This Plymouth Valiant got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1976 Plymouth Valiant sedan was produced in March 1976 at Plymouth’s St. Louis, Missouri, assembly facility and was subsequently registered as a taxi in California prior to the selling dealer’s acquisition in 2022. The car is finished in gold over gold vinyl and is powered by a 225ci slant-six paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Features include a taxi roof light, Yellow Cab Co. body graphics, power steering, power-assisted front disc brakes, a split-back front bench seat, air conditioning, and safety belts. Period equipment includes a fare meter, a police scanner, and a logbook and storage shelf. This Valiant taxi is now offered by the selling dealer with a clean California commercial title that notes “TAXI” under vehicle history.
