Let's Go Brandon
Barring any unforeseen paperwork issues, I will finally have a car I have always wanted. I've been searching for a clean and original example of a south African Valiant for almost a year. Being that I can't must hop in the car and run to the next town to see it for myself, has been a giant hurdle to overcome. I have found several potential examples, but this one, by far, is the nicest one I have come across. Pricing on these cars over there is all across the board. The asking price on this one is roughly $4900 US. Which, yes, is a ton of money for a 4 door A body. I've negotiated with the owner and settled for quite a bit less than the asking price, but is still way more than I have ever spent on a 4 door mopar lol. But, this isn't your average 4 door A body. I have always wanted a right hand drive mopar, and the A body cars are obviously on the top of my list. This is a South African 1972 Valiant Regal, with the good old 225 slant six. The slant is the only motor Chrysler ever offered in these cars when new. Even the Valiant Charger wasn't available with a V8. I plan on keeping the car basically the way you see it, but power-train wise will receive some attention. The interior is almost mint, and the body has only been re sprayed once. No signs of any rust, except for in the spare tire well. Imagine that! My friend Tim is in South Africa working with a customer of mine, and they both did me a huge favor and checked the car out. By the looks of it, all of the paperwork is in order on the car, but I am still waiting on am official thumbs up from my customer. He knows what is needed to export the car, and will make sure all is good before it hits the water. Ok enough of the small talk, here are some pics of the Valiant. Yes it looks like a Dart lol. Enjoy.
