Chrysler Valiant (AP5) The Chrysler AP5 Valiant is an automobile which was produced by Chrysler Australia from 1963 to 1965. It was the third Chrysler Valiant model to be produced in Australia .Overview The AP5 Valiant was released in May 1963 , replacing the SV1 Valiant . It was the first Valiant model to be manufactured in Australia rather than just assembled there. The AP5 featured entirely new sheet-metal, with most body panels produced in Australia. It differed from the US Plymouth Valiant in having a six-bar grille, a larger boot with a different rear deck and a flat rear window . The 225 cid slant six engine was carried over from the SV1 model and remained fully imported. Suspension was substantially unchanged but employed softer rear springs. The AP5 range was increased to include the up-market Valiant Regal which featured different badgework, better seats and interior trim, auto transmission as standard, a heater with integrated demister, carpets and white-wall tyres. In November 1963 Safari and Regal Safari station wagons were added to the range. The wagons shared mechanical components and front styling with the sedans and were fitted with heavier rear springs. US Plymouth Valiant wagon rear sheetmetal was used, resulting in different rear end styling depending on production dates. Early build AP5 wagons used 1963 Plymouth Valiant wagon horizontal style tail lights while later build wagons used 1964 Plymouth Valiant wagon vertical style tail lights. Both versions incorporated amber turn signals to comply with Australian regulations. The AP5 was marketed by Chrysler Australia as the "Valiant by Chrysler" rather than as the Chrysler Valiant.Model range The AP5 Valiant was offered with 4-door sedan and 5-door station wagon body styles in six models.

Of this total, 37,292 were sedans and 12,148 were wagons.Motor sport An AP5 Valiant driven by Tony Reynolds and Tony Allen won Class D in the 1963 Armstrong 500 endurance race at Mount Panorama, Bathurst .
