Hi there and thank you for visiting my page. My name is Brittney and this is my 1975 Plymouth Valiant custom that came from the factory with a 318 V8. I bought this car from the original owner back in November of 2004. It had 38K miles on it, and now has 48K.

I am keeping this car as original as I can. Many people mod old cars, but they are only original once! It's not everyday you can see a truly original car like this driving down the road.

**Many people think that my Valiant has been restored, but it has not.  It is original!  It is currently sleeping in a warm garage for the winter.  I will bring it out next Spring!**

My Valiant is unique because unlike
most other 4 door non-brougham,
it has a stock 318 V8. What a sleeper!

Remember, I want to keep this car as true to original as possible. Even the hubcaps and the floor mats are original.

Here are some pictures of the front.

I've always admired the late Elizabeth Montgomery. On her 1977 brown Bentley she had a licence plate that said "BENTLIZ." Even though my Valiant is far from a Bentley, I wanted a plate like hers for my brown 4 door car.

Here are the sides. My Valiant came from the factory with no passenger side mirror (remember they were an option back then.)

I got this decal at the 2006 Chrysler show in Carlisle. Maybe it will keep people from touching the car.

These are the original hubcaps and wheels. I chose Cooper P794 tires.

These are before and after pictures of the rear springs my Dad and I installed. From the ground to the bottom of the bumper measures 19":

I bought a chrome skulls licence plate frame with light up eyes.
