  • Following my last video on Ant's Chrysler Valiants, this is his 99% completed 1970 VG Valiant Pacer. A lovely example of a classic Australian car.
    The original video has been very popular... view it here • Car Stories | Ant and ...

    Very Nice Ride, Sadly for VG's, I had a AP6, which I had a Pacer Interior fitted, I liked those Tombstone Buckets & Rear Seat, Nice to see NOT all VG's were stripped for Spares ..

      Thanks for that 🙂 cars are definitely a LOT more than the sum total of their parts, for sure. My mum drove a Charger too back in the day. She's only 5 feet tall and knocking on 80 now 😉

      @@BryceBrown1 Ha! Mum was 5 foot 2 and wheeled the VH Regal 770 318 that replaced the Pacer around Sydney’s North Shore for years. I learned to drive and passed my driving test in that beast. Great to see them. 👍

    In the early eighties I had a 245 two barrel ,3 on the column manual VG sedan ,it ran strong ,I wish I still had it ,Id do a Pacer replica, probably in Hot Mustard. Actually that VG was written off after being rear ended by a very tidy VF sedan, it turned out that the VF's front end was rebuilt using my VG for parts .Later on I imported a VG Pacer 2 door hardtop in Hemi Orange, after I sold it, it ended up with a crunched front end as well .

      My E31 was bought of Southern Chrysler in Melbourne. The mechanics enjoyed servicing at their workshop and one mechanic a Kiwi bloke from Todd's in Auckland had my suspension handling really well and the 2 barrel engine set up to racing performance that clutches didn't last for more than 6 months but apart from that and an inadequate 3 speed manual box went really well and braking was superb
