1963 Chrysler Valiant AP5 - Resto Mod ... (SOLD)

While Chrysler had been assembling cars locally since 1951, the AP5 was the first Valiant to be manufactured in Australia. Based on the Plymouth Valiant, the AP5 ‘AP’ (For ‘Australian Production’) was offered as a Regal sedan and station wagon and was powered by Chrysler’s 225ci (3.7-litre) slant six married to either a three-speed manual gearbox or Chrysler’s three-speed ‘Torqueflite’ automatic transmission.
