Issue 2 - 1972 Chrysler VH Valiant Charger R/T E49. As part of a premier series of 1:43 scale diecast replicas, this issue celebrates the legendary vehicles that defined Australian roads and racing history. Often cited as the ultimate Australian muscle car, it featured the legendary 265 cubic-inch Hemi-6 engine with triple side-draft Weber carburettors. It held the record for the world's fastest accelerating six-cylinder production car for decades.
Built at the Tonsley Park plant in South Australia, the E49 prioritised high-tech six-cylinder power. This model represents a unique Australian approach to performance that remains a crown jewel for collectors.
