Our family car was an original RT 6 pac Charger. Dad bought it straight of the race track.It was designed by Leo and Ian Gagan only two hundred ever made. It had a 36 gallon fuel tank with duel fuel caps also bonnet clips. Ours was an E38 not an E39.When we got it, it had a 3 speed gearbox.Dad did it up again before he passed away in 2010 he had it running on avgass.My best memory was Dad and I out Boggabri Road I was 15 and it was the first time I drove at 100 miles an hour with Dad egging me on. Miss you Dad and loved the Charger.
Thank you for such a dedicated effort to save a one of a kind Aussie. ✌️
Kudos. Thanks for saving such a rare piece of history. It takes balls, and a lot of money to get one of these restored, well done.
Beautiful work Mate
Thank you for saving this super rare car. And give your wife a hug from the mopar family 👍
oh well. credit to him. a rare car has been saved.
Well done, my favourite Aussie car. Had a 72 charger 770. That 265 was a great motor. Should had kept it but we all say that.
Love the Marina door handles.
Absolutely amazing story, beautiful car.
Awesome chargers hi I'm from New Zealand Kiaora looks great 👍
Amazing story
Didn't know Chrysler put auto in the Hemi RT. GREAT CAR
Yes, for people who liked the 'Hey Charger' call but couldn't drive manuals.
@@mickcarson8504 only manuals with the 3 weber RTs

True. Those were the E38 Chargers. The autos were those with a standard 6 and 2 barrel, but didn't have the '265 Hemi' stickers on the sides of the rear panels, only the stripes at the rear and no black band on the sides of front fenders (guards). I can no longer remember if they had the antiglare black paint on the bonnet or a stripe in the middle of the bonnet from the windscreen to the front of the car. Its a long time ago. The 770 always had black vinyl roof and were autos with a medium power 265 and 4 BBL or top of the range model with 318v8.
@@mickcarson8504 E38 and E49 (RT) manual only
Youre a determined guy, its basically same spec as a 770 only with stripes, however obviously it is a genuine R/T oddball so hope it stays worthwhile to you.
Good save, i saw it years ago in a magazine and thought it was a crusher😥
Scott, if youre talking about a magazine that had a purple Charger picture on the front page, I still got that magazine. I have many other magazines related to Chrysler.
Rare!!!
The 318 was the gem imho - great motor
I've been looking for Hillman hunter GLS sedan and found a source in Iran utes by the 199s and Payak hillman sceptre also
New Zealand had the most victories by chargers for 71 to 78 wining ahead of many big money winning manufacturers Ford GM
Beautiful ✅
Thumbs up!
sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would LOVE to know what American Mopar fans think of this car, and Oz valiant/chargers.
I think they are cool looking and I like the Hemi 6
I am lost for words...........
Wow what's it worth now?
can someone tell me the difference between this car and the Charger 770 auto, sold in NZ, sound very similar.
This is an R/T
@@STREETMACHINETV and the difference is? sounds like it has the same specs as the 770, auto, 2 barrel carb, just the extra fender stripe, is what I see, the NZ Charger won the Pukekohe, B&H 500 a few years running, from memory, too lazy to google it.
@@ceedoubleyou R/T Chargers didn't have an auto option. 770 Chargers were luxury, R/T Chargers were performance
@@STREETMACHINETV yep, I can see, that fender with the black stripe, would make that R/T auto, faster than a 770 auto, with a vinyl roof.
@@STREETMACHINETV 100% right mate R/T means road and track, which is a manual gearbox, not automatic transmission with fancy add ons.
Why auto?? Honestly, I don't get it! Lovely example though.
Not an R/T charger no triple webers 265 2bbl nice but standard engine is car with extractors
Not all R/T Chargers were Six-Pack cars. The triples were an option
Most importantly the wife that done nothing😣
Must cost fortune to restore .
It was expensive but we're glad he did it
I speak from experience, it costs a bomb.
Must have had lots of friends helping him.
@@7s29nuclear bomb
shit one of this is at my work in a good condition and no one gives a shit about it :(
its a man thing
Wasn't a very popular car back in the day because of cultural alignments and the perceived lack of performance due to no V8... typical, having said that the 2 bbl. R/T was more of an sales gimmick, 218 hp from memory
Not popular you say? Not long after introduction, Chargers made up for almost half of all Valiant sales and were Wheels magazine car of the year. Perceiving a lack of performance is ironic as it- the E-49 - held title of fastest accelerating Aussie production car for 25 years.

And had a quicker quarter time than phase III
