2022 Aussie Family & Sports Car Market Review - Chrysler Valiant/Regal 1971-1981
Inconsistent pricing in the ranks of 1970s Valiants suggest that some vendors are still pushing the limits while buyers are no longer taking the bait.
CL-CM Valiants in good condition should be worth $15-18,000, with less practical VH-VKs notionally worth less.
Regals from both series should be worth 25 percent more than a basic car, yet a lot seen during the survey were in decent condition and priced below $20,000. Above them and genuinely scarce are VH-VJ Regal Hardtops which will soon, if not already, justify $50,000 asking prices.
CH-CK Chrysler Hardtops make similar money but the big Chrysler sedans look undervalued. Excellent cars with the 360 cubic inch V8 can sell above $30,000.
VH-VK Valiant $27,600 (9)
CL-CM Valiant $20,740 (21)
VH-VK Regal $20,100 (8)
CL-CM Regal $18,465 (14)
VH-VJ Regal H/Top $53,585 (3)
