Buried for Over 30 Years, A Former Magazine Project Car Gets a Second Chance At This Year's Hot Rod Drag Week

Discovered as a time capsule car a few years back, Ken Robinson saw this 1969 Plymouth Valiant for sale on Facebook Marketplace in the spring of 2022.

Originally built as a ‘Street Rat’ as ‘Uncle’ Tony Defeo penned in the Mopar High Performance magazine article on the car in 1985 (that first issue came out in early 1986), the car didn’t give any indication it was a bruiser, other than the scooped hood.
