2 more Aussie Chargers have arrived!! Pics ! - 12/31/03 12:24 AM
They're here !!
Hopefully everyone remembers the thread about restoring the orange Charger over in Oz, along with the pics of it and the genuine E-38 six-pack car (Magenta) that were coming over...
Well...I just unloaded them today and got home ! I have a bunch of cool pics, but here is one to start things off while I go through the rest real quick..
Sure is a sight I bet you won't see many times again in America
Three of a kind.

The purple one is a "big tank" car.. they used twin fillers so the race teams could fill the 38 gallon tank faster during pit stops

What a pretty front yard!!!
How much HP are those hemi 6ixes capable of?
And how much RPM can they tolerate?

Still another pic..
Domingo...stock they were rated up to 308 hp. into the 400's is certainly do-able and on from there of course depending on how radical you want to get.
Eric, you will have to ask Ron about that... he might want them to go to his place in Tennesee first

I wonder about traction with a 440 in them, reckon you'd need to keep that Big tank full...or carry your mother-in-law round in the trunk!!

Oz,
Those cars are great!
I still want a Magenta one to park next to my Panther Pink Charger. I can trade you an orange road runner for it. I know it's already taken though.

Re: 2 more Aussie Chargers have arrived!! Pics ! - 12/31/03 03:28 AM
A couple questions...
Are those cars related to A-bodies?
Also, I noticed that the standard dash gauges look just like the ones in '68-70 b-bodies. Would that mean that you could use the round gauge panel in a b-body? Just idle thinking.
Nick.

An A body would be close, but they are thier own car actually... They are a real short wheelbase, yet wide at the same time
As for gauges, they are nothing like a US car when you look at them closely, I'll take some pics tomorrow in the light of the dash to show you.
FYI, the tach and gauge cluster was done by VDO t here (factory of course)

In round numbers

Re: 2 more Aussie Chargers have arrived!! Pics ! - 12/31/03 03:42 AM
Tom, for an "average" one lets say (not a real 6-pack like the Magenta car) around $12,000 - $15,000 lets say.. (landed here at my house)
BTW Tom, thanks for having the greatest site out there; that sure helped make alot of all this happen, and share with such a cool crowd!

Man Oz, you have yerself a VERY nice collection there.. I'd offer a trade but my car has seen snow.. I don't think you'd be interested...
:...
You said that they are short wheelbase and wide. Can you give some measurements. At first I was thinking they were close to an E-body.. Or would they be smaller still? Either way, I like 'em.. Want a BDS blown 440...???????
:
Posted By: OzHemi
Re: 2 more Aussie Chargers have arrived!! Pics ! - 12/31/03 04:23 AM
Blowfish... I sure would like a Blown 440, but where would I put it if you took all the cars ?
Width-wise, the cars are about the same as a B/E body (I can look up the actual #'s just don't know them off the top of my head) and they run on a 105" wheel base.
As for your car seeing snow... the 2 new cars will be seeing snow before too long as well.. and so did the white charger I used to have too.. must be something about them wanting to see snow for the first time in thier lives.. better the cars then me!

Yep, that is the R/T, 770 type cluster for VH's... remember the later model cars had a different style compared to that one.. and the base model cars just had a flat speedo (like the '69ish B body sorta) and no tacho..

Yeah, the two tone interior only came out with the SE 340...some really like the Aluminium Inst panel...others reckon it looks kinda "cold",
mine is the upper one, cept i changed the console plate to match the panel...normally it's black Vinyl...

Re: 2 more Aussie Chargers have arrived!! Pics ! - 12/31/03 06:54 AM

Re: 2 more Aussie Chargers have arrived!! Pics ! - 12/31/03 06:59 AM

Correct... the standard dash is pretty plane... If that orange car is the one I am thinking it was, it was nothing too exciting inside or out really..

so they came with V-8's?
if thats the case, what's with all the excitement of the /6?
is it because it's a hemi?

