1971 chrysler valiant charger

[michelle]

this is a South African Chrysler that was in production for the 1971-1976 model years it came with only one engine option a 225 slant 6
also these Chrysler valiant chargers are very different from the ones from Australia
I used a new mpc 71 demon kit 
 and modified the taillights and i modified a 75/76 dart sport dash into a right hand drive layout I kitbashed the master cylinder and glued it to the opposite side of the firewall the rims are a extra set from the aoshima 2001 skyline er34 uras kit the tires and shifter are from my parts boxes the slant 6 is from the amt 64 plymouth belvedere kit I painted the body rust-oleum bright coat aluminum and the slant 6 engine block I painted a base coat of rust-oleum 2x gloss apple red and a top coat of eastup high performance wheel paint flash wine red gold I did all the detail painting with dead ultra fine tip sharpies and acrylic craft paint

i have a song cover released in 1971  by the south african pop group called the outlet playing in the background of the video

Very nice SA Charger there Michelle, I didn't even know these existed. I have owned two Australian Chargers, an ex highway patrol 1973 VJ model which had the 265 cu.in. hemi straight six and a 1975 VK model with the 360 cu.in v8. Well done on a cool build.

Cheers,

Another nice build of a lesser known Mopar. I’d heard of South American Dodge Chargers based on the Dart, but not these South African ones you’ve modeled here. Looking forward to seeing your Aussie Charger builds .??

Cheers, Stu.

That is half the fun in doing these types of build learning new things while finding photos of the subject I am making  model of
