Learn something every day. We owned a 62 Valiant (a prince of a car) like the one in the picture Marty posted. Red with a black interior.
I actually like that car's design. The grille definitely could use a makeover but in its day that was the thing.

Cop car 383's had two 4-barrel carbs crossing over but not like that. I knew a guy that had one of those and he went through the motor and hot rodded it more. The sound of that thing was awesome.

I think he had an early X pipe so it really rattled the windows when he fired it up.
