Chrysler Drifter
The below is an excerpt from the April 2026 Edition of the Museum Musings
Chrysler Australia added a panel van to the Chrysler CL Valiant range in April 1977, and later introduced the “Drifter Pack” as an option on that body style.
The Drifter Pack included a Chrysler Charger grille, a sports steering wheel, radial ply tyres, styled wheels and special exterior paint and decal treatment with colour-coded bumpers.
The 4.3 litre Hemi 265 engine and a four speed floor shift manual transmission were standard on the Drifter. In spite of its option pack status, Chrysler marketed the model as the Chrysler Drifter without using the name “Valiant”.
The Drifter pack was also available on the Chrysler Valiant Utility, which was also marketed as the “Chrysler Drifter”.
The Drifter styles of the panel van and utility body ended in 1978 when Chrysler Australia discontinued the CL series.
