Tha valiants


In 1962 started the production of the first car made of chrysler fevre, a Valiant V200. This car was the competitor of ford falcon and chevy 400. In 1963, we was assembled a slant six engine, with a single barrel carburetor, a holley RX 7251, with three's speed transmision. They did Haven't air conditioning or another type of confort .


In 1964, appears the valiant III, only changes the body but , they have the same engine parts



The dodges

In 1969, dodge did made a three models for satisfy some people . They are the Dodge Polara, very basic ( my car ), Dodge Coronado ( A full version) , and Dodge GT ( it's same dodge polara but a deportive version, a powerful camshaft, disc brakes and an intake manifold with two carbs of single barrel, and the barracura A833).





DODGE GTX, A NEW IDEA




Apparently in December 1969, Mexico had brought a Dodge Dart GTS 340 with 6200cc V8 engine. Chrysler's idea was to present a competition to assess public reaction to the new model. Somehow, conducted a "market study" of a coupe with a V8 engine model for the Argentine market. In 1970 he presented the coupe model Dodge line. Line chassis coupé was based on the chassis of the line sedan, therefore many of the body parts are interchangeable between those models. Of course, the suspension scheme was the same with forward longitudinal torsion bars and springs back. The only available coupe models the first years were the Dodge GTX and Dodge GTX V8. As can be deduced from the name, the only difference between the two models was the engine. Outwardly were the same (except for the badge "V8" on the sides of the front fenders).


In April 1972, the Dodge coupe was renewed along with all the big line, changing the front brake lights and interiors. The GTX Dodge 6 cylinder produced and kept throwing the market the Dodge Polara 2 door with equipment and termination level similar to the Dodge Polara. It came without the vinyl roof with drum brakes on all 4 wheels, box 3 changes the wheel and tires were 735x14 6x14 and decks. As optional, could be ordered disc brakes for the front wheels, and the fourth box with floor shifter.




DODGE 1500

Chrysler Fevre was wanting to enter the market for midsize cars. He then took the Hillman Avenger and modified certain aesthetic and mechanical details to suit the taste of the Argentine market. The front was chosen based models and in December 1969 and have at least one unit, probably brought from the UK. In November 1970, Chrysler Fevre available at least two prototypes of the model to evaluate the aesthetic and mechanical solutions that could be seen in some spy photos in car magazines of the time. Circulated in May 1971 and the first models on which they were tested pre-series and the August 12, 1971, plunged into the Dodge 1500 Argentine market at the Plaza Hotel. The Dodge 1500 was stamped on the ground of Mount Sparrow and then finished assembling plant in San Justo, along with the largest line of Chrysler. The main aesthetic difference over the English model were the taillights with a more orthodox in the national model. Also the wheels, grille and headlights have some differences with the British model. The bumpers are also different, with the 1500 Dodge more like the big line of Chrysler in Argentina.





In May 1978 he presented the new 1500 Dodge received a facelift that left him similar to Chrysler Avenger introduced two years ago in Europe. It is unofficially known as Dodge 1500 Series 8. The novelty of the new range was rural, which had been talking about since 1975, which is not produced in the country so far. One of the major differences with the European model were the windows in the Argentine model were of one piece with no vents. The same happened with the taillights that were a different design than the European and Brazilian. With respect to the previous model, replaced the front bumpers, rear lights, windows and full interior. The 1500 Dodge line lost the sports model and was constituted by the Dodge 1500 Dodge 1500 Dodge 1500 M1.8 and M1.8 Cottage. The carburettor 1.5 engine models changed again by a Holley 1908 RX7040-A. The 1.8 kept the panel between the lights black color stop and reverse lights were located below the bumpers. The rear suspension rural model is different from the four-door model. Adding a panhard bar that allows rear torque arms, being perpendicular to the axis, resulting in a better held. For models "Full", including the rural, could be ordered as optional air conditioning. Apparently, the automatic gearbox was still offered as an option.





