I sold my old Camaro,
I bought a car I have wanted since I was a teenager;
a 1964 Valiant 2 door with the Factory V8.
here are some pics,I have done some work on the car.
These cars are rare,being a 'hardtop"and having the new for 1964 V8 option.
Its also the last year for the "pushbutton" shifter.
I had a friend who loaned me one of those for a few weeks when my car was broken down 20 years ago. It had a manual trans but was fun to drive.
So, I take it from your post you're going to keep this thing stock?
Not exactly,the car has dual exhaust,now,and;
I pulled the engine,and rebuilt it,put in a new cam,with more lift,
added a 4bbl intake,and small AFB 4 bbl 600 cfm carb.
I also switched to 14 inch tires and rims,/hubcaps.
The car new had 7.00x13 inch Non radial tires.
These are tough to find,and the easiest way to have the correct height tire,
is to go to 195/75r14,or as I did, 205/70R14 whitewalls.
If you look at the pictures you can see the changes.
