The 1971 Chrysler VH Valiant E49 Charger R/T with its 265 cid Hemi 6 with a multi-carb "6 Pack" setup that produced a respectable 302hp and with a 4 speed manual transmission definitely gave it muscle car status. As a 6 cylinder, it had the highest torque rating in the world until Porsche beat it in 1975. This configured Charger was only produced between 1971-1972. The Charger lineup continued until 1978 and later offered 340 and 360 V8s.
I saw a sedan version of this car at the Radnor Hunt Concours last year. The engine is spectacular. The detail on the model captures it perfectly.

Yes, a crazy-wild 6-banger Charger that looks so "Mopar," despite having no American sheet-metal. ...What a great model!
I think I have a Trax model of this car.....around here somewhere.
Great looking model. AA did a fantastic job on these.
