Expert 5K+ Posts: 8446 Location: Perth Australia | Very loose interpretation though Sold by Chrysler corp, but not really designed with the fl theme in mind Just a stop gap until they made the valiant, wernt they? | ||

Expert Posts: 2482 Location: Dalveen, Queensland, Australia | Nothing to do with the Valiant... In Australia it was a big-selling model, considering the size of the market for that size car. It was replaced in Chrysler's Australian range by Hillman (Minx, Super Minx, Hunter, Arrow) when they took over the Rootes Group. The Simca and Rootes acquisitions were nothing to do with Chrysler Australia, but the marketing opportunities they gave were advantageous. | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 8446 Location: Perth Australia | The guy is selling some plymouth stuff on ebay, thats how I tracked down the pictures Do a search on it, theres more Sort of inspires me to do similar (not full drag car like that though) to my fury, the painted bumpers dont look that horrible Tubs and the like are kind of frowned upon by the authorities here (in WA, most of the east coast get away with more) for street driven cars And having a 4drht then putting a cage in it kind of kills the pillarless design a bit Be cool to have it wheel stand like that though | ||

Expert Posts: 1231 Location: York County, PA | Talk about a rush, the seat is like a jet fighters seat, you kick the peddle to the metal and hang on. I been there with 11s. 5 and 6s is fast but when you can go a 1/4 mile in 3 sec. from a dead stop is a rocket. Edited by ruchaven 2016-02-12 12:16 PM | ||

Expert Posts: 2007 Location: Branson, MO | I too can relate to the 11's. Hopefully I can attach a pic of my '67 GTX taken in 1968 just before selling it. What a shame but we all have 20-20 hindsight.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE The 1955 "Brooks Bros" Plymouth sedan. WOW! I wonder how it did on the track. I know '55 Plymouths had issues getting traction due to a relatively lighter weight. What an amazing looking car! | |||

Too old for that and it would be way too expensive. I did think about just getting a '67 Satellite (or even a '66) with any engine/powertrain, cloning the paint scheme and putting race looking tires on it just to drive it around......but that's all I did.........was think about it. Got too many other things to be concerned about now. Here are a couple of pics of a 1/18th model my boys had made for me for my 70th birthday a few years ago.

Location: Parts Unknown | One of my direct connections to being a Mopar fan early on ... my best friend lived across the street from a family with TEN girls (and no boys !). They ranged in age from about mine (6-7) to maybe 20 ? Anyway, one had a boyfriend who bought a new 67 GTX convertible .... baby blue, black top and interior, with a 426 and a 4-speed ! His name was Dan, and he would let us sit in it while he waxed it in the driveway while the girls worked on their tans. This manifested itself in me to really like the B-body Mopars, and I took to favoring the Dodges even more than the Plymouths. Still have my 66 Coronet !

This manifested itself in me to really like the B-body Mopars, and I took to favoring the Dodges even more than the Plymouths. Still have my 66 Coronet ! Oh my! I love the styling, and once had a '66, but it was a hardtop with slant six and no power anything. I bought it in '81 from the original owner for $300, but the amount of bodywork needed did me in. (I lived in Montreal at the time, where any car over ten years old was rare.) I sold this and bought a '66 Satellite, with 383-4 for $500. The dual exhaust had to be replaced, so new pipes with crossover went in with turn-downs ahead of the rear axle (legal in Quebec at that time). What a lovely sound. I used to go on the highway and wait for unsuspecting Corvettes (which at that time had the looks but did not the power) to pass me, and then I'd keep up with them and pass them, much to their annoyance. Had power steering, but the non-power drum brakes were rather disconcerting. My then-wife loved the car, and we reluctantly sold it after our move in '84 to Toronto and no place to store it. Sigh... | ||
