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 😔

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.

Enjoying these videos. Thanks

As a farm kid, we had the VIP, white, black Vinyl roof and beige interior. We were aware of its classy looks and quality interior, by the many admiring comments. It was pretty tough too, lots of dirt road driving. Thanks Tavo.

I think I know why you got the good fuel filler tube. They needed it for clearance in the station wagon and the ute. I have two and both are straight. Wish I had the curved one. I guess I could make one out of one of mine. It's just flattened tubing.

Those wagons look good to bad we didn't get them in the USA

[@TAVOAu]

There is one there somewhere. Initially imported and driven daily around Georgia.

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

[@darrenpalmer6073]

Where was the plant in Mile End ?

[@TAVOAu]

That I'm not 101% sure about. I believe it was either Scotland Rd, or London Rd, but either way, in that industrial complex area.

[@darrenpalmer6073]

Did a bit of digging and yes it was Scotland road with boundaries on Railway Tce and James Condon drive
