What the heck [VH] with not original headlights. |

The grille and headlights (but not the bumper) are from a Chrysler by Chrysler CH series, the upmarket version of the same VH series Valiant. Link to "www.curbsideclassic.com" The WEST T plate is a reference to Westies which are young people from the west side of Auckland. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westie_(person) |

Davez621 - sadly the plate no longer comes up on CarJam, but it may have been a fake private plate. It has to be between 1971 and 1973. |

A New Zealand assembled VJ Valiant Regal 770 from around 1974/75. Chrysler NZ (Todd Motors) decided to use the twin headlights and grill from the CH Chrysler by Chrysler and the nose cone and indicator lenses from the VH Valiant. These VJ fronts are unique to NZ. Front seats were also the same style as CH Chrysler, 2 big buckets that form a bench seat. All NZ Regals had either a black or tan vinyl roof as standard. NZ assembled Rangers and Chargers had same fronts as the Australian models. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_Valiant -- Last edit: 2015-06-26 12:43:19 |

so rather origin NZ than origin AUS? |

Still Australian origin, just tweaked for the New Zealand market by the assemblers. |

Also sold in South Africa as the Dodge SE with the same front configuration. http://s11.postimg.org/62u6443tv/Dodge_SE.jpg -- Last edit: 2015-06-26 13:25:27 |
