1968 Chrysler Valiant Sedan - Blue - 78,969 Miles - 225ci Inline 6-Cylinder
The Chrysler Valiant holds a significant place in Australian automotive history as a practical, affordable family sedan that dominated the local market throughout the 1960s and 1970s. This 1968 example represents the classic era of the Valiant nameplate, powered by Chrysler's robust 225 cubic inch inline 6-cylinder engine paired with an automatic transmission. The Valiant's reputation for reliability and straightforward engineering made it a staple of Australian roads, and surviving examples from this period are increasingly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors.
This particular sedan presents in honest condition reflecting its age and 78,969 miles of use. The blue exterior shows patina consistent with a vehicle of this vintage, with surface rust visible on the lower body panels and door sills typical of a classic that has seen genuine use. The bodywork displays minor dents to the driver side door, and the window seals show age-related deterioration. The interior trim presents with wear appropriate to the vehicle's years and kilometres, with the original steering wheel and dashboard visible in the cabin. The 225ci inline 6-cylinder engine bay shows signs of age but retains original components, and the automatic transmission operates as expected. This is a genuine, unrestored example that retains its original character and patina, appealing to buyers seeking an authentic period piece rather than a concours restoration.
At the current market guide of AUD $8,000 to $12,000 for unrestored 1968 Valiants in this condition, this sedan represents fair value for a driver-quality classic with genuine provenance. The 225ci engine is known for durability and simplicity, making it an approachable project for enthusiasts. Original Valiants from this era are becoming harder to find as survivors, making this an opportunity to acquire a piece of Australian motoring heritage.
