Info about this vehicle:

1971 Chrysler Valiant VG Hardtop Coupe - Black - 29,323km - 340ci V8 Automatic Restomod

Overview

The Chrysler Valiant VG holds a special place in Australian automotive history as a genuinely affordable, practical coupe that delivered genuine performance when optioned correctly. This 1971 two-door example represents the golden era of the VG generation, when Chrysler Australia was producing solid, unpretentious cars for everyday drivers who wanted style without the premium badge price. The VG Valiant 2 door coupe remains a legitimate classic with growing collector interest, particularly in restomod form.

This example presents as a comprehensively modified restomod build. The black exterior paint is deep and lustrous across all visible panels, with excellent gloss and panel alignment throughout. The coupe profile is clean and straight with no obvious dents or creases. The car sits on modern five-spoke alloy wheels with fresh rubber, a significant upgrade from original steel. The interior has been completely refreshed with modern black and grey striped upholstery in what appears to be vinyl or leather-look material, complemented by a modern three-spoke steering wheel and updated instrumentation. The cabin is tidy and functional, with the comfortable front bench making this an original 6 seater car.
The engine bay houses a 340 V8 engine installation with contemporary air intake, performance ignition system, and modern ancillaries including an MSD ignition box and blue-painted radiator hose, indicating a thoughtful restomod approach rather than a crude swap. The odometer reads 29,323 kilometres, though given the extent of modifications, this reading should be verified independently. The boot is clean and accessible with a modern carpet mat fitted.

A very tidy car with a 340 V8 engine, modern running gear, and refreshed interior represents genuine value for buyers seeking a classic Australian coupe with contemporary reliability and performance. The combination of period authenticity (body, doors, basic structure) with modern mechanicals and comfort is increasingly popular in the classic car market, particularly for drivers who want to actually use their cars rather than trailer them to shows.
