Slant-6 Turbo? 1963 Plymouth Valiant Convertible

You pop the hood on a ’63 Plymouth Valiant convertible and naturally expect to see some kind of V8 swap wedged in there—but nope, surprise: it’s a turbocharged inline-six slant motor. Whut? Yes, this droptop cruiser rocks a high-revving, turbo-breathing 170ci slant-6 that’s been warmed up with a mild cam and a 4bbl Holley carb, giving it far more personality than Chrysler engineers ever dared. The car itself has been nicely preserved with a factory-correct blue repaint about a decade ago, a fresh exhaust, MSD ignition, a solid 3-on-the-tree hooked to a later synchro-geared transmission, and 14-inch Cragars wrapped in newer rubber. Find this 1963 Plymouth Valiant Convertible offered for $23000 in Rancho Bernardo, CA via craigslist.
