No Pete, it's vandalism.
VG Pacer looks pretty neat.

Valiant was a Stirling Moss special painted similar to a Pacer , owned many other nice Vals 3 of them Pacers over the years

Holden utes are in good nick by the look of them .. bought both my daughters EJ sedans to learn how to drive in.. good solid L vehicles. They ***cin hated them , wanted racy Celicas like their mother had .. haha.

The White EH was my last one , sold early last year , my Mrs hasnt let me forget , anyone would think it was her car , she never spent one cent helping me to rebuild it but liked to claim it as hers lol

That Valiant looked a lot like my 1969 Dart Swinger with the orange paint and black bee tail.
Except under my hood breathed a 340 with "6 pak" tri power.
Wished I had it back today - BIG TIME!

Spot on mate , Chrysler Aust imported 69 dart shells , put their own front panels and running gear in and badged them as Valiants , these were 1970 models for us and the first year of the 6cyl hemi ( 245 ci ) , following model came out with 265 six and tripple webber carbs on race special valiant chargers here's a link if your interested

Story behind it is i bought it off a Pommie bloke that worked in the diamond mines in Sth Africa , he got the motor/box there ( Norton Motor with Matchless numbers apparently ) took it back to England where he had custom sSantee frame made and eventually emigrated and brought the bike to Aus.[/QUOtE
Now Richard and trev I hope ya read this more like salvation than vandalism ,the motor and tranny may have been in a spare parts shop

That link was for Charger not Dart.
I was fascinated by the 6 pak on the 235 6cyl. I don't remember any hot 6s back in the day over here . . . then. We had hopped up Chevy 235ci 6s 54 and earlier until the 265 V8 showed up. Those 6s are impressive!
Now you have me shopping for an old 69 Dart!

The 265 "6 Pack" had more torque than any 6 cyl engine ever produced. It took Porche to topple it about 5 years later.

I had a 4 door VG pacer with a e49 spec motor and box in it, that thing would just about lift a front wheel when it hooked up , unfortunately no pics.

I swapped a clapped out 650 Triumph for a RT Charger 25 years ago .. new baby and we needed a car .. see they are worth a few bucks these days .. that thing motored..so did the 351 GT Falcon I had for a while .. cars just never really gave me the buzz bikes did though.
