The Chrysler VF Valiant is an automobile that was produced in Australia by Chrysler Australia from 1969 to 1970.[2] It was released in March 1969, replacing the Chrysler VE Valiant.[2]

Changes

The VF Valiant was a facelifted version of the VE Valiant, featuring four new quarter panels, new lights and a new grille.[3] Parking and indicator lights were now mounted above the headlights.[3] Seating, safety features and soundproofing were improved,[4] Pacer and Regal 770 models were new and a hardtop body style was offered for the first time.[4]

The hardtop combined the VF Valiant front, from the A-pillar forward, with the rear of the US Dodge Dart.[3] This included the Dart floorpan with its 112-inch wheelbase.[3]

Coupe utilities retained the rear styling of the previous VE series with only the front styling revised.

Model range

The VF series Valiant was offered in 4-door sedan, 2-door hardtop, 5-door station wagon and 2-door coupe utility models.[2]

  • Valiant sedan [2] (VF-M41)
  • Valiant hardtop [2] (VF-M23)
  • Valiant Safari wagon [2] (VF-M45)
  • Valiant Pacer sedan [2] (VF-S41)
  • Valiant Regal sedan [2] (VF-H41)

  • Valiant utility [2] (VF-L20)

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]

A heavy duty variant [6] of the Valiant utility was marketed under the Dodge name.[1] (VF-E20)

Two transmissions were available.[2]

  • Three speed manual [2]
  • Three speed "Torqueflite" automatic [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.

A 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]
