Default Australian rhd Chrysler charger

For a rhd Oldschool muscle car that's natively rhd I think one of these has to be just about the best there is available, finding one is the tricky but though

The Charger RT was the one to have , big straight 6 engine with 3x twin choke webers. Not many good ones around in Oz anymore and they now fetch top money.
My Brother-in -Law in Adelaide still has his Charger from the 70s! The Ford Falcon 351 GT , Holden Monaro V8 and the Charger RT were the top 3 Australian muscle cars of that time.

Back in the 70s, Ford and Holden both went for V8 power but Chrysler had a lot of success with the big straight 6 in the Charger RT. There were v8 options for the Charger but not as a high performance model more of a luxury model.
My Brother-in Laws Charger is a straight 6.

I did spot that I've been in contact with him but it does need some work doing to it and is abit overpriced due to the repairs needed, it's a potential though if a deal can be done

The thing is with it its already got a stonking big V8 and lots of other mods. As I said most Chrysler Chargers came with a straight six only. When I say "only" the straight 6 in the RT was 265ci with 3x58dcoe webers and at the time was the most powerful 6 cylinder engine in Australia!

They are mega rare, I missed a blue one but it was off the road needing work and had the crappy 318 in it, there was a fireball one on eBay but it was crazy money and again had the 318 in it they are hateful engines imo
