1971 Australian Chrysler Valiant Charger R/T

The Valiant Charger R/T is Australia's version of the Mopar musclecar. These cars are about the size of an American Dodge Dart and when properly equipped, was very fast. The car shown at right was for sale on Ebay in 2002. Below is the information from that listing. I would have loved to been able to buy this car and show it with my own Charger.

Vehicle Description From Ebay:

This is one of the rarest Mopar mini muscle cars ever made! Chrysler of Australia built the Charger model from 1971-1978. This 1971 Chrysler Valiant Charger R/T is a 265 Hemi six cylinder. It is one of 134 made in 1971. It is one of only 5 made in magenta. It has had a ground up restoration in 1994. It is matching numbers, right hand drive, disc brakes, sure grip rear end, has factory 36 gallon gas tank with twin filler flip top caps. It was car of the year in 1971 (Wheels Magazine). It was the fastest Australian production car in the 70's and 80's. Runs the 1/4 in 14.01.

The only alteration on this car while being restored to factory specs was a one year later four speed instead of using the original three speed. 80,000 kilometers on car, 15,000 kilometers since restoration in 1994. This exact car can be seen in the 1997 Australian movie "Powder Burn". Has won dozens of Australian major shows and is featured in several magazines. Drives like a dream, fast as all get out.

The car is garaged in Sydney Australia and will need to be trasported. Freight price for a single car container to Los Angeles is roughly $2500 U.S. plus roughly $600-$700 duties, taxes, and off loading fees complete once in L.A. Extremely rare Mopar.

Vehicle Condition:

There is a small area that the paint chipped on the inside of the trunk opening that happened transporting from paint shop.
