    As kids we would sit on the front fence during the summer and dream about what car we would drive around Australia. My brother picked this car😅.

    Lovely looking car. Strange to see a Regal without an internally adjustable mirror. In NZ even the Ranger XL had that as standard. Also our Regal sedans had the CxC grill

    Very nice I owned a VH orange regal hardtop with black trim auto on the column wood fake dash with round dials an a clock . Had the . Six and ahalf style rims with 23 5 60 white letters tyres sport system . The roof on the hardtops is lower then the Chargers put them side by side it’s a big difference . My VH came from Crookwell NSW he was a shearer only had it a few weeks. He got it of the original owner in orange NSW I sold it to help pay for my house was in good nick to someone in Goulburn have own many valiants chargers Dodges big block poly Dodge etc . I remember a green 265 Regal hardtop VJ in a car yard in Mudgee years ago mint . I also had a Factory 318 VH hardtop in my shed years ago sold to some one in Sydney . I new we’re there was a C by C hardtop been hit head on but could of been saved the story’s goes on .

    Column shift manual hardtops were not seen often. Even with Holden and Ford.

      & this was a much smaller seller, with most being Chrysler. You could buy anything back then.
      Soon you won't even have an engine choice. Batteries only.

    I bet very few manuals were ever made? & most of these long wheelbase coupes would have been the Chrysler version (which is itself a rare car).

    Beautiful…and so is the car.
    265in is economical…maybe compared to a 360 4BBL it might be. The manual box might drop the mpg down a bit but from memory the 265ci used to return on average about 18 to 20 mpg at best. It’s got to pull a big heavy, car around…and Vals were big. I had a VE and that was no where near the weight of the VJs and VHs.

    I had a VK 265 . Great when new and lasted 11 years.
    What happened. At 14 months a bad machining caused noisy lifter.
    Engine replaced.
    Borg auto trans stopped picking up first gear, trans replaced.
    Front seat fell apart.
    At 11 years, the car snapped in half
    Bought Fairlane

    1974 the worst year for cars in the history of auto manufacturing. Ugly and slow.

    I only like the VH-CM Models , I had a VJ ex Police Charger back in 1985, I paid $800 for it, for a ten year old car it had rust issues. But drove well
