Rare as hen's teeth now. Great to see this old Val/Dodge ute has survived, and congratulations to the owner for bringing the old girl up to schmick condition again 👏👍

Totally agree with ya man. I love how the price of cars has gone up because that means my old cars a worth a lot now, not that i would ever sell em and yes that means I'm going to need 20 acres worth of sheds lol. I only discovered your channel today, so I notice the xf videos are a couple of years old already but still very cool to watch. I love how you have written Doomsled on your shirts the design is similar to Hatebreed album covers. Any way man I'm heading down to Adelaide next year to see Metalica so would be cool to meet you while we are down that way! Take care brother and talk soon. Josh.

Awesome vid on the XF man! Hey, what did you do with the old wheels? They are AMG Quakes, and I have been chasing a set of them for years in 18s. Just wondering if you still have them and would you sell them? Cheers man love the XFs

Ive owned a few different Valiants, they always did me good, in 1980 I had a choice, buy a HK Monaro 307 or buy a VF Valiant Regal 318 2 door, they both were the same price, I bought the HK for $1500, and always thought I should have bought the VF.

The guys complaining about how much classics are worth are the same idiots that traded their hq monaro, valiant charger etc for crappy 80s/90s plastic bumper cars and now they're just salty that they were too dumb to keep them. My family have always been mechanics and they've thrown literal millions down the drain by not keeping them, and i mean 300-400 classics, 20-30 monaro coupes, chargers etc

That's bloody heartbreaking mate, not surprised though as I've heard some horror stories from others who now no longer import because of this behaviour. I would be complaining and seeking redress from those parties involved for damages!

Agree ... I was looking for Valiant VF and VG 2 door coupes and you can't get them for near sensible money anymore. So while everyone was looking that way ... i went for a worked 67 Plymouth Satellite with mint paint and all the goodies for less than an Aussie Valiant ... and the Satellite is far better in trim and finish right across the board! I laughed all the way home ... 😂
