StreetLegal TV found this 1968 Valiant on eBay. The Arizona body is in great shape and the owner has invested in upgrading the brakes, suspension, transmission and added a roll cage. He’s added new wheels and tires all around and, oh yeah, has a 358 cubic inch R5P7 Dodge Nascar engine waiting to be dropped in! Sourced from Ernie Elliot’s engine shop, it produces over 750 horsepower! Check out the auction on eBay. More pics after the jump!

1963 Dodge Wrecker on Craigslist
Bangshift found one cool Dodge D300 wrecker for sale on Craigslist. Looks like a deal for only $1500. More pics after the jump!
A Nesting Couple
A 1969 Formula S Barracuda and a 1966 Coronet convertible appear to have been side by side for quite some time. Seems like a shame to break them up. No chance of that happening in the immediate future–they’re not for sale. As found on Cars in Barns. One more pic after the jump!

Meet the Coroner
Check out this awesome new feature on Speedhunters on “The Coroner” located in Sweden.
“In essence, what he’s done is take a 1968 Dodge Coronet with a 1969 front end, plus a 2007 Dodge Charger, and blend them together to create something that looks old from the outside, but has all the luxuries and performance you’d expect from a modern muscle car at its core.”
More pics after the jump, but be sure to check out the full feature on Speedhunters!
1968 Charger in Hibernation
This Florida car has been sitting, untouched, for the past eight years. It looks to be in great shape. I’m liking the bumble bee stripe. As found in Cars in Barns.

Richard Petty at Goodwood
The Goodwood Festival of Speed conjures up images of Jaguars, Aston Martins, Sprites and Hemi-powered Belvederes. That’s right. As in a, nay THE NASCAR winning Plymouth Belvedere. This years event welcomed The King himself and his actual Daytona winning race car from 1966/67. They didn’t just fire up the old girl and hit the course though. They first changed the oil and checked the battery and brakes. It had been sitting for 47 years after all. Read more at Jalopnik. Video after the jump!
