Winton Raceway COTM 2005-2006 HEMI SIX PACK 265 CHRYSLER VALIANT 1965 AP6 sedan 

I had a similar experience in about 1984 , I'd just finished re painting my VC Valiant Regal from gunmetal silver to black , it looked great , and one summers morning on my way to work , going up a hill in quite heavy traffic , I was completely blinded by the sun , and I ran into the back corner of a parked bus at a bus stop , there were 2 buses and the one I hit was sitting well out in my lane ,the impact destroyed my left side front fender , but no damage to the bus . It was insured and repaired , but I remember it was very difficult finding a replacement fender for it , even back then , but that was in New Zealand, I'm sure a replacement would have been much easier to find in Australia. 🙂

I have personally owned over 350 and restored hundreds of Vals and dismantled hundreds of rougher ones in the 1980's and 90's. www.southernhemimedia.com/about-us.html Even in Australia the 1966 VC model valiant is hard to get parts for and even I have never dismantled one for parts! They have always been popular and last very well. Hard to find any getting wrecked for parts. Kind regards, Jeff

@@SouthernHemi Yes, it's getting increasingly important to look after what you've got. Iv'e often thought about how hard it was to get a replacement VC front guard , and, If it was now , I suppose it would be an option to get one from America off a Plymouth Valiant, or Barracuda. Actually, thinking about that time I needed one in 1984 , it was the panel beater that did the insurance work that told me it was hard to find another guard , but in those days there was a wrecker right there in my town that had a paddock full of Valiants, and I'd be very surprised if he couldn't have supplied one ( the panel beater sourced one from the north island somewhere) . That's what Iv'e found over the years, a lot of people are full of BS , and you're better off doing your own searching. Very nice AP6 you've got there ,as I said in my other comment there was one that looked just like it with a 265 , where I lived in the early nineties, except, I've remembered it had a black roof. My father had an AP6 in the seventies, my first car was an AP6 in 1981 , have had quite a few other Valiants since , including a VG Pacer coupe that I brought back from Brisbane. Currently I have Dads old VH Ranger XL which he bought in 1980 , and an AP6 Regal. 👍

@@SouthernHemi One thing I've found impossible to find is a good rear bumper for an AP6 , how about over there?

Sorry, not anymore. www.southernhemimedia.com/early_chrysler_valiant_parts_list_32.html

Thanks, very kind of you. And lovely styled cars in my opinion too. See my AP6 273 V8 sedan video. Cheers, Jeff

Amen brother

Yes Brian's car is nice. However they never came in 2 door versions apart from the Utes. (See my VC Ute Video) You would've had a Barracuda which are very cool!

@@SouthernHemi I live in the US where they did build a 2dr version of the Valiant.

Hi, Yes very cool. We had 2 door versions in later models, some were uniquely Australian. Please check out my other Videos.

Yes, love all the early light compacts!

Hi, this is definitely NOT a Slant six wedge, but is indeed fitted with a later model vertical HEMI 6. You have had some cool cars! But people... Please read the description. I have been a Mopar specialist since 1978 and my family since 1925. I have personally owned over 350 and have literally restored hundreds with my own hands from start to finish. In Mopar terms 6 Pack refers to 6 Barrels or a "Six Pack" carb set-up. Our Aussie made 6 cylinder HEMI 265 CID Six Pack engines were factory fitted with 3x2 BBL Italian side draft Weber carbs and and our Chrysler Valiant RT Chargers factory standard can do high 13 second quarter mile times with modern tyres and they corner like they are on rails and are all A bodies.

Dude , plz shut up if u dont know what ur talkin about, u dont get hyperpak Hemis, only the 4bbl slant is a hyperpak . But did u even WATCH the vid ? What angle is this Hemi slanting at?

@@clutchkicker392ison5 Il bet you wouldn't dare to try & tell me "shut up" to my face. Only sitting in your parents' basement behind a keyboard do you speak such foolishness.

Errrr I think you'll find that it is a hemi 265 with 6 pack carbs, hence a hemi 6 pack..... not to be confused with a 426 with triples also known as a "hemi 6 pack"

@@whakatu4life285 426 Hemis never had a 6 pack, they had 2, 4 barrels.... the 6 pack came on A12 RRunners/Super Bees, 340 T/A and a few others. '68 Roadrunner owner here in the UK, owned it 41 years

Nice. However in Mopar terms 6 Pack refers to 6 Barrels or a "Six Pack" carb set-up. Our Aussie 6 cylinder HEMI 265 CID Six Packs were factory fitted with 3x2 BBL Italian side draft Weber carbs.

Each to his own Lol

When you make the best engines you leave being pretty to Ford and GM.

He upgraded to Discs all-round. Most Australian Chrysler Valiants had Front Disc Brakes, available from about 1966 and often finned rear Drums. 1970 to the last 1981 models were ventilated Discs on front.
