Now for the "me" part.
I purchased this car on April 5th, 2009, for $900. I drove it home. It is currently equipped with a Mopar Performance M-1 Aluminum 2 bbl. intake manifold, Carter BBD, a 1977 225 Slant Six Cast-Crank engine, and matching 1977 "Peanut Plug" cylinder head.
It still retains it's stock exhaust, though I have a set of Dutra Duals for it already.
More information to come as I come across it! View Page 2 for all the pictures.
Thanks for looking at one of the few 1966 Valiants on CarDoman!
