1962 Plymouth Valiant

[Csaba aka felhasznaaloo]

Tried to kind of replicate a friend's 1:1 car. Rebuilt out of a dealer promo model, which I bought off ebay.

Wheels are resin, made by my friend mentioned above.

Paint is Zero Paint Chevy Le Mans blue.

That is a beautiful 1962 Valiant ! It especially looks nice in that blue colour ; and the tyres and wheels are perfect ! 

I have a 1960 or 1961 Valiant hardtop disassembled promotional which needs a restoration .

I like it and I’ve always been a big Valiant fan. Nice work. Is your friend with the car in your country?

[Tom99]

Great job.

Sweet. That's about as nice as one of those cars can look. The right color, wheel choice, and stance have transformed  this car big-time.

Looks good, I had the same model when I was a kid. You don't see many models of this car built up so thanks for posting.

Thanks to all of you for the kind comments!

Csaba, it looks great!  My wife had one of these when we first met. It was a faded bronze that looked like brown. It was a very ugly car. Her dad traded it in for a 67 Mustang Fastback. She got the better end of that deal. Your Valiant looks good! Nice work! ?

Very nice!!! Really like seeing someone build this as a street car. Most of what I see have been cut up for racing.

Came out nicely. Another kit I would be very happy to see AMT re-create.
