Watch out for scammers.
Photo is of a fake account claiming to be us, selling 2nd parts.
We do not have time for wrecking cars & selling 2nd hand parts. We will leave that to the wreckers.
We put cars back together.

Chrysler operated several manufacturing and assembly plants in Australia, mostly located in the state of South Australia and the city of Adelaide. There was a Dodge truck assembly plant, an engine plant at Lonsdale, and the main car assembly plant in Tonsley Park, Adelaide, which was known as Chrysler Park. This main assembly plant produced around 50,000 cars per year at its peak. In the 1960s, most of these cars were based on the US Valiant and Dart, but by 1971 they were manufacturing unique and larger Australian versions of the A-body, including the Valiant sedan, Regal, Charger, Station Wagon, Ute, Hardtop, and long-wheelbase top-of-the-line Chrysler. Pictured is the VF Chrysler Valiant on the production line at the Tonsley Park assembly plant in 1969.

The Australian made Holden Red six cylinder engine being assembled at Holden's Fishermans Bend engine assembly plant in Port Melbourne, Victoria. The Holden Red motor as it was known was released in August 1963 with the EH Holden model and ceased production in March 1980 with the HZ Holden, VB Commodore and UC Torana. Over the years engine capacities ranged from the 2.25 Litre 138ci, 2.45 Litre 149ci, 2.65 Litre 161ci, 2.85 Litre 173ci ,2.95 Litre 179ci, 3.05 Litre 186ci and the 3.3 Litre 202ci. The motor also went through mechanical changes into the 1980's when it changed to the Blue motor in the VC-VH Commodore and the WB Holden commercial range. Then the Black motor in it's final stages when it was fuel injected and computer controlled spark timing (EST) was introduced on the VK Commodore in 1984. The engine would then be eventually phased out in late 1985.
