The VC Valiant was longer and lower than any previous Australian Valiant model, but was essentially a facelift of the superseded AP6 model. It featured a new grille, front bumper, bonnet and front mudguards. Sedans had new rear styling with vertical tail lights. Wagons and utilities carried over the rear lights and panels from their AP6 predecessors, with wagons receiving the new rear bumper and utilities carrying over the previous models bumperettes. The VC range displayed a greater degree of differentiation between models with the Valiant, Regal and V8 each having unique exterior decoration and trim. Regal and V8 models had a chrome strip situated near the lower edge of the doors and V8 models featured a vinyl roof, bucket seats and a floor mounted gear selector with full length centre console, as well as V8 badges on the rear roof pillar, bootlid, bonnet emblem and hubcaps. The V8 sedans also featured three horizontal chrome bars on the rear quarter panel. Front disc brakes were introduced as an option in November 1966.

Fans of the hit YouTube and MotorTrend shows ROADKILL and ROADKILL GARAGE will recognise this 1971 Plymouth Roadrunner. This car was host (and former long time HOT ROD magazine editor) David Freiburger’s daily driver before he switched to the now infamous “Disgustang Mustang”.
Freiburger purchased this car to be his muscle car daily driver. The car was featured on several episodes as he and co-host Steve Dulcich went through the car’s engine, suspension and brakes. The car was eventually sold on to Brian Bodensteiner, who runs specialist mopar restoration shop Bodensteiner Body Werks in Waukon, Iowa. As a testament to the car’s reliability, Brian collected the car from Freiburger in LA and drive it 2100 miles home to Iowa. Brian finished the car off before selling it to a Mopar enthusiast in Sydney.
