WTB: VH-VJ Valiant Ranger

[White trash]

Just putting the feelers out if anyone knows of anything.

Looking for a Valiant Ranger as per above title. Decent rolling body with no running gear would be good but I'll have a look at complete cars. The less rust the better, but also the cheaper the better.

Not adverse to a wagon either but no Chargers or Coupes please.

If anybody knows of one sitting in someones shed or backyard, give us a holler. It's telling me I've got to put a location field in so I've grabbed Auckland but will look into anything in the North Island.

Cheers

Had a Ranger sitting in my front yard a few years ago....no engine,but a 318 in the boot.I towed the lot onto the front verge and rang the Council to take it away.

[Ixion]

Vandal. Barbarian.

Stronger words were used.This was at home (Auck) and it was my Bro in Law's car....he wouldn't move it,so I did.I had 7 brand new 318 pistons....I could of made something out of it....yeah right.

Standard paint on a Ranger must be one of the worst colour choices on any car ever made.

I had a VF with 318 (whose heads I'd had reconditioned) - mounted 2 inches off centre (due to slant-6 engine mounts?).

Sold it to a wrecker for $400 before I went on my O.E. (in 1991).

Three years later was living in same town, and went to same wrecker for Mark IV Cortina bits.

Asked about the Valiant and he remembered it. Mainly because the engine sat on his floor for two years before he begged someone to take it away.

The slant 6 and 318 were the best engines in any cars that ever came out of Aust.But of course they weren't Australian engines,they could never do anything that well.

[HDTboy]

Rahn has a wagon Jimmy. Try getting hold of Aria to see if she wants to part with it.

I miss my AP-5.

[merv]

Trashy mate are you living out West now or something?

[Forest]

Though my mates stopped calling me "the white maori" after I sold it.

[White trash]

genuine mopar racing gear on them.
We had to pull one for an overhaul,its first in 10 years
and we didnt do much
:gob:

[tri boy]

Only brand of ute that would carry the speedway sidecar, with the tailgate closed.
Abos's loved them. Could carry 1/2the tribe to town, and crashed real well.
Endorsed by pissed abos everywhere.

[White trash]

Yeah I also owned an AP6 with a nicely massaged 225 up it. Fitted a shift kitted 727 and B&M shifter. Most tail happy fucken car I've ever owned. My god it was fun in the wet.

[riffer]

Man I miss my VJ too. 318 V8, twin pipes, Coby mufflers, and the Rally Track pack off the RT Challenger massaged to fit. Originally was silver blue with vinyl roof. Ended up black on black...

Stacked in on the 'takas back in '89.

What a dumarse. :pinch:

Nah mate, far too tidy to bastardise and that's almost a full years salary for this guy.

Absobloodylutely beautifull car though.

[JimO]

there is a ap5 sitting out in the open next to a old derelict service station in Duntroon inland from Oamaru been there for years and there used to be charger and a xc falcon coupe up a drive way not far away that hadnt moved for several years but disapeared just before xmas

[Motu]

Last year the guy next door (not the one with a dozen cars on their front lawn,this one had six,most in the back yard,I only had 5,now 3) had a couple of Valiant Pacers in the back yard - our cat had kittens in the one closest to the hedge.He put up a 6x9 shed and the Pacer's have gone.Maybe I should ask where they are..?

Next door have gone...not a single wreck on the lawn,I went over and had a look.Although there might be one under all that kikuyu.

[White trash]

Fucken found one.

VH Regal. Recond and massaged 265. Converted to three speed manual floor change(recond as well), 15 inch Cragers, reupholstered interior, slightly lowered, absobloodylutely wicked. I'm in Mopar heaven baby.

Now just need to work out how to pay for it........