Re: 2 more Aussie Chargers have arrived!! Pics ! - 12/31/03 04:21 PM
WOW!! Cool cars! Glad to see they arrived in one piece!
Never having seen one in person, there is one thing I'm curious about, how is the build quality on these cars (or any Mopar down under) compared to Mopars built in the U.S.?
Posted By: OzHemi
Re: 2 more Aussie Chargers have arrived!! Pics ! - 12/31/03 05:32 PM
You've done it again Stroked!!
Very nice work
TrooperDave... nothing much at all really interchanges.. ummm, upper ball joints and control arms, torsion bars, and that is about it off hand... the 318 and 340 powered ones interchange those, along with the trans on the v-8 cars and the few v-8 904 equipted hemi cars (Most of the auto hemi cars used a borg warner auto) the trans',brakes,diffs,etc,etc are all different. Oh, and as Ron mentioned, the big deal with the Hemi six cars were that they were the fastest Australian cars built for 20+ years
(the E49 six pack Charger was quicker then the 340 cars, along with all the Holdens and Fords too..)
Nice car Hey340 ! A mate of mine has a VH E55 (The pic Mal posted..) cool things for sure...
Hey Beeper...you wanna stop by with the cut and polish to give me a hand ?
I knew when this other orange car arrived it would make mine look worse
Satilite73, Build quality seems pretty good on all the Aussie cars I have owned/own actually... perhaps since they were all made in far fewer numbers then thier US brothers, a little more checking might have went into them? Of course a car 30 years old from anywhere that has not been kept up will only be so good I guess..

Hey Stroked_Hemi, with your talent the least you could have done is add some leaves to the trees
Our Weather is about the same...If you like snow move north. If you own a snowmobile don't ride on the lakes just cause they
look frozen...the sad thing is, if it gets any warmer I really won't have anything to [censored] about

Those upside down Chargers are wicked. One question, it seems that the engine is offset to the right hand side as our cars are . with the driver sitting on the right also , how did they compensate for all the offset?
Or,since it was hanging up side down all its life , does it matter?

Well Stroked its a picture perfect sunny day without a cloud to be seen and no snow on the ground.....but it's only 28 degrees F.
Hey Oz I have a full can of polishing compound you can borrow.Do you have a comfy lawnchair I can sit in so's I can drink my beer and watch you work?

A burnout mpeg would be really cool!! But they are not my cars, so don't think that would be too appriciated..
Hey Blown... I have the welder...lets just do it to my car! Bring your engine right over
MM, all those offsets add up and its just perfect in the end..

Stick my carbs on one of 'em and do it. Since you have my permission, it'd be that much closer to being fully appreciated.

Re: 2 more Aussie Chargers have arrived!! Pics ! - 12/31/03 11:03 PM
You'll have to get some video of it when you come out
As for the other cars, the Magenta one does sound different then mine actually.. odd sort of mufflers or something, have to try and get some sound of it for ya.. the Orange one just sounds like a mild 318 is supposed to sound
(pretty nice actually I was told by someone following me back home..)

Oh, OK OBSB, my mistake hahaha!!!
You can just hear the sound of a V8 inthe background, but itm fades out...
Those Hemi 6's sound like an angry swarm of wasps or soething, it's really harsh sound....not like the mellow burble of a Chebby 350 at all!!

Dan
Factory with hydraulic valve gear they pull to around a 5500 before power starts dropping off..there are plenty around though that have a redline closer to 6500
Peak powr was claimed to be at 5600 rpm, but a set of solid lifters and a roller cam and the worlds your plaything!

Re: 2 more Aussie Chargers have arrived!! Pics ! - 01/01/04 03:28 AM
I hear a solid cam is the way to go on the Hemi's to get them to wind out... that is the way I plan to go as soon as I get my ported head over..

Tell me about it...
Wish it was a little lighter and I could have gotten Peter to bring it over in his luggage, but since not, it is sitting at his shop waiting till we send another container over.. (along with a HUGE pile of spare Charger parts
)

Mal ain't kidding on pricing there... I have been watching the prices since about '98 when I got mine, and they have only gone in one direction... same as Mope's over here I suppose..
Now a VB brewery over here is a great idea!! Save everyone having to bring it over a six-pack or slab at a time

Yep both of those are mine.
Shane and Oz have some more in the works.

Re: 2 more Aussie Chargers have arrived!! Pics ! - 01/02/04 01:57 AM
Mad Max cars? You mean Falcon coupes ? or actual clone interceptors ? A normal coupe would be similar in price to a Charger...

Hah - the truth comes out! The other end of "The Connection"!! I knew there was only one Aussi Charger, everyone thinks they're buying something different!!
**Man - gotta get a new hobby, it is fun though**
I now know the exact Photoshop number to change the orange to magenta but I couldn't figure out how to do that silver one without it looking really fake.

magenta ??
