Model rangeThe VF series Valiant was offered in 4-door sedan, 2-door hardtop, 5-door station wagon and 2-door coupe utility models.[2]
The hardtop models were introduced in September 1969.[3] There were also 20 Pacer station wagons built. These show up in production records as model code VF-S45. [5] Dodge utilityA heavy duty variant [6] of the Valiant utility was marketed under the Dodge name.[1] (VF-E20) Engines and transmissionsFive engines were offered in the VF Valiant range.[2]
The “High Compression” six was fitted to the Pacer and was not available in other models.[2] The "Fireball" V8 was standard on Regal 770 models.[2] Two transmissions were available.[2]
Chrysler VF VIP{{Main|: Chrysler VIP}}In May 1969 Chrysler Australia released the VF series Chrysler VIP[7] (VF-P41). The VIP had a 112-inch (2850 mm) wheelbase, which was 4 inches longer than that of the Valiant sedan.[2] The VIP was visually differentiated with a four headlight grille, unique tail-lights and a “limousine” rear window.[2] The car was badged and marketed as the “VIP by Chrysler”,[7] unlike the VE model, which was a Chrysler Valiant VIP.[2] The VIP station wagon was no longer offered. Production and replacementA total of 52,933 VF series models, including 3,721 VIPs, were built [8] prior to its replacement by the VG Valiant in March 1970.[2] {{Clear}}See also
