Info about this vehicle:

1979 Chrysler Regal Sedan - Green - 200,019km - Unregistered BarnfindOverviewThis 1979 Chrysler Regal represents a significant piece of Australian automotive history from the late 1970s, an era when Chrysler Australia was producing substantial, well-appointed family sedans with genuine presence and road-going substance. The Regal nameplate carried considerable prestige during this period, positioned as a premium offering within the local Chrysler range. This four-door sedan embodies the design language and engineering philosophy of its time, with the characteristic proportions, chrome detailing, and substantial steel construction typical of full-size American-influenced sedans manufactured under licence in Australia.This particular example has been stored and is presented as an unregistered barnfind project vehicle. The car presents as a genuine time capsule, with original factory green exterior finish, original interior trim, and factory badging intact. The odometer reading of 200,019 kilometres indicates substantial use during its operational life. This is a vehicle for the enthusiast restorer or collector seeking an authentic example of late 1970s Australian motoring culture, with genuine potential for sympathetic restoration to either original specification or modern usability.The Regal's 5.2-litre V8 engine and automatic transmission combination represents the engineering approach of the era, designed for relaxed cruising and family transport rather than performance. The right-hand drive configuration confirms Australian market origin. For buyers seeking a genuine classic sedan project with original bones and authentic period character, this represents a tangible opportunity to preserve and restore a vehicle type increasingly rare in original form.ConditionThis vehicle requires comprehensive restoration. The bodywork displays extensive surface corrosion and rust throughout, consistent with extended storage. The roof panel shows significant perforation and structural rust requiring panel replacement or welding. The bonnet and boot lid are heavily rusted with paint peeling and clear coat failure evident.

The fuel filler cap area shows rust. Undercarriage inspection reveals visible rust and floor pan corrosion in multiple locations, indicating structural rust that will require assessment and remediation.Interior trim is significantly deteriorated. The seat upholstery is worn and degraded, with visible wear patterns consistent with
