No not another Aussie

Oh! Sorry I missed this post. Late to the party as usual! Another Aussie? Yeah! I’ll take a gaggle no problem. 99% of you guys all way cool! Welcome aboard.
Hi all, I have made a one or two posts here so thought id introduce myself, Luke aka dodgy, Yes another Aussie, I'm sure you guys have lots of us hiding out hear.
I have owned Many Australian Chrysler cars over the years(I'm in my late 40's) from my first car on and only within the last century have had a brand X, I've mostly had non desirable valiants with the exception of two of them that would be considered collectable that being a AP6 V8 and the VE vip wagon both of them factory 273 engine cars. at present I have 5 A body Australian valiants and one of your 70 E bodies.
I use too hang out with the Aussie forums but they have died in the arse since FB has became popular, I try to keep away from there as it does my head in. Anyway that's how I have ended up in this place and there is plenty of good reading so sorry in advance if I drag up some old threads.

This one here is a 1974 CJ Chrysler by Chrysler , another Australian mopar loved only for it's tuff drive line, they started life in 71 with the CH series followed by this one the CJ and the last the CK in 76 , the standard drive line in these was a 360 two bbl backed with a 727 and mostly a 2:77 rear, in the last of them mid run CK you could only get the 318, of cause there was options up and down the line but the 360/727 was the plant for the CXC, this lead to many of these things left to rot with no engine and trans as they were a good option to get your poverty pack 6 cylinder valiant some balls, chuck this drive line in with a four barrel intake and carb and exhaust with a better rear gear and you had yourself a car with some Street Creed. So anyway this sorta brought the old CXC down to a parts car level and many people didn't want to pay much more than what the running gear was worth, This is where i come in the cheap bastard I am buying only the unloved and undesirable but luck would have it this one survived being sold new to a farmer and later on became a deceased estate and fell into the hands of a young fella that had no real ideas of what to do with it and began to fiddle with it. I come along at the right time and purchased it from him and here it sits as a survivor.

Welcome! It is great hearing more of the Aussie Mopers. Australia is a huge country no doubt, just wonder what were the production numbers of some of the cars and how many seem to exist out there in the "wilds"!? Or is it "outback" or over yonder!!??? Anyway welcome mate!
