Claasic Aussie Mopar and a wagon

This one is pretty sweet

As an early US Valiant owner I just love those Aussie Valiants. And wagons... It's funny Chrysler in the US dropped the wagon bodystyle after 1966, but since Australia kept using the 63-66 sheet metal (or at least doors/quarter panels) for the VC, they got to keep the wagon too. But then of course when Aus got a redesigned VE Valiant they got a wagon version of that. That's even cooler.

Yeah, I can dig it

That's an amazingly clean early A-body! I wonder if the Australians used different engine colors from the North American market, or if that one was repainted. (Good choice of color, though; the tractor red that a stock '66 USDM Valiant Wagon would have used would have looked horrible with that body color.)

Was the windshield visor a thing in Australia in the mid 1960s? They stopped putting them on cars in the US around 1953, the one on this car looks very odd.

The visors are very common on Aus cars of the 60s and even 70s. I would like to import one for my Valiant but the shipping always discourages me.

And I believe that some/all export 225s came gold, maybe only the 2bbl 180hp ones? I can't remember. But you see them in cars from Argentina and Spain too.

That's awesome.

Massive chubbie.

Love the look with the wheels and tires
