Today there's so many "bought" cars around. Be they finished drive cars or pro built show cars rather than home built. Great if you have the money, or no skills! I can understand it with outright show cars as the required standard is so high today. But I like fabricating and achieving what I can...

Considered by some as Mopar & not by others! My first V8, 1971 Rambler Rebel, 1 of 100 New Zealand built that year. The one I shouldn't have sold. Not fast but quite quick and sounded fantastic, in fact the nicest sounding V8 I've owned!

Mine's an Aussie 1967 Dodge ute. Heavy duty version of the VC Valiant ute. Based model with 225/3 speed manual only option. No radio, heater, painted bumpers, hub caps & grill. This one has the Valiant grill/headlight surrounds, but the Dodge (2nd image) should have the basic plastic headlight...

Dan's on the job, he and I have been sending PM's about this....it's been a while Doc, how's it all going? A few guy's here are having problems at shows with thier 62 Valiants being classed as Australian not American! Basicly the only Australian input was the labour...bet half of that was done...

There appears to be a lot of conjecture as to what a CKD really means…..it appears that people are taking it that it’s just some basic parts and the rest was Australian there by taking away the Valiant’s American heritage…..others believe the CDK was the entire car and that no, or very little...

the debait as to a 1962 Valiant being Australian or American has been brought up again.....to mine, and many others knowledge they were fully designed and all components made in the US and sent to Australia as a knockdown package to be assembled here under US direction, making them an Australian...

It's almost a year on so I'll bump this thread to the top to see if anybody's watching! It would be interesting if somebody has the info!!

Would love to chop the top but rego will be giving me a hard enough time as it is! Reg's here would make a chop almost impossible today. Shame really it would set the car off nice. Looking at Budnik X - Series ice aluminum wheels as on the cover of the latest Summit catalog. Rear handles are...

Hi all, the car below is the same model as I'm building and it's basically the same colour as I'm planning on useing. What are your thoughts, good or bad, doesn't matter. Just looking for a cross section of opinion! I'll be running 17 or 18" billet wheels so the overall look will be more Street...

I'm building a 62 Plymouth Valiant and fitted a tank from a VF Pacer, basicly a Dart in the US. It has a nice flat filler tube that fits in the floor. I used a 68/69 Barracuda recessed flip filler.

Wrong brand but this is what a made twenty years ago for my Aussie 1969 Holden Brougham (luxo barge of that year) Made from original single snorkle air cleaner with added second snorkle and back end cut away for air flow.

It’s interesting to read about so many of you being interested in the best E.T you can get by going for the lowest ratio you can then complaining/commenting!! about open road revs. Aussie Street machine magazine ran a test day with a strip based Holden ute. Numerous passes with 4.11:1 diff...

A couple of weeks is nothing with him. I'm still waiting a year later! Doesn't like to give any specifications of his products, down here no specifications no rego!

Mine knew about my car addiction when we met. Over the years I’ve built her two cars and she enjoys the scene as much as I do! We’ve been showing and cruising cars together for 20 years now, and love every minute of it. She was the one to tell me to buy my current project, a 1962 Plymouth...

Thats Aussie dollars so the way things are at the moment that would be a few thousand more in US dollars. If you're doing it do it properly even if it takes a little longer. I have bought numerious NOS parts from the states as well as aftermarket things like my vintage air. Normally better...

My 1962 Plymouth Valiant has soaked up around $23,000 so far. That bought a good rust free body, 2012 alloy V6 and o/d auto, fully rebuilt disc brake diff, all suspension parts, Dakota digital VHX gauges and Vintage air. Still to fund is front discs, panel and paint, wheels and materials only...

Come on Aussies there must be more of us out there!!

Way back in the day, I owned this 1971 Rebel 304. What an engine,304,343,360,390,401 all used the same block and were full interchange able. Stanard with triple angle valve seats many with high flow heads. The little 304 pulled 6,000rpm with ease and still could return 25mpg at 70 mph. The sound...

Ken, that's just plain greedy! I'm envious! Very nice collection. Marty

We now have many Aussie members on this forum so I thought it was time we all let everbody know who we are and what we drive. I'm based in Canberra and currently building a 1962 Plymouth Valiant as it's known in the US or as we know them an S Series. This is being heavily modified with EFI Hemi...