In January 1980, Chrysler Fevre was acquired by Volkswagen. During that year the line was going to be called Volkswagen Dodge 1500 Series W. The line remained apparently unchanged from the previous one, with Volkswagen models Dodge 1500 W (with a base model and one full), 1500 Dodge Volkswagen Volkswagen 1.8 W and W. Dodge 1500 1.8 Rural With this change of hands, there are minor cosmetic changes in the model. Among the few differences found between the cars made by Chrysler and Volkswagen were front lights winking in the Chrysler were orange and the white Volkswagen. The design also changed tires (for a Chrysler Sunbeam used by the British) and the 1.8 engine models no longer had the panel between the lights black color stop or reverse lights under the rear bumper. Stop lights full models were winking lights, reverse and stop separate, but within the same optical group. The base versions only kept winking lights and stop, using the stop and reverse lights. The external mirrors are replaced by a black plastic, bigger than previous and similar to those used by other Volkswagen models that would appear in the following years, as the Volkswagen Gacel. Another change was the doorknobs that while retaining the same line, were a bit more modern and aerodynamic than before. A curiosity is that some parts of the country as the tailgate, came imported from Europe. Get that gate was almost impossible (among other things by the Falklands War) and when it succeeded, expensive cost
In Europe, the 1500 Dodge Argentine was based on the Hillman Avenger English. Rootes (Hillman belonging group) was thinking of producing a model to compete with the Ford Cortina (here be marketed as Ford Taunus).





Added

Valiant II
In 1963 he began manufacturing in the country 6 cylinder engines destined for Chrysler cars. He then presented the country Valiant II, it was the same Valiant V200 with some minor revisions. Among the most important changes was the engine, now national, and larger displacement.



Valiant III
Just one year after launching the Valiant II, in 1964, presented the Valiant III. Mechanically Valiant II was the same but with a different body, without the typical fender fins on the style of the Chevrolet Impala. The engine was the same the Valiant II

In June 1965 the line was extended with the Valiant III finally Coronado as deluxe version, and the Valiant III GT as sporty version. Both models were presented at the Golf Club of Palermo. The Valiant III Coronado was mechanically equal to Valiant III, the difference was in the luxury details like the vinyl roof on the back along with the metallic gray of the front of the roof and the servo-brake series. Inside the seats were of better quality "gray genuine leather" and had armrests between the front seats and between the rear. He also had power windows and tinted glass. Another feature was the color, and could be ordered only in black. The weight was announced at 1325kg. However, the Valiant III GT had a more powerful engine with higher compression and two carburetors.







To mount two carburetors in the inline-6​​, had a special intake manifold, very hard to get today and highly sought after by fans. If published data are correct, this scheme makes the Valiant IV GT in the car with the 6-cylinder engine more powerful than those manufactured by Chrysler in Argentina. We had to wait about ten years for another model of Chrysler 6 cylinder engine will "scoot" to this power (Dodge Polara RT). While the gearbox was the same as that used in the other models, was mounted to the floor (instead of driving) and had a shorter 3.31:1 differential. These characteristics made ​​an interesting car for the time. Among the aesthetic differences were the vinyl roof in the front half of the roof (exactly the reverse of the Valiant III Coronado) and colors, they could be white, beige, red or gray. Inside, the seats both front and rear were red vinyl bucket seats, seat belts on all four seats and tachometer in the center console. The weight was also declared 1325kg


Valiant IV
In May 1966 he appeared in the manufacture of San Just the Valiant IV line replacing the Valiant III with the same models: IV Valiant, Valiant and Valiant Coronado IV IV GT, virtually identical to the Valiant III, with some cosmetic differences. This model was already 94% of their national origin parts. Self measurements show that the chassis was the same as the Valiant III. The only differences were in the length and height which increased only slightly. The total length of the car changed a bit because of the new trunk and tail, along with the bumpers and fenders. The high changed by the change of traffic, with wheels 14 "x5" and 6.95x14 tires.
