Avengers on Trademe (NZ's EBay)

[Pitcombe]

 
It took me 25 years over here in the U.K. to find an Avenger GLS in that colour, and even then it didn't have the matching mauve interior. I think it is the only one left in Violet (met) in U.K. That's two I have come across in New Zealand, so that looks like it is New Zealand 2 : 1 United Kingdom  . Looks in a similar condition to the one I bought, so lots of potential.  Hope it finds a good home.

Hmm, This "Wagon" is back on trademe.

Something very dodgy about it. I think it has had it's number plates swapped. He is selling it as a 1979 Chrysler Avenger wagon, even though it is clearly a Hillman wagon, which puts it at pre-78. And when you carjam the number plate then it comes up as a saloon, not a wagon, and the VIN number on the plate matches a saloon.

Not sure if I should say anything on the auction, because the new owner might be in for a nasty surprise when they go to register it and find that the plates are for a Chrysler Avenger Saloon, but the car is a Hillman Avenger Wagon.

Interesting yeah : but nice car still!

I asked the seller to post a picture of the tags.

BP7H41 0166

Paint trim CM VP NZ

Which is from a 1979 Chrysler Avenger GLS sedan with a vinyl roof. So someone has definitely swapped the plates over at some stage.

It's a nice wagon and they are super rare. Not sure what you would have to do to get it all legal again without the original plates and VIN number.

BTW, for those who are playing at home. Here is how you decode a VIN number

So BP7H41 attached to this wagon is:

BP= Model AKA year it was made. P is 1979

7= drive train option

H= price class, High

41= Sedan body type. sedan is 41 and wagon is 45

Compare that to my wagon which is BQ7M45, you will see it's a BQ, so 1980 and that the wagons are in the Medium price range, and the body type is 45 for a wagon.

They share the same coding system as the Valiants. So my Charger is VH8H29 which decodes to

VH= VH 1972 Model
8= 265 Hemi Auto
H=High price range
29= Charger body type

79 Chrysler Avenger

Seller location: Christchurch City, Canterbury, NZ

   
• Description

Classic old Chrysler/Hillman Avenger, it is de registered and will need to be re complied, not too much of a mission being a NZ new vehicle.
I purchased this as a project a while ago but have too many "projects" so selling a few.

The car is pretty complete, it comes with the front bumper, headlights and new front park lights. I had it running a couple of months ago and it ticked over nicely, with no knocks or rattles and did not smoke. It is pretty rust free the only real blemish being the passengers rear door (see photo's) It will require a battery.

It would not take a lot of work to get it back on the road or it would make an ideal classic rally or track car. The photo's are the best description.

Hillman or Chrysler avenger for sale as need the money for something important. I've done and spent alot of time and money on this car to get it to specs. Wof expired this month but rego til 1/1/20 I've stripped off the paint and taken pics to show it has no rusts. This baby is a great deal, despite the age the bodies strong and engine runs. I've put twin carbs in it. Still idles rough but on the road does very well. Few things still need to be done. So slowly getting onto it but if it sells in mid way I'm happy. $6000 is my bench mark as I've put sweat and blood into it. Sad to see it go but hope goes to a good home. Less

1980 CHRYSLER AVENGER... { REGO ON HOLD } $1 RESERVE AUCTION TO LET THE MARKET DECIDE ITS VALUE.

These are getting hard to get, runs and drives, i think it may be the only one listed on trade me at this time. Goes well, 4 speed manual, 1300c car but was told its had a 1600cc engine fitted quite some time ago. Its actually quite a tidy car for its age, havnt found any rust other than a bit in the boot lid, ideally another boot would be the way to go as its also been cut open to gain access. The regos on hold and has the original black number plates. Tyres will need replacing its been parked up for 12 months.

Will not come with the battery.

Strictly as is where is with no warrantys, come and veiw to make up your own mind as to its condition.

Payment & pickup within 3 days of this auction closing or will be relisted...

Nice & tidy!

[avenga]

Looks pretty nice, I have actually been looking for a cheap run around to drive to the girlfriends house, I was going to buy a cheap jappa but I could just get yet another Avenger

[JoKer]

ahahhaha you know how ironic & odd that sounds aye LOL the 1UZ seemed pretty economic?

[avenga]

It is pretty good on fuel, uses less gas than the 1500 Avenger Panther, but I just don't like using them as daily drivers in rush hour traffic and leaving them parked outside etc. I blew a head gasket in the wagon so it's out of action at the moment, so I'm using the Panther, and it's a bit of a pain to drive with it's heavy steering and clutch, so I was thinking of buying a cheap jappa, but a stock Avenger could also be cool. I would just have to make a rule about no modifying this one
