londonitalian ◊ 2007-09-05 04:10	Importing a 5.9 V8 to the Uk in 1974?!? just after the fuel crisis??? no wonder it was in small numbers! lol -- Last edit: 2007-09-05 04:10:58
rjluna2 ◊ 2007-11-14 04:06	Third picture provided by stronghold has white backup lamp beside amber turn signal. I know that in Australia, they only have both red and amber lens cluster. Is the white backup light a requirement for the British market?
antp ◊ 2007-11-14 10:14	I guess, yes, it is probably like that in most of Europe
londonitalian ◊ 2007-11-22 02:41	No, reverse lights arent mandatory in the UK, especially not then, not even fog lamps were a legal requirement till around 1983 here.
relbia05 ◊ 2008-04-08 04:42	Hi guys, I think this chrysler is the CJ Chrysler by Chrysler, as I've owned 4 CH's and 2 CJ's and there are slight differences. The CH has clear indicator lenses on the front while the CJ has amber. 2ndly the front indicators double as parking lights (on the CH)so when the headlights are on the indicators light up as well ( headlights and 2 clear indicators). The CJ has its parking lights in the headlight so they don't light up the indicators when headlights are on. In the pictures it shows amber indicators and only the headlights lit up which here in Australia would mean that this one is a CJ. It may have been different for exported versions as when you look at the rear indicators the amber lense is small and there is a clear/white reverse light next to it which is not on the Aussie versions (though new cars of all makes and models do now have the clear reverse lights on the back, the early cars didn't). The front badge on the grille is different to the Aussie version and my current CJ is an SE and its emblem sits on the bonnet , if you go to my cardomain site you will see my current CJ http://www.cardomain.com/id/relbia05 -- Last edit: 2008-04-08 15:29:35
antp ◊ 2008-04-08 11:02	But the plate is registered as a CH (cf comments above). As you said, it may be different for export, since all light-related stuff may change between Europe & Australia like they sometimes do between Europe & USA. (nice cars that you have btw, I like the Laser ) -- Last edit: 2008-04-08 11:05:14
relbia05 ◊ 2008-04-08 14:12	Thanks, the Laser is a nice little car, really quick but has idle troubles. Actually, as far as I know the laser is the only one in Australia and its indicators had to be modified to amber, not allowed to have american red indicators unless it's over 30 years of age. Yeah the badging of cars when sold internationally can be a little different. Going by all the CH's and CJ's I have had and seen I'd swear it's a CJ but you can never be sure with imports/exports. :-) Just checked out some Chrysler books and the CH ended in 1973 with the CJ going from late 1973 to 1975 followed by the CK Chrysler. All looked similar but the indicators on front do change depending on model CH clear and act as parking lights too, CJ amber and do not act as parking lights, exactly as in the pictures above. -- Last edit: 2008-04-08 15:40:29
antp ◊ 2008-04-08 17:55	Either an error in year or in model name then...
relbia05 ◊ 2008-04-08 18:30	May never know, it is interesting though. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3053729 Here's a link to a previous CH Chrysler I owned. They used one of these in Mad Max 2 (The Road Warrior) -- Last edit: 2008-04-10 09:01:31
dsl ◊ 2011-04-08 01:01	As far as I can tell this was only sold in UK as Chrysler CH Apr 72 to Jan 75 - "Chrysler by Chrysler" was never used here. Its code was [CH] until Jan 74, when it became [CJ], so this Mar 74 car should read 1974 Chrysler CH [CJ]. A few [CK] may have been sold to special order after Jan 76, but very few.
jpts ◊ 2015-06-29 13:55	That is rare to have an Australian-built Chrysler in the UK.
Dino_rider ◊ 2017-12-06 11:20	I'ma set y'all straight. This is a CJ not a CH - don't worry about the lights, they're different in every country. Instead direct your eyes to the line of the vinyl roof at the rear. The CH angled up sharper on the rear quarter panel to the top of the boot/rear window. The CJ was straighter on the side of the rear quarter panel to accentuate the wedge shape then took a right angle to go over the top of the boot. After 10 years, solved.

Interesting - Chrysler did the same tweak on the UK Avenger GLS at the same time (see discussion here and its NZ-built twin. Must have been a global Chrysler decision.
