Chrysler Valiant

AP5 ' 64

225 Slant 6

Torqueflite

My First car, modified over a few years while I was in the RAAF. Bought it in 1968 only 4 years old and ready to FLY.

By 1970 and the release of the Ford GT-HO taxis' I had it cooking with twin 4bbls and 258 ci. after complete rebuild.

 It was great at the Calder Drags on TV beating the new Ford GT HO's as I was on the edge of 13's and they could not believe an old Valiant 225 six was blowing them away.

 Imagine what it would do with a TURBO!

The RAAF boys and the toys in 1970.

Hi LES, hows the brick still going?

With the suspension done and 8's and 9's on the back we out ran a Porsche 911 out the Geelong freeway past Brooklyn and Laverton doing over 120 Mph PLUS through the curves. (YOUNG&STUPID) Eventually sold it and bought the Rambler Hornet.

Guess I really wanted a Ford Mustang!!
