1968 Plymouth Valiant Signet review from North America

"An immortal workhorse"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I have had no major mechanical problems since I got the car, and it appears it has never had any major work done to it. Someone in the past replaced the voltage regulator with a solid-state one, though.

I've had to replace the rear brakes, the rear left wheel studs (I broke off the old ones not realizing it was reverse thread), and otherwise have done little, but change the oil.

The A/C needs a charge, but works.

I've got some minor rust on the corners of the hood hood and around the windshield, but otherwise the paint is still pretty good elsewhere.

General comments?

This car is my daily driver, I've put over 3000 miles on it in less than two months.

The slant-6 engine is known for its longevity, and I intend to see if I can wrap 300,000 around it in the coming years.

I bought this car for a grand total of $800 from a fellow who is a frequent customer of my work.

I'm normally a GM kind of guy, but this little friend was just too nice to pass up, it is a classic and yet still an excellent daily workhorse, who gets 20-23 miles to the gallon.
