New User Posts: 2 | New to the group, bringing a 1960 Valiant Suburban wagon back from the dead. The car and my wallet both were too far gone -- and I want to drive this regularly -- to bring back to original, so I am restomoding it. That means primarily that I am swapping the /170 for a /225, 3-spd manual for 4-spd/OD, front disc brakes, 13" for 14" wheels, power steering, custom paint and interior. I live in San Marcos (north San Diego county), but don't expect to see the car on the road any time soon. I can always use some help, if anyone is in the area. The car was originally a V-100 in PP1 red (which, according to literature, was not offered by Chrysler...go figure), now it's going to look more like racing legend Prince Valiant.

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9604 Location: So. Cal | Welcome. I have this '61 Lancer wagon a couple hours from you. Mine has the aluminum block 225. I am not thrilled with the carburetion so I am thinking of fuel injecting it. I have 15" wheels on it with the original Lancer dog dish caps.

Like of these?: https://www.wheelvintiques.com/wheels/muscle.html?p=1 or these? (I see they have new cop car wheels) https://www.wheelvintiques.com/wheels/muscle.html?p=2 | ||

As far as I recall, the only ones available in small bolt pattern from them are the 48 & 56 series rally wheels, as well as the 61 series stock style. I have a pair of brand new 56 series rally wheels in small bolt pattern 15x7 that I would sell at a discount if anyone would like them, but shipping is quite expensive for wheels. I don't know how Summit ships so cheaply, but I can't. | ||
