If you look at the car and see mostly 1968 Dodge Dart, you’re just about right…the Valiant VG was the last U.S. designed Valiant to appear in Australia, and was replaced with the 1971 Valiant VH series (the version most people picture in their heads when they think of “Australian Mopar”.) Sure, the front end is different, with the rectangular headlights and the strange placement of the turn signals/marker lights, but that’s just styling…it’s still a Dart at heart. This VG is the rolling billboard for St. Mary’s Engines in New South Wales and is an eye-catching beast, with a Sox and Martin-esque paint job and a stomper of a 440ci mill under the hood. Like any big-blocked A-body, the VG is something to be concerned with on the strip, hiking the fronts off of the ground as it heads down the strip to times hovering near the 9.60 mark. The only thing this Valiant is missing, in our eyes anyways, is a four-speed being rowed by a telepath in the driver’s seat!
