For local Chrysler fans, the emergence of the AP5 and then AP6 Valiants marked the emergence of cars that were than capable of challenging the dominance of Holden.
As Cliff Chambers notes in his feature on the series, the wagons were special: “These models were the first Australian Valiants to offer a station wagon which, like Ford’s Falcon, featured a wind-down tailgate window. Physically bigger than either the Falcon or Holden’s EH model, Valiant wagons would accommodate loads up to seven feet (2.15 metres) in length.”
This example runs a 3.5lt ‘slant six’ matched to a three-speed automatic transmission.
The seller says it is in exceptional condition.
Located south of Murwillumbah, it’s on the market for $35,000.
