Finnish Dart & Valiant Association FDVA ry (ry means officially registered) was founded in 1987 and is the oldest Mopar club still active in Finland.

Our aim is to promote and maintain interest in these cars, and to help our members to maintain their cars by providing technical advice and spare parts information.

Our objective is not doing business, but to provide good moments with these cars. Some of the cars are still in daily use during all the year. Rough winter time requires extra care (even 30 C degrees below zero).

Darts and Valiants were most popular American cars at their time. Even though the price of a Valiant V100 equals at least two VW Beetles here, or you could get a cheapest Mercedes Benz with the same money. Darts were, of course, more expensive...

We have about 85 members who all have these models in their households. The cars vary from fully restored ones to race cars powered from 170 cid (2.8 l) to 440 cid (7,2 l) engines.

Our meets include two annual meetings for members only. In addition we participate as a club in other summer events in Finland.
Due to long distances the main contacts between our members are both our internet pages and magazine Compact Contact.
