By 1979 a 4.0-litre Valiant with Electronic Lean Burn beat a 2.0-litre Ford Cortina on fuel in Wheels magazine's economy test.
New Zealand held off launching the VJ for nearly a year after Australia, a 60 percent tax on big engines having killed the market's appetite.
The VH was the first Valiant Chrysler Australia engineered entirely in-house, Charger included, ending reliance on Detroit.
The VG Pacer's hardtop body lasted exactly six cars, three E31 and three E35, before Chrysler dropped the style for good.
The VF's new Hardtop grafted a Dodge Dart coupe body onto Valiant front sheetmetal — and at over 5,000mm, it's still the longest coupe ever built in Australia.
Though built on American bones, the locally-developed VE Valiant won something no US donor car ever did: Wheels magazine’s Car of the Year, Chrysler Australia’s first.
The Australian-built AP5 Valiant looked American but barely was one — Chrysler's local arm redesigned nearly everything, keeping just the doors, windscreen and front guards from its US counterpart.
Australia's first-ever Valiant quietly beat the rest of the local industry to a piece of modern electronics: it was the first Australian car built with an alternator instead of a generator.
