Step into a piece of automotive history with this stunning 1965 Chrysler Valiant, a car that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the era. With a powerfully upgraded Slant Six engine, larger gear box, and a fully restored aesthetic, this Valiant is a testament to extended tenure of ownership from it’s current owner.
Bought in 1985, the car underwent an end-to-end transformation to restore this car to glory. With only 2,500 KM’s driven since a full restoration over 2 decades ago, what adds to the appeal is that fact that this vehicle was handed down from father to son, where it has been respected for nearly 40 years.
This Valiant brings you back to the 1960s with its distinctive design, timeless charm and without any restrictions. The striking red exterior shines brightly, a testament to its recent restoration that has revitalized its classic look, and one that borrows the iconic “Permanent Red” paint colour from the popular Holden Commodore VL range.\
The bodywork has been carefully preserved, ensuring that this time machine remains as captivating today as it was over half a century ago. The loud exhaust reminds you that the 60’s weren’t for the faint hearted, but that’s what makes this so much more exciting.
Under the hood, you’ll find an upgraded 4.0L Slant Six engine, known for its reliability and smooth performance. Coupled with a modified 5-speed manual gearbox that is normally found in a Toyota, this engine delivers a driving experience that’s raw, responsive and enjoyable – particularly if you’re more about purity than bells and whistles.
Whether you’re cruising down the boulevard or navigating through town, the Valiant promises a reliable ride with a (bit more than a) hint of excitement. The aftermarket exhaust has the right balance of low, deep rumbling thunder without hints of droning which is important to get right, particularly with a 6 cylinder engine.
The sound of the engine and exhaust purring beneath you is a reminder of its robust character. The manual gearbox offers a direct connection to the road, allowing you to feel every shift and every turn. The upgraded suspension not only gives the car a good ride height, but allows you to feel the car in action around every turn.
The steering wheel and dash are simple but effective – they offer a raw driving experience with an emphasis on the basics.
