1972 Chrysler Valiant VH Charger
Description
Offered for auction is my 1972 VH Valiant Charger, presented in honest, original condition and retaining its matching numbers drivetrain.
This is a genuine, unmolested Charger that has been well cared for and sensibly maintained. It has not been over-restored or modified and remains largely as it left the factory, making it an increasingly hard example to find.
Key details:
- Matching numbers engine and chassis
- Original specification throughout
- Factory paint and trim confirmed by ID plates
- Interior, engine bay, and exterior reflect originality
- Interior presents very well for its age
- Starts easily, runs smoothly, and drives as it should
- New VTNZ WOF and current registration, ready to drive away
The vehicle has recently been serviced, inspected, and certified. It shows honest, age-appropriate paint, consistent with a well-preserved original car. It presents well in person, and photographs accurately reflect its condition.
A cold-start and running video, along with additional images, are available on request (WhatsApp/email) for transparency and buyer confidence.
This is a NZ-assembled example that has been owned and enjoyed rather than flipped.
The vehicle has been recommissioned for road use and is ready to be driven and enjoyed by its next owner.
The auction is being run for an extended period to allow genuine enthusiasts adequate time to inspect and satisfy themselves.
Located in Manawatu. Inspections are welcomed by arrangement, and I am happy to assist out-of-town buyers where required.
If you are looking for a correct, matching numbers VH Charger that has not been over-capitalised or modified, this is a solid and authentic example.
Happy to answer sensible questions.

Great to hear you’ve got a Todd Motors Charger as well, awesome cars and a real piece of NZ auto history john.1993 (8 • Thursday, 12 February 2026Hi there just wondering is the milage accurate (1st time round the clock?) and where did you get the cc rating from cos a 265 is around 4340cc not 4015? Thanks illicit7 (78 • 8:00 pm, Fri, 13 FebHi, thanks for the question. You’re correct, it’s a 4.3L (265ci). The 4015cc figure was an auto-fill from Trade Me based on the rego and I didn’t pick it up when listing, so thanks for pointing that out! In terms of mileage, I can’t confirm whether it’s first time around the clock given the age of the car. I can say that in the 6 years I’ve owned it, it’s only done about 200km as it’s been stored and only taken out occasionally. john.1993 (8 • Friday, 13 February 2026
