....unless he was from the "Land Down Under". This is a 1971 Chrysler VH Valiant Charger R/T "Six Pack". The Hemi engine is not a 426 V8, but rather an E49 265 cid straight 6 with 3X2bbl carbs producing a respectable 302bhp in this light weight A-Body fastback.The engine was actually the most powerful production 6 cylinder until it was surpassed slightly in 1979 by Porsche. I love the looks of this car. They started appearing in Thailand when I was stationed there and I thought they were cool as hell. I saw one in the shop that serviced the royal automotive collection so I assumed the King's drunken playboy son bought one.
The last picture shows a Road Warrior conversion, suitable for "Humongous".

Very cool model. I always really liked the engine detail on these.
