I ran my mint 1969 318 Valiant as the family car for 12 happy years. Did a dual fuel CNG conversion but loved the 5.2 surge and roar when I flicked the switch!

Nice pickup. Your VF Sedan looks great for a 54 year old car. Back in the day (,late 70s) I had a white VF Pacer that had been previously fitted out with E37 Charger running gear, it was a rocket! Unfortunately I had to sell it to fund the birth of my first son. Life happens. A few things about your VF: - As you mentioned, the vinyl roof is not original. . Those things are magnets for rust. - Although the car is a Valiant Sedan, the interior appears to be refitted with standard Regal interior. Both Regal and 770 Regal were available for VF. The 770 had buckets with a centre console while the standard Regals were more 'family' orientated hence the bench front seat. - The blue exterior paint is definitely not standard. So, changing the paint would be fine depending on how far you want to go with the rebuild. You can get the original paint code from the compliance plate if you are curious. - If I was to guess, I recon it was 're-done' perhaps 30-40 years ago with these upgrades (,paint & interior). The car is a blank canvas IMHO. I think you can make it whatever you like. Personally, I'd keep the interior and wack a 265/4 speed, making it appear stock. It would be cheap and easy. Not many would know you've upgraded the drivetrain. It's your car so have fun with the old girl... cheers

Maybe more powerful, but the 225 is more torquey and the VF has nicer lights front and back
