@LordAkira Lucky you, like I said before, Chrysler Australia made some awesome six cylinder engines, and yes, I liked the 1975 Valiant Charger, a very nice car.
My late father owned several Valiants (the sedan, not the charger), and i have to say, Chrysler six cyliner engines were absolutely bullet proof, not to mention very smooth and powerful. It's a shame Chrysler stopped making cars in Australia.
@bongomanfromdalou i think they should have stuck with dodge rather than Valiant they would have sold more
as a kid we called them wog chariots- most blokes driving them had bryl creamed hair fake gold necklaces and the top 2 buttons on there shirt was undone exposing there chest carpet
@bongomanfromdalou Yep, unfortunately they didnt sell enough and eventually Chrysler sold their Aussie interests to Mitsubishi in the early 80's i think.
I had heard of the "Hey Charger!" campaign in the States for years, but this is the first commercial I've ever seen for the Aussie Valiant Charger (the American car was much larger and called DODGE Charger). The background music sounded familiar when I heard it, and I then realized that the American Chrysler-Plymouth commercials of 1971 and 1972 used the same tune...so Chrysler was brand-engineering on a world-wide scale even 40 years ago! Great fun, mates...
Chargers are the best car ever made! My dad got a vj charger it's awesome, please check out my video :)
