1973 Valiant Charger first time back on the road in over 20 years!

I picked up this rough as guts 73-75 VJ Valiant Charger down in Melbourne. needed a lot of work but ran like a dream.
265 Hemi sounded like an 8! 3spd Borg-Warner with B&M mega shifter, excellent brakes 🤣, strong rear end...Great Car!
This video was designed with a buyer in mind, I was actually selling the beast but thankfully it didn't happen and this monster went on to be my daily for the next 7 years!
According to the records and part numbers I was the first to ever register this car in the digital age, there was no evidence this old thing had ever been on the road before records went digital back in the 90s.
Who knows where she came from?!

Didn't expect to see the old girl when I looked up VJ charger on youtube, She is still alive, looking a bit more weathered now. It runs a 4 speed manual, EFI and an E49 cam now, still driven a fair bit, currently being daily driven again.

You Legend!! I was wondering how she was going. If she still was on the road. Thank you for that brings a small tear to the eye 🤘

As a Chrysler owner, I approve. Bloody nice.

That was cool to watch mate, loved the growl of the hemi six too. It looks like a good honest car. A new crash pad, door skins and the rear seat patched and the interior is finished from what you showed. Most importantly the plenum chamber looks rust free along with around the windscreen. If you intend to keep it and do stuff to it please keep us posted. I am subscribing. Cheers.

Great video, I use to have a 1975 ex cop VJ Charger in 1985, what's your plans with it?
