Junkyard Find: 1961 Plymouth Valiant

A few months ago, we saw this Lebowski-grade '75 Gran Torino in a Denver wrecking yard, and an early Chrysler A body could be seen in the background. Here's that car!
This car is a bit rusty and it's a not-so-desirable four-door, so it's a good thing that some Valiant (or Dart) owner has rescued most of the interior. It would be a shame to have useful 52-year-old parts go to The Crusher.
It's possible that this is a '60, but (as far as I know) the differences between the '60 and the '61 are mostly in the grille, which is missing. The junkyard thinks this is a '62.
Still enough Slant Sixes left in the world that you see them frequently in junkyards.
Chrysler needs to bring back the "toilet seat" trunklid!
