My 1966 318 4-bbl powered Valiant. I sold it in
1981 after getting tired spending money on it. I thought I had outgrown such urges.( I
already had my new slant six Aspen by this time.) I was wrong, of course. |

This is Dad's long gone1977 SE Aspen wagon. It
was equipped with a 318 and an 8.25 rear. I wish I had kept it for
parts. I still know its whereabouts, but it doesn't look like
this anymore. Have a look at
Jim's Wagon. |

Here I am washing my pride and joy circa 1983.By
this time I had installed a stereo, rallyes, spoiler, 2 bbl and that
friggin' sunroof.
That was to be the limit of the modifications. In this form old reliable would serve me
until 1990. |

In Nova Scotia, if you want to drive your car
year round, they can't be afraid of a little snow or salt.( I used to spray the underside
with used oil, which is frowned upon today for environmental reasons.) Now it only comes
out on sunny days. |

After several years in Halifax and an
altercation with a five-ton truck, it was time for a repaint. It was also time for a baby
seat. From 1988 to 1990 it would be my daily driver. until... |

A majestic 8-point buck escaped the hunter's
guns only to park his ass in my grille- at 100 KPH. It would spend the next few years
parked in my Grandfather's damp basement with a deer turd on it's breather. |

Some of these images may be disturbing for
younger viewers. It's called the point of no return. |
 |
Trust me on this one, I have everything safely
tucked away in a couple of cardboard boxes. Next year I'll put it all back together. When
your car looks like this everyone has an opinion to share with
you. |

Never get your restoration supplies from a Witch
Doctor. A secret potion to turn back the clock on the little Dodge turned us into
children. The car looks a bit better though.

This� is my restoration
shop. I'd like to
thank my dad for letting me park this lovely lawn ornament in his yard every summer from
1993-1996. Big blue tarp missing from photo. |
