On the way to start of our cruise today, I saw this at the servo. Quick chat the guy who uses it as his work car.
265 with 4 speed.

Val ute
There is a right way and a wrong way and then there is my way which is usually the long way.
Re: Val ute
Would've been a slanty originally?

VG. So it would have been a Hemi, but my guess is a 215. The 265 was a VH-and-later thing.
A friend had a taxi-pack 215 VH Charger (about $200) in the mid '80s. It went well enough to see off 4.2 LX Toranas, for example.

Re: Val ute
We had one of those in sedan form as a paddock basher- along with many others - when we were kids , it was the best one we ever had . We hit a tree stump and buggered the radiator and kept driving it until it stopped , let it cool down and it would start again and off we go until it stopped again - repeat all day.

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Re: Val ute
Early VGs still had the 225 slant motor, until the 215 Hemi replaced it.
This ute has a 4-speed which wasn't available in a any VG, so it's most likely had an engine transplant as well.
