1971 Australian Valiant Charger R/T
|
This car belongs to Rob Rusak and here is information he provided about the Australian Chargers.
A brief rundown on Aussie Charger R/Ts is that they come in 5 variants, the 2 barrel, the E37, E38, E48 and E49. The E48 is vary rare, there are believed to only be 5 of them.
The E37, E38, E48 and E49 all had tripple webers as carburation. According to the factory, the E37 and E48 had 248 hp, E38 had 280 hp and the E49 had 302 hp. The E48 and E49 were standard with a 4 speed and the E37 and E38 had 3 speeds as standard. There were a few E37s with 4 speeds optioned into them.
My car is the 2 barrel model which has had a 4 speed put into it as opposed to the original 3 speed. It has the matching numbers 265 hemi in it. My car is body # 7s29 742 and is in quite good condition. The wheels are not original off the car, but are original R/T wheels. The car is optioned with A66 and A95. The A66 is the black bonnet and guard stripes and the A95 is the interior dress up package.
Update: 6/30/06
The car now has new wheels and tripple Webers have been added.
The color on these cars is called Magenta and is code MD. It is very close if not the same as Panther Pink in color.
