For sale a stunning example of a 1966 Chrysler VC factory V8 273ci. Presented in Spanish Red with Black vinyl interior, this 2 owner maintained survivor with log books and owners manual is now available from our Showroom.
The VC Valiant that hit Australian showrooms in 1966 was a huge restyle versus the superseded AP6. Along with the new shape came new safety items including windscreen washers and two-speed wipers, front seat-belt mounts and reversing lights.
The VC features the first Aussie-made Chrysler V8: a 273 cubic inch (4.5L) engine, producing around 180 bhp with a 2-barrel carby, a TorqueFlite automatic, power brakes, and heavy-duty suspension. It also featured a mandatory vinyl-covered roof, separate non-reclining seats, centre console and massive, chromed shift lever for the automatic. More than 65,000 VCs were built with less than five per cent equipped with the V8 engine.
The V8 Valiants were enhanced with the addition of a vinyl roof, bucket seats and a floor mounted gear selector with full length centre console, as well as V8 badges on the rear roof pillar, boot lid, bonnet emblem and hubcaps. The V8s also got a chrome strip situated near the lower edge of the doors and three horizontal chrome "Sargent Stripes" on the rear quarter panel.
For sale is a rare 1966 VC Valiant V8 sedan in factory Spanish Red with Black vinyl trim. In stock standard condition and running the matching numbers 273ci V8 engine, this VC Valiant is in excellent maintained condition.
In 1997 the vehicle recevied an external paint freshen, maintaining original paint the in engine bay, door jams, boot area and undercarriage. It also still retains its orginal Black Vinyl roof and Chrome external moulds. Inside the VC retains its orignal Black vinyl trim, door cards, T-bar Console, Crash Pad, Carpet.
The vehicle has undergone a driveline overhaul prior to selling, and drives nicely.
Originally delivered on the 6th of May 1966 by Bennison P/L in Shepparton, Victoria. The Vehicle was last registered in 1998.
Showing 29,051 miles, the VC is supplied with log books, owners manual, a radio manual and two sets of keys.
Riding on factory steel rims with excellent 195/75R14 tyres and the original hubcaps, this is a stunning usable classic Mopar perfect for weekend cruising.
