Used 1962 Plymouth Valiant

1962 Plymouth Valiant Panel Restomod

The Valiant was introduced in 1960 by Plymouth as their entry into the compact car market that began emerging in the late 1950's. They were known for its durability and reliability which propelled it to one of Chrysler's best selling vehicles during the 1960s-1970s. In fact, "Road & Track" magazine considered it to be "one of the best all-around domestic cars" available. We haven't listed a ton of these over the years but even out of that amount not a single one comes close to the beautiful 1962 you see here. At first glance people assume it is a custom but those people would be wrong. Now it is a custom in the sense of being a restomod but the all steel panel truck body is the real deal. Many will argue that it is a modified station wagon but that is not the case. A limited number of 62 of these were produced and special ordered for the Michigan Consolidated Gas Company. Due to their niche market, production was stopped so only a few made it out to the world. This has been verified by multiple Mopar enthusiasts who agree this is the only example of one of these panels that still exists. As if having this rare machine wasn't enough this car has been transformed in to a stunning show stopper restomod that turns heads wherever it goes. Even if there was another panel out there somewhere it is no where near this level making this car truly 1 of a kind. It is a multiple award winner where the trophy it takes home is more often than not, Best of Show. That includes Mopar specific events like Mopar Heaven and the Mopar mini nationals. The body is laser straight with zero rust, damage or issues whatsoever. It is painted in a beautiful PPG Vibrant Candy Apple Red that is so slick it almost looks like it hasn't dried. That was then packed with Gold pearl that glistens in the sunlight. The car almost changes colors depending on the lighting and your viewing angle. Our pictures don't do it justice and it is so gorgeous it secured the car the spot as the PPG Dream Car at Goodguys. The car really does knock you off your feet in its presence and nobody can pass by without taking a closer look. All of the chrome work is incredible and has a mirror like finish. The glass is all perfect, tinted and both side/rear windows are power operated. It has an excellent aggressive stance with a slight rake and is riding on beautiful Coy wheels (17in front, 18in rear).

If the exterior doesn't have you drooling already then look under the hood. The heart of this incredible machine is a 5.7L Hemi V8 fuel injected motor that runs extremely well and has no problem turning the BF Goodrich G-Force tires. This is literally a car that has no weaknesses. Best paint, best engine, best interior, it is worthy of them all. Various components on the motor have been painted to match the body with the exact same care and attention to detail. The inner fenders and firewall are all slick and specialized fasteners can be found throughout. This build is over the top, everywhere you look. The car roars to life with the touch of a button and sounds perfect through the custom X-pipe exhaust into chrome tipped 45 series Flowmaster mufflers. Underneath the car is gorgeous with a custom powder coated RMS chassis. The motor is paired with a 5 speed automatic transmission to transfer power back to the narrowed 8.25 inch Sure Grip rear with 3.55:1 gearing. The car runs nice and cool with a polished radiator, electric fan with shroud, a polished overflow tank and custom hose ends. Under all four corners are Wilwood slotted disc brakes and braided lines were used throughout. Other nice mechanical features include the custom polished gas tank, serpentine belt system, QA1 coilovers, tubular A arms, AlterKation K member and more. The list goes on and on. Everywhere you look on this beautiful machine is a noteworthy feature deserving of attention.

The interior of the car is absolutely gorgeous
