Too bad about the replacement engine, but that happened a lot back in the day. If too expensive to reco the motor, just throw it away and put a 2nd hand one in. Looks like the reserve is $25,000, making this R/T excellent value if a standard charger is worth that...

Yeah it is a real shame about the engine. That does hurt the price a lot.

I think it is well cheap at the moment. I would say maybe mid-30's would be fair, if it had the original engine then easily up in the 40's.

It is a pity it isn't a very well optioned R/T. It doesn't have many of the go faster bits.

This is one of my mates pacers, he sold it 10 months ago to import a big town & country wagon. Don't know why the new owner is selling it again but this is one of my favourite Valiants.

So if the buyer found a D343 motor, it would be matching numbers again?!

No. To be numbers matching it needs to be the whole engine number matching, so the only way to make it numbers matching is to find the original engine.

E.G to be numbers matching he would have to find engine number D343B00802


It more matters for low mileage cars. Like my Charger is numbers matching and has only done 95,000 Miles. So then you know my engine has only done 95K. But if I replaced that with another D331 engine you would have no idea how many miles that replacement engine has done.

NZ new factory Aussie V8.

Maybe the price is going up on Chargers again.

Yeah looks nice, original rims too, don't see that so much these days, shame it doesn't have its original black plates.
There doesn't seem to be any V8 badges on it, just 770 so can't tell from the outside it's a factory V8?

Here's a V8 charger (non-factory like most) with rego and WOF for under $19,000...

Yup, it's not factory. Chargers came out with a 318cid V8, only the E55's came out with a 360cid and they are super rare.

I can't check Carjam at the moment because it is down, but I can tell from the engine bay that it was a NZ 265 hemi originally.

Heres your chance to stand out in the crowd and own something a little different

You put a rotary in a fucking escort. You don't get any marks for creativity. Anything from the 60s, 70s, or 80s that came out in RWD has already had a rotor put into it. Try obscure european cars from the 50s or earlier.


That is a fucking ace conversion though. So tidy. So clean. I don't mind the Mark 1s too much, eh. It is really only the Mark 2s that I have a problem with. Needs better wheels though. Deep dish hotwires.


edit: and why the fuck didn't they choose a 2 door? If you are going to all the effort...

The 2 doors are very rare now, you pay top money for even a stuffed one.
Yes very clean under the bonnet...too clean actually...don't like what they've done to firewall, it doesn't look right.
The brake master cylinder is now under the dash!
And why do people keep putting in 12A's...can't they find 13B's??
