Way back then my first car was a red Pacer. We got it cheap - nobody wanted them at that time, mid 70s? Three on the floor and drums all around it was a hoot. 1st to 2nd v easy kiss reverse..resouting in lots of noise. Loved the dinky little tacho stuck on top of crash pad. At same time dad had a 318 Safari wagon. I learnt to reverse park in that tank, tow boats and move mountains. Traded the Pacer in on an early Gemini for mum and I got the family HR wagon Premier 2 speed auto..I drove it into the ground. Very enjoyable to look back at the old Vals through your videos, thanks.

Are they the same as the ford 200 motors?

Are they the same as the ford 200 engines?

Nice vid just picked up a gear selector in nz cheap was amazed I found one bought box without it converting vj from auto to man with 3 speed

Thank you friend most informative , could listen to your knowledge all day

Good job

Love it! Thanks for for history lesson.

Ihave owned a few VC vals over the years amongst others. The VC was always my favourite.

The wonderful Chariots of the Wogs as these were called.

I had a 67 VE that was kind of a Frankenstein's monster. Stock VE body, black vip interior, vip front discs. It had rear hd air shocks, heavy duty front gas, stabilisers, and stronger torsion arms. It cornered like race car. The 225 slant was a gem of an engine.

THANKS FROM AUSTRALIA

Hi, thankyou for these videos. In 1979 at 22yo I needed to buy a car having just arrived in Sydney from NZ. My older brother spotted a 1968 VE Valiant auto sedan in the cars for sale section of the Telegraph. Advertised for $600. It was Sunday in August and arrived after dark. The owner threw me the keys and said take it for a spin and went back inside (awesome). The car was in good condition. Stock standard except for extractors and wider crome rims. It sounded really good. Dark green in colour. Auto slant 6, I guess it was the 225 motor. What a great motor. I found out later it would kick down and take off like a rocket, made getting pass someone so much fun. Anyway offered the guy $400 cash which he accepted and we left with a great buy. It proved to be a reliable good car and gave me no trouble. But I, like thousands of other guys later on in life, so regretted not keeping that car. I was going to keep it and tidy it up more but my brother said nah move on it's only a Valiant 😔

Enjoying these videos. Thanks

I had a near new 1970 VF Regal 318 Fireball V8 Wagon - just an absolute pleasure to drive. I asked the original owner why he was selling it and he said that if you drop it down manually and give it kickdown, particularly on wet roads, it was absolutely dangerous, you could not hold it. Months later when I saw him I told him I had not needed to take it out of D for Drive !

They were like Volvo’s , ‘they’re Boxy but they’re good’ .. I always thought the guy that designed the indicators front & back should have had the opportunity to design the whole car .. he was good.

It looks a lot like the 318 poli combustion chamber.

I had a 225 VF, three on the tree and it went like Hell, couldn't kill it with a big stick. But they were a rust bucket, I could fit a footy in the rust holes in the boot. Mechanically, Henry & The General couldn't touch it.

Good video !!! Great explainations. Nice looking cars.👍

I had a VF VIP and I rearranged REGAL letters to LAGER. I still have the instrument cluster and a tailight buried in the garage.

I had a VE and later a VF. The VF went around Australia twice. Unbreakable cars. I wish I had kept the VF, would love to potter around in it now.

Mission brown looks good on Val’s😎those two doors are beautiful cars.

Looking forward to the VH video. Coming soon?

Great video, Biggest mistake Chrysler should of offered a 340 version of the the VF. There should of been a Pacer version with a 340 auto & 4 speed straight from the US to compete with the Monaro & XW GT. In my lifetime owned 2 x 770 sedan V8 1 x VIP V8 Missed out on a rare V8 Regal column auto Sedan with the sargent V8 badging on the front guard. Look forward to the VG Cheers Louis Kats 👍

The rear indicaters were the most important. The front ones were facing drivers in front who had their backs to you, and were travelling away from you. But still, they probably should have been better.

The grill looks quite Ford Fairlane/Torino-like, but more slick, with those turn signals at the tops of the fenders. Those taillights and rear markers look very cool too - almost Pontiac-like. I can tell right off that that rear door and C pillar are all different from their USDM counterparts, and that back-glass has a very interesting shape. That console/floor shifter shown @4:00 looks like what I call the 'Shower Head Shifter' Like what you would see in a '68 USDM Satellite. They look like the shower heads in the 1960s housing development I grew up in. I'd love one of those Valiant coupes with a hot small block and probably a LHD conversion.

My father had two of these a regal that he traded in on a ford he regretted it until the day he died. And a vip that he brought for $700 that had a Wornout motor leaking transmission and power steering. He replaced the motor from a 770 charger. And that car was stolen and used as jail break getaway car from parramatta woman’s detention center in the early 80s

I've had my VF Regal 770 sedan for 38 years. I love it, and its "only" got 660,000 kms on the clock

That was great 👍 I had a Regal coup with 318 fireball. It was white with black vinyl roof and interior (not 770) air conditioning and power steering. It was about 9 years old when I bought it when I was 17yo. It was so much better than any of my friends cars .

Interesting that the VIP's rear doors are just lengthened normal sedan doors , as were the doors used on VH onwards Hardtops and Chargers .

I remember my father's 1970 VF sedan. Burgundy with the white vinyl roof, 225 and three on the tree. After that, we had a 1975 HQ Kingswood s/w met. gold, 202 and column manual. The Valiant was always my favourite.

Glad you’re back Tavo with some new Mopar content! What do you think about the movies Duel and Christine? True Mopar lovers movies …. Keep well my man!

🥝✔️

🥝✔️Glad you didn't 🪓 hatchet your natural. BlQQdy Awesome, Mate... 11:14. More natural, more Ticks, More Dean Stevenson Happy.

Never knew they had pacer station wagons, groovy. Good video.

Where the 15 inch Ralley or Magnum wheels available in Australia?

Great Video - Very Well Presented ! Thank You

All VF had 5.5 x14 inch rims

Pacer its the low price

Underdash a/c not intergrated ?.

I guess that extended front end sheet metal was in anticipation of the Hemi 6...215/245 and 265 right? Wonderful Engines!

Did you notice the master cylinder is on the wrong side of the car?

Good looking cars

👊🏼⛽️✔️

Great to have a video from you it's been awhile. The stretched VIP looked great even though not a C body. 👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏

Aussiehemi not quite a hemi but f'kn good 😁

Hey man , I have a spare roof skin I can donate to you , it’s obviously going to a good cause so it’s yours if you want 👌🏽👌🏽

I never knew the utes had AP bonnets.

I would love an AP5 for the collection.... need more room first. Great Video

The vc is my favourite valiant all the other valiants kind of similar to each other but the vc stands out
