this is a aussie Mopar the 69 vf valiant was the final year the Chrysler slant 6 would be used and would switch to the new aussie built Chrysler straight 6 I made this using a Revell 68 dart kit and rims from a Revell 68 charger and a slant 6 pulled out of a older build I am going to redo
I modified the grille and hood and found front and back bumpers and a body piece to use from the lower front valance in my parts boxes I dissected the dash and rearranged the parts to make a right hand dash I painted the body rust-oleum 2x gloss white and the interior is brush painted with apple barrel matte Tuscan red I hand made the south Australia license plates for it
the audio playing in the background of the video is from the shannons club tv episode on the vf valiant

G’day Michelle. Another nice build. One of my favourite Aussie cars. Dart body with Aussie designed front sheet metal and grille. Had one back in the 80’s, and my uncle had a VG Pacer 2 door, I love these 2 door Valiants, classic style. It’s probably one reason why the 68-69 Dodge Darts are my favourite US mopar of all.??

Really great model. If I may, try getting rub on lettering kits at a craft or hobby shop to do the lettering on the body and plates. All different colors are available. s-l1600.webp.0d6a853d974918c19f7eea95128f8e19.webp

Fantastic Valiant there Michelle, your attention to the differences with the US Dart is commendable. Well done.
