Though, I agree, this should be renamed to 1970-75 Chrysler Valiant Charger (origin: Aus; built in South Africa; made for ZA), as this is more probable, but I'm not sure that second car with the tail lights from a Duster and no side stripes is really the same car -- Last edit: 2019-10-01 12:30:29

But I can't seem to find a ZA-built Valiant that would have Duster's tail lights (unless they had been changed by the owner, somehow):

This is one of the few adds that I've found on the internet which does have such tail lights as mentioned:

(the link itself is dead, except for a couple of pictures):

All other Valiant Charger's seem to have typical vertically styled tail lights from a Demon, as opposed to horizontally styled ones from a Plymouth Duster :think:
