CUSTOM 1965/66 VALIANT 2 DOOR WINDOWLESS PANELVAN, AMERICAN STYLE DELIVERY. IT STARTED LIFE AS A VC 4 DOOR WAGON, WAS STRIPPED DOWN AND TAKEN TO PAUL KELLY @ 'SMOOTH CRUISING', WHO DID THE FABRICATION FROM 4 DOOR TO 2 DOOR. ( I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE BUILD AND FABRICATION ). LOWERED REAR WHEEL ARCHES, (3 & HALF INCHES). WAS PAINTED 8 YEARS AGO IN 2 PACK SPARKLING BURGANDY, PAINTWORK STILL LOOKS GREAT BUT HAS A FEW WEAR AND TEAR MARKS. INTERIOR IS GREAT WITH CHAMOIS COLOUR TRIM, STILL HAS REAR SEAT, 6 SEATER ALL UP WITH SPLIT BARRACUDA TILT FORWARD FRONT BENCH SEAT. FRONT SEAT BELTS, NO REAR ONES. HAS NEW WINDSCREEN, NEW WINDSCREEN & DOOR RUBBERS. HAS A 318 904 AUTO, 4 BARREL MILD CAM. RUNS AND DRIVES, NEEDS FINAL TOUCHES TO COMPLETE. 95% FINISHED. IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A RARE CUSTOM CRUISER THIS ONE IS A REAL HEAD TURNER.
I know its not a Sandman but its a pretty schmick looking thing, could easy be factory.

That's done nicely. Wouldn't mind doing that to a HZ wagon, perhaps with lengthened front doors.

I've seen a photo somewhere of a chopped van with monaro doors, maybe on here, looked good. Got a Q wagon shell here if you ever want to have a go, not a great body but mint floorpan, mainly rusty round the rear windows which wouldn't matter. Tracking down a set of coupe doors would be the most expensive bit.

Ive have a huge soft spot for Mopars ... and this certainly floats my boat

The chopped Holden van belongs to Ozbox.

22K is a lot of money fore something which would be nearly impossible to get licensed in WA and possibly the rest of oz

[sjc315]

Wasn't aware WA laws were so severe. I would have thought it would only require an engineers report for rego. Maybe issues with rear seats/belts/windows. You see a lot of more radical cars wearing plates especially hot rods and pro street style cars.

You cant even have extractors in W.A. without a mod permit believe it or not

Me too,I just picked up a low mileage but very weathered - not driven since 81 and parked behind a shed- ap5 push button auto and although its probably sacrilege to say it would have been a more advanced and probably better car than an XM Falcon or an EH looking at it now. 3 speed auto, 225 cube six, torsion bar front end, pretty snazzy in 64.

Thats harsh. So its pretty much factory spec or heaps of hassle.
