So who's got a first Gen A-Body?

[Dodge440Coronut]

I've kinda been outta the mopar hobby for 2-3 years and I've noticed that they make a crazy amount of stuff for B-Bodys now, I had them in the past but the right oppertunity hasn't arizen for me to get another lately.

I have however found pretty decent mid 60's Valiant, just wondering what they make for the early A's now. I had a pair of '63 Dart GT Conv.'s about 6 years ago, but a lot has happend in the aftermarket since then. The car I'm looking at now is a /6 auto but I'll likely put a small block in it and do the obligatory big bolt patern/disc swap.

So whata' they make now?

They make alot of parts for that car now I believe.  I guess it depends what you're looking for??  Some pics would be cool too!

I personally don't like them. If you want an 66 ish Valiant for free let me know I can make mopar magic happen.  I friend owns a body shop and the guy bought it for a parts car for a 66 barracuda. Its a straight 6 with a push botton auto, AC car. The body as almost no rust will all chrome. He told me I can Have it but I don't need it, PS No title. I try to take a pic so you can tell me what year it is.

Body parts are somewhat available. 66 is the hardest since it's a one year only. Trunk extensions etc are not available aftermarket.

I had mine cut from a donor car.

Things are getting better but we're not quite there.

I just ordered new carpet, wiring harness, and windlace, and door panels for the wife's 66 Signet ragtop. The door panels are Barracuda panels so they are missing the chrome strip but it's all that is out there.

G'day,

I know they're not that popular in the States, but here in Australia the early Vals are very collectible. My clubs website is at http://www.1962valiants.com
Our club was one of the first to start reproducing the lenses, decals etc. Now you can get pretty much any lens for an old Val here, and not at crazy prices either. It surperises me how few reproduction items there are for Vals in the States.

The 62 Vals we had here were actually fully imported, locally assembled 61's and 62's from the States. We only ever had 4 door models until the late 60's when we got cars resembling the 2 door Darts.
