Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 1972 BMW 2002 4-Speed out of Single Ownership: Desirable Round-Tail Light Model with Chrome Bumpers

[Rick Moseley (ramosel]

What year was your Dad's Valiant?

I never really got along with my real sister, but my "chosen" sister got a white 66 Valiant Convertible, slant 6, push button transmission, when she turned 16 in 1975.  She kept it all the way through Medical School in Tennessee.   I bet that car made at least 10 cross country trips.  I think she put over 300,000 miles on that car.  I mean it needed tune ups, batteries, tires and brakes... but the only real repairs were a fuel pump, a water pump and a muffler.  She drove it until her first real Doctor job. I think she was 29?  She's had a myriad of expensive sedans since then but still says her first car was the most dependable she ever had.

Most ‘70s cars were crap. Just before I was born, my Dad bought a Plymouth Valiant based on recommendations from many close friends and family (hey, if they were good for the Montreal Police force, they must be good cars, right?).

 

THAT was the worst car he ever had. It would die if you turned left. The side trim fell off the car within days of buying it. The windshield leaked during the first rain storm (the dealer had the gall to tell him “well, don’t drive it in the rain...”. Seriously). Then engine issues came up – all within months of buying it. He quickly dumped it and bought a Mercury Monarch. He stuck with Ford products for the next 30 years...

My father had a 1973 one of these. Bought it new. Claims it still was the biggest piece of crap he ever owned. Which was saying something as he had a Vega before this.

 Gullwing has many cars - many of which are future barn finds.

 

They do not seem to care that they are known as purveyors of shit.

I have been to this dealer a few times. That is a market correct price but notice there are no underside photos. There are likely no floors or suspension pick up points left.
