SOLD - 1976 Valiant A38 (Georgia)

[Steam McQueen]

- Could use a wash There definitely was a 1976 Valiant police package but this car ia a "L"ow price class car and yesterday there was no pic of a tag so I was skeptical. Today they added a pic of the tag and it's an A38 so here it is. Current bid is $710 with 8 and a half days to go.

The research that I have done over the years shows that there were only a very few of these with the 360 4 Barrel engine produced. It was ordered brand new at Fred Hawkins Chrysler Plymouth in Cornelia Ga. The original owner was the jailer for the local Sheriff Department. He personally wanted a Police package vehicle so this one was special ordered for him. Apparently, the only way that he could get the vehicle that he wanted was that it was originally intended to be a Fire Department vehicle thus the Bright Red paint! Starting the auction for $99 and going to sell it for the high bid.

Engine code is "L" and the E58 on the tag do indeed match for the 360 4-bbl. Rare car, we've got 15 pages of (mostly) Mopar cop cars posted here and this is the 1st Valiant.

Cool, more than I would pay but it's the only one I've ever seen.
