Plymouth Valiant 170 CID 6-Cylinder 1962
General description :
For sale in our Nashville showroom is a 1962 Plymouth Valiant. This 62 Valiant for sale is an incredible find and a welcome addition to our showroom. Just walking past this car takes you back to a simpler time when the cars we drove were not just modes of transportation but rather reflection of our personalities. This almost all original 1962 Valiant for sale is sporting the paint and interior that it left the factory with 56 Years ago in fact, I only say almost all original only because some of the soft items like radiator hoses belts and some seals had to be replace due to age. Under the hood of this time capsule is the 170 cubic inch slant 6 cylinder that was bolted in at the factory all those years ago. Still bolted to the 3 speed automatic transmission that is controlled by push buttons on the left side of the dash. This multiple award winning 1962 Valiant V-200 for sale has only had 4 owners and it is easy to see that each and everyone of them love and cared for this car. Just a slight twist of the key is all that is needed to bring the iconic slant 6 to life and while it does not have the thump of a high lift cam or the rumple of a header and large exhaust, it does idle with a note of confidence that says “let’s hit the open road and go exploring” So if you have a exploring spirit and would like to be the 5th person to have their name on the title to this 1962 Valiant 4 door for sale give the Nashville showroom a call. Options for this 1962 V-200 for sale include: AM/FM radio, Hub caps, Front seat belts, Cloth interior, Bias ply tires with white walls.
