Something quite unique..
Hi Everyone.
I’m Marbles and I am the proud owner of a 3rd generation South African 1973 Chrystler Valiant Charger.. Slant6 with 51k on the clock.. My grandfather bought the car brand new & gave it to my father.
My dad drove it for a few years and parked it in the carport where it stayed for 33 years.
Both of them passed away so 2015 I started the process of shipping the car over to the UK. I collected it on the 6th of April.. Best day of my life.
I’ve recently joined the MMAUK & I can’t wait to meet u all & go to all the car shows. Hope to see u all soon.
I’ll try & share a picture or 2. I’m still new to this forum, trying to sus it out

Re: Something quite unique..
Stunning! I really quite fancy one of these. If you ever decide to part with it, please let me know.
One of my good friends is from SA and I've been pestering him for years for info on the SA stuff.
There aren't many of us Demon owners in the UK - will certainly be interesting to have the opportunity to look around a RHD version?

Wow, what an amazing find! Probably not the most attractive design that Chrysler ever produced, but you wont find another like that over here!
