| New to the group, bringing a 1960 Valiant Suburban wagon back from the dead. The car and my wallet both were too far gone -- and I want to drive this regularly -- to bring back to original, so I am restomoding it. That means primarily that I am swapping the /170 for a /225, 3-spd manual for 4-spd/OD, front disc brakes, 13" for 14" wheels, power steering, custom paint and interior. I live in San Marcos (north San Diego county), but don't expect to see the car on the road any time soon. I can always use some help, if anyone is in the area. The car was originally a V-100 in PP1 red (which, according to literature, was not offered by Chrysler...go figure), now it's going to look more like racing legend Prince Valiant.

Location: So. Cal | Welcome. I have this '61 Lancer wagon a couple hours from you. Mine has the aluminum block 225. I am not thrilled with the carburetion so I am thinking of fuel injecting it. I have 15" wheels on it with the original Lancer dog dish caps.

Location: So. Cal | Yes, the 63 series wheel. The 69 series cop car wheel doesn't come in small bolt pattern. As far as I recall, the only ones available in small bolt pattern from them are the 48 & 56 series rally wheels, as well as the 61 series stock style.
I have a pair of brand new 56 series rally wheels in small bolt pattern 15x7 that I would sell at a discount if anyone would like them, but shipping is quite expensive for wheels. I don't know how Summit ships so cheaply, but I can't. |
