Hi, I am looking to sell my wagon. It's a 1963 valiant wagon that I built to have a 60s drag race vibe. I completely went through this car mechanicaly. I rebuilt the front end with new bushings. The rear has new XHD leaf springs from mancini racing. New shocks all around. It has bias ply front tires on skinny mags up front, and hurst cheater sliks on 15X7 steelies out back. It has a new fuel tank with new hard lines and a sump welded in. The front was sapped to disc brakes from a later a-body, and the rear has drums. The car was rewired using an EZ wiring harness. The front floor pans were replaced, and subframe connectors welded in. It has an msd ignition with boost timing control, Hurts Lineloc, Autometer wideband air fuel ratio gauge, powermaster alternator and flexalite electric fan.The engine and transmission were both rebuilt, as was the 8 1/4 rear with auburn suregrip and 3:55 gears. I put 7,000 miles on the car with a naturally aspirated setup. (offenhauser intake and holley 390 carb) This thing ran like a top. several 400 mile road trips with no problem. Then I decided to do the supercharger, I had the supercharger rebuilt by superchargersusa in southern california. Then I made the adapter plate to bolt it to the slant six. I got it running decently, but never really fine tuned it. Then life got a little busy and it has sat for the last couple years. I only put about 100 miles on the car with the supercharger, I took it to a couple local shows, but never got it running perfect. I also wasnt getting boost, and was told i underdrove the supercharger too much, so after using a formula on holleys website, I purchased another pulley which should make around 5 lbs of boost, I entered my old setup in the formula, and it indeed came out to something like .014 boost. Even with no actuall boost reading, The car ran noticably better, It was just using all the pressure the blower was providing, and not building any up in the intake to read on the gauge. There was no bog even with the holley 600. The transmission leaked a bunch of fluid the last time I parked it, so I put a new TCI deep pan on it, and that seemed to fix it, But I think the pushbutton cable needs to be adjusted because it shifts into reverse when you put it in neutral, and goes into neutral when you put it in drive. There is no heater in the car, or carpeting, I never hooked up the windshield wiper motor either. The stock speedometer and gas gauge are hooked up, but I did not hook up the ammeter or stock temp gauge, It does have moon volt, water temp, and oil pressure gauges, as well as autometer tach and boost gauge. The front bench is original and worn, the rear is original and in nice shape. This was just meant to be a fun toy that turns heads. Its not crazy fast or anything, but does get a lot of attention. I never did any bodywork on the car. The quarters have bondo and rust, But I will include a clean set of wagon quarters the I got off a dart wagon. I also have a spare grill and a nicer front bumper and spare rear bumper. In the pictures, there is a holley 600 on the supercharger, Right now I have an edelbrock 500, as it was suggested the 600 was too much, but i will include both, The hood is rough cut for the holley, And doesnt fit the edelbrock, so I ended up just not running it, but it is included as well. I also included a picture of the car when it didnt have a supercharger. This car was also featured in Cartech's America's coolest station wagons book. Hopefully this car will catch someones eye and they will finish it and enjoy it. I think it can be a really cool car, I just dont see myself getting to it anytime soon and could use a little extra money and space. Let me know if you have any questions.
