WoW It's amazing where the valiant Chargers ended up. They weren't cheap in their day and Chryslers weren't the most popular vehicle in their time either but they were up there with the other two manufacturers in the price range. I really liked the police chargers. (please forgive I can't remember the model) but a friend was a copper at the time and he bought and built his charger to the specs of a police highway patrol vehicle...It handled like a go cart !!! Friggin scary in the passenger seat. !! I loved it.

Talking about old Valiant police cars.
All of the following are x cop cars I have found out bush, except the VK sedan, I bought that in Alice for the V8 driveline.
First is a VF sedan, the only way to tell on this model was tha factory color code.
This is a VJ Charger K10 code car (265 with 3spd floor shift) it had the same LSD diff, rear springs, steering box, sway bar as the R/T chargers.
It is one of 11 (so I have been told?) built for SA police force.
I have seen an original picture of the car with all 11 lined up (I also have the original number plate for shed art)
This one is a CM sedan, very late build date (within a couple os months of production end), it is a 6 cylinder auto sedan (Detective car).
And here is the K14 VK sedan I bought

You might know the answer to a long time mystery...I was too young to be able to have a look at it myself and never found out what the problem was.
My uncle owned a brand new VF auto and every now and then the thing would spin out !
I witnessed it once when we were coming back from somewhere and mum and dad were following the uncle and aunt. We were in traffic leaving a 35mph zone ...no acceleration because of the traffic and the Valiant did a perfect 180 without crossing the road centerline.
Dad even had time to pull up behind him off to the left. The road was dry. Have you heard of this happening in the VFs.....The uncle ended up getting another car.

As a young weekend learner before my apprenticeship I fitted up a new twin exhaust system on a HJ station wagon GTS mock up for a guy, it was T bar auto so I wanted to stick shift it thru the gears on a test drive, went ok for a 253 too. Got it up to about 60 mph in a 60kmh zone in Queanbeyan where the road is quite wide near the YMCA netball courts, as I slotted it into 3rd (D for drive) it went thru the gate and picked reverse. The resulting 360 spin was about 100 metres long and took forever, felt like the car was going to roll over left then right as it came around, the fire extinguisher went off in the front passenger floor and there was powder and sh*t everywhere, including my jocks.
The tar was very coarse and new and those marks stayed there for 2 years. Drove back to the shed shaking like a dog shi**ing razors blades and cleaned the powder out of the cab.
Mate that owned the car knew something had happened but couldnt quite finger me for it.
Also had air shockers on my old VJ valo and when pumped right up it would spin at the drop of a hat.
