Random # 242: Valiant Regal
This, well ... regal Valiant Regal was spotted in North Hobart. A quick chat with its owner, Matt (0409 413 229), revealed that it's for sale for $8,000, firm. According to Matt, who's very upfront about the car, there is a bit of rust in front of the windscreen, around the rear window and under the vinyl top, but that hasn't stopped Shannons putting an agreed value of $15,000 on it.
The reason? It's a totally unmolested example, running its original motor, gearbox and all the bits that matter. The interior is first-rate, too. Matt reckons it runs like a dream and is the ideal cruiser.
It's a one (or two?) previous owner car, with it being in the hands of one older gent for thirty-odd years. The only thing that he mightn't recognise - or maybe approve of - are the new alloy wheels but, all things considered, they do rather suit the car.
I am very, very definitely not in a position to vouch for the car, other than to say that - aforementioned rust aside - it does look straight and tidy and I have to agree the upholstery, etc, was lovely. So, if you happened to be in the market for a big ol' Mopar, it might be worth contacting Matt and having the car checked out ... .
