Chrysler Royal/Valiant/Regal (1957-1966) 2021 market review
Early Valiants haven’t achieved the same auction-site superstardom as some Holdens and Falcons yet continue to deliver sustained growth and good value.
| Buyer’s Guide: Chrysler Valiant VC 1966-67
Early R and S Series cars resemble no other Aussie Valiant and R versions are so rare that excellent survivors now exceed $40,000. S Series are easier to find and their increasing prices hopefully are sustainable.
| Buyer’s Guide: Chrysler Valiant AP5-AP6
Less likely the AP6 V8 offered at $60,000 and genuinely worth around $45,000. Most AP5s and AP6s entering the market have been sanely priced at $15-20,000 and appeal to the more cautious buyer. Plymouth-based, 1950s Chrysler Royals typically remain at around $20,000.
Royal Sedan $22,160 [6]
R Series $37,790 [5]
