    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.

    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
    wadda bout the ramblers?? I always thought they were pretty cool!!

    When I had mine (black with primer spots) everyone used to give way to me

    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.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    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.
