DESCRIPTION:
The Valiant Charger was introduced by Chrysler Australia in 1971. It was a short wheelbase two-door coupe based on the current Valiant VH sedan in production at the time of the Charger's release. The Charger was extraordinarily popular in Australia during the VH series and achieved critical acclaim, winning the 1971 Australian Wheels Car of the Year Award. The high performance variant of the Charger adopted the R/T name as used by Chrysler in the US. The R/T Charger was powered by a 265 ci variant of the Chrysler Hemi-6 engine. Competing in a muscle car market dominated by V8 powered cars, the R/T Charger was competitive on both the road and race track.
This car is a base model variant known as the 'double-barrel' after its carburettor configuration. It has a floor mounted 3-speed manual gearbox. The car will be returned to factory specification including the iconic 70's Hot Mustard paint. However, we have taken the liberty of replacing the original acrylic paint with a 2-pac paint to avoid the need to regularly cut and buff the car. This car was delivered with exterior and interior dress-up package options which will make for a very tough looking Aussie muscle.
This particular car was pulled out of a shed in country NSW. Having been raced at some stage during its life it was pretty beat up when we got it. Lots of panel work was required and the right chassis rail needed to be replaced due to a substantial shunt at some time and some shoddy repairs. But surprisingly there was little rust and a new driver's floor pan and a patch in the bottom of each rear quarter solved the problem.
Mark's own Charger was used to help aid the stripe placement on our car. It was a case of measure twice and apply once. The decals were scanned digitally and reversed so the stripes could be painted and cleared over.
Jamie the painter had taken his time to apply the decals and it paid of big time - just like it rolled off the showroom floor yesterday. It's incredibly shiny and straight.
Meanwhile, our resident engine guru Craig 'Jackie' Johnston has rebuilt the Hemi 265. The motor was treated to a mild cam, and the head was 'massaged' to help breath better. To top it off, the motor was blue-printed and run-in to specification. The attention to detail really makes the motor stand out in the engine bay.
Craig took the time to carefully fabricate the exhaust system. It features mandrel bends throughout and features tig-welds. It has been made with quality in mind. It lets out a throaty note without being obnoxious.
After the rust repairs and body work has been completed, the Charger had been assembled during the mock-up phase. This allows us to double and tipple check everything before paint and final assembly to avoid surprises.
An incredible amount of time and effort has gone into this restoration project. It's an work of art and we are very pleased with the result.

Hi Guys, great job on the resto & attention to detail.
I had a early 71' build 2 barrel Hemi 265 3spd. VH Pacer in Blonde Olive black interior. I also did the blackouts in gloss black, looks so much better.
The 2 barrel 265 could hold its own quite well really. I miss that car.
So Valiant be the effort reflected in our toys.
My grandpa had a Car like this ..
WOW well done team, what an incredible resto and that's one hell of an exhaust system, I feel i have missed out on hearing the note from those pipes. How about attaching a short clip of her being driven like it's intended down the road. Cheers again.
Great job guys😂❤
I'm a Holden guy but that is a beautiful car. I tip my hat to you Sir.
Great job, I liked it a lot 👏🏽 Just left it like 👍🏾

Australian car?
yes
Hi,i have a charger .i loved your resto.question do you think a replica would be worth more than everything original.i have all original 318 cl ,but,i use to sadly wreck these baby's,watch em get squished at wingfield dump ,anyway i could go like i said orig cl 77 318...also 71~72 doors..the little side window,an e49 motor we rebuilt 12.5~1 comp ran all the right stuff in the motor.but put 4bbl on it with the 245 head n 2.02 valves blah blah.,back to the question,or should i make a replica ,if it was just for sales purposes so replica or original.Absolutely georgeous restoration Loved every second of your work n how it turned out.oh was it 2pak or acrylic?.God bless ox oh it did come out way better in 2pak,found the more info button... :) be safe n keep the great restorations.
So, what, sort of an "un-Slant" six?
Hemi 265
looks great except for the stripes, why would you go to all that trouble and not get the stripes perfectly straight
the stripes are done right as per chrysler factory where are they crooked??
Aussie muscle car in my opinion are better than any American ones.
ok.... lets not go crazy here....
I used to own a VH Pacer done up to RT E38 specs Phase 2 HO were a snack
I have owned chargers but in my opinion id have a dodge challenger anyday
I don’t get why you would put poor quality kenda tyres on a beautiful resto job
Don't touch
Good build. Original wheels would've been better as those mags look dated
Frame off????, a Valiant Charger, really, get your facts straight.
This car is Australian and yes, it exists.
ljr327 yes , I’m Australian, I know Chargers, how do you remove the frame from a charger???????
ljr327 read and understand my comments
@@john-1964 I read your comment. I did not realize you were referring to the unibody. Some people use that term loosely meaning it was taken apart.
Carro feio pra caralho
Not an R/T
Yes it is a R/T. A 2 barrel R/T. Do ya research.
It's an R/T 265 S, All R/T's started life like this then depending on the option you went for IE, Engine option E 38 it was known as an E38, or Engine option E49 along with A84 track pack A95 interior. If you wanted an R/T but put no options on it you got an R/T 265 S not a 6 pack. Look at the rear quarter stickers they do not say six pack.
