NAME: Demetrius
VEHICLE: NZ New VJ Regal 318V8
Aucklanders may recognise this car - it has done many miles in the hands of its proud owner.
Purchased from us just before Xmas last year, the VJ was a primered cruiser with Tritons and Eagers - just like loads of others.
Demetrius likes to stand out, having owned some eyecatching vehicles in the past, including some race-prepped Jappas and the 'Knight-Rider' Trans Am.
Not long after getting the beast home, work began transforming the Val into a General Lee Clone. As per original (TV Series) wheels were fitted, a boot mounted aerial, front nudge bar, paint scheme and, of course, the appropriate air horns. Recent mods included a custom grille that hides the headlights.
The end result is a cruiser that turns heads wherever it goes. A+++
If you should see The General out and about, say 'Hi' to Demetrius. He's a top bloke and a good friend of mine. He is very approachable and always keen to meet like-minded enthusiasts.
Demetrius' VJ is the first Valiant that he has owned or driven. Ongoing discussions confirm that he is now a true Chrysler convert, showing that style beats top speed hands down and proving that you don't have to spend a ton developing a unique ride.
Congrats Big D, she looks fantastic. I hope you can make it to Geraldine in October. I look forward to cruising in your pride and joy.
