engines were thenceforth available only with iron blocks. In December 1962, lymouth's first-ever vinyl-covered roof became available as an option on the Signet. The 1963 Valiant was much better received by the public, nd sales for the year rose to 225,056.[19][20]
Building on a worldwide record sales success in 1963, he Valiant moved into 1964 with design changes giving better economy, eliability and performance. Changes in the 1964 Valiant included a restyled front end featuring a new grille with a horizontal bars. A "Valiant" medallion was placed at the center of the grille where the bars formed a flat buldge. Verticaltaillampsreplaced the previous horizontal items. The ring-style rear deck decoration was replaced with a Valiant script located at the right-hand corner. There were few styling changes in the 1965 Valiants, ut the 1966 Valiants had a split grille with fine-patterned insert; new front fenders; new rear fenders on the sedans; new bevelled-edge rear reck lid; heavier rear bumper; and a new roofline with large backlight.
The new Chrysler-built A833 four-speedmanual transmissionwas offered together with aHurstshifter. Another new option was theSure-Griplimited slip differential, hich was touted as a bad-weather safety feature and also offered traction benefits in performance driving.
