1968 Chrysler Valiant VC review from Australia and New Zealand
"Bargain oldie"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump needed replacing.
Alternator need replacing.
Exhaust smell came up through the boot into cabin area.
Small tires felt like they were all over the road, so put bigger ones on with good effect, car felt more stable on the road.
General comments?
Another fun car to drive. Big steering wheel, column shift, sea green color and that huge bonnet.
Bench seat in front meant you could cuddle up while driving :)
Bit of a petrol guzzler and only took leaded petrol.
Only paid about $500 for the car and certainly got my money's worth. only a small amout of rust in bottom of doors, for it's age.
Unfortunately , I parked it non the road in front of my house and a fool in a 4WD ploughed into it and wrote it off.
