1965 Plymouth Valiant

Plymouth supported a successful team of Valiant two door sedans in the 1965 SCCA Manufacturers Rally Championship. The 273 V8, introduced in mid-1964 as the first of Chrysler's LA engine range, was available through the year alongside the slant six, and the Valiant remained the base for the Barracuda fastback. Other changes included a split grille with a fine patterned insert, new front fenders, new rear fenders on the sedans, a bevelled edge rear deck lid, a heavier rear bumper and a new roofline with a large rear window.
