1960 Plymouth Valiant Denali 4WD

1960 was the first year of this 3 year body style. A slow year for Plymouth, only 400,000 Plymouths were produced in 1960 and over 109,000 were some kind of Valiant. They were Plymouths saving Grace in 1960 and although they were made by Plymouth, they were known only as Valiants for the 1960 model year. The Plymouth name was added in 1961., , The standard engine was a 170ci - 101hp Slant-6 with a 3 speed pushbutton automatic transmission. These engines were made to last forever and this one certainly will. After 53 years, the odometer reads just 18,100 miles and is 100% accurate with documentation. The car is in incredible condition and is a true completely original, UNRESTORED 100% survivor. Not one thing has been changed other than basic maintenance and safety items such as brakes, tires, oil and other fluids. Ironically, we have a receipt for a new Midas muffler from the original owner that dates back to the 80s which has a LIFETIME warranty. If needed, the mufflers are still under warranty. :) Funny !!! The original keys are still with the car attached to the original Gallub Chrysler dealers key farb. The original 53year old spare tire is still in its place and has never been taken out of the trunk., , The body is rust free and its original black paint shines beautifully as does every bit of its chrome and trim. There is barely a mark on the car. The interior is immaculate with not a stitch out of place. All gauges work and are clear as they were when new. This 4 owner classic has had one owner twice. The first owner was a lady named Joan West from Queens NY who purchased the car from Gallub Motors in Queens Village NY. The original window stick, owners manual and original brochure will verify this. The second owner is also the fourth owner who bought the car in the early 90s, sold it to a friend by the late 90s, bought it back again seven years later and has had it ever since. We bought the car from him just recently. This very meticulous gentleman maintained this car as well as any Ive ever seen. He also took pride in keeping the car in its original state throughout its life. The Valiant and his story was featured in an issue of Hemmings Classic Car magazine a few years ago where this man had given the details of his car. The article is available at your request and a copy will be included in the sale of this car. , , The car drives and handles as if it were new.. It practically is, averaging just 330 miles per year over its 53 years!It is very responsive and surprisingly quick. It stays on the road nicely and can easily keep pace with todays traffic. It starts easily, shifts smoothly and stops on a dime., , These Odd-Ball classics have really increased in value over the past few years. People have said about these cars, youll either love them or hate them. If you are one of those that loves the Odd-Ball classics, youll REALLY love this one. This is most likely the nicest, most cared-for UNRESTORED ORIGINAL 1960 Valiant on the planet. , , Options were limited to the Valiant. A heater, an AM transistor radio and a 3 speed pushbutton automatic transmission was all she wrote..... Literally.. Although there were not many options availalble, these inexpensive Valiants actually used an alternator as standard equipment while most others, especially in this class, used the older technology generators. There were only 6 color choices available and the Valiant only came in a 4 door and a wagon. A 2 door became available in 1961. Both had the fake wheel that appears to be popping up from inside he trunk, also known as the toilet seat. Overall, the early Valiants were incredible cars in their day with an incredible history still today. THIS car takes the Valiant to another level
