1963 Chrysler Valiant AP5 - Resto Mod
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.
And the AP5 was a hit, with Chrysler Australia selling 50,000 AP5s in a little under two years before it was replaced by the AP6.
