memory lane car for me.......if this one for sale was built in Windsor , Ontario.

I worked on the line at the Tecumseh Rd. plant that built the Valiant and Darts in 1971 and 1972.

Six days a week on  swing shift for $5.08 an hour. Very good money back then.

Ontario law required that you couldn't refuse to work 48 hours a week, 

Still remember the UAW contract slogan regarding overtime..."Ask us, don't tell us."

The signing contract was worded, workers could refuse to work after six - eight hour  shifts.....huh?

We earned some more coin on the contract,but hourly production was increased.....we were at 50 cars an hour (not sure on this)

Lots of Valiants and Darts went through those plant doors in those years.

1971 was a massive sales year for Chrysler Canada, with records in sales, earnings, production, and employment. The Plymouth Satellite joined Windsors Valiants; and the unique, new automated piston pouring process

developed by Etobicoke employees started up in that plant after six years of work, allowing massive increases in productivity with seven million pistons shipping in 1971 alone and 8.2 million in 1972.

In 1972, Chrysler Canada broke its 1971 records in sales, earnings, production, and employment, with $1.5 billion in sales, 19% above 1971's record; market share shot up to 25% of cars and 16% of trucks. The company

earned $41.5 million, net, after taxes. At retail, 163,596 cars and trucks were sold; and Chrysler Canada made cars, trucks, engines, springs, trim, and castings for Chrysler Corporation itself.

The Windsor car plant had 2.2 million square feet of floor space, the engine plant 717,000 square feet. The engine plant sat right behind the car plant....I believe the length of both plants together was a mile long.

Motor appears to have fallen sideways, maybe if he stood the motor up straight it would run better.

Oh my dear, Isn't that exposed gas filler pipe in the trunk a nice feature?

Minimum wage in Ontario was $1.65 in 1972 so making 3 time the minimum at those hours must have been something. If you equate the hours worked to minimum wage today that would be $87,000 per annum !! eyepopping.gif

That brings back memories of my Dad's '70 Dart. 

That and the (2) front "icebox" air vents (a stubby/micky would fit in each one)biggrin :

I had quite a few of them back in the day, actually.  They were good sized, comfortable, bulletproof cars.  Not all that exciting with the slant, but decent cars nonetheless.  This one looks like a neat little time capsule that wouldn't take much to make it clean and serviceable.

I'd be buying it if the timing were better.  Then I could flip it like Carl says and make a million dollars, just like all the cars I see at Barrett Jackson!  no

But seriously, if I got it, I'd just keep it to tool around with on my low-stress days (not that there are a lot of those these days)... maybe take it to a show 'n' shine if I had the time, get ice cream, etc..  Y'know, all the fun stuff that you guys do with your Pontiacs, but no racing... wink
