My 1978 Aussie Charger

[Raymond]

Vehicle is in original unrestored condition. It is one of the last batch of Chargers built here in Australia.
Engine is Chrysler's electronic lean burn 5.2 litre (318 CID) V8.
Transmission is a 4 speed manual.
Please ignore the Indiana plate. I had to hand in the original plates when I canceled the registration. It looked a bit bare without a plate, so I looked around the garage and found the Indiana plate hanging there and thought that'll do it.

Ray, superb Charger mate, unbelievable condition! Toowoomba has some of the best conditions for keeping cars in Oz I reckon :)
HEY CHARGER! :D
Do you have any idea how annoyed at myself I am when I passed up multiple chance to own genuine E49's for 10k several years back?? lol

That's great, now just take some advice from the knowledgeable people on here and you will do fine with that too.

Sweet Ride Raymond! :thumbsup:

Thanks Rob. Agree with your avatar too.

Thanks Ryan. I need some tips from you on how to take good interior pics.

Ben answered that in his post. It is a 1970 XW Ford Falcon GT. I will post some pics of it in the future.

Nice ride Raymond - great condition!!

Thanks Matt.

That wasn't hard for you, hey Ben. I know how you feel about the E49s, but at the time it is hard to know which way the market will go.

I had to ask cuz we don't get the same muscle cars over here.:)

[Marlin]

Yeah we had some fantastic Aussie muscle cars through the 60's and 70's. Most ran various versions of the traditional chev/ford muscle engines, but with unique bodies to suit our Aussie tastes.

The Ford Falcon GT was really the first 4-door "Supercar" anywhere in the world. The best examples have fetched close to one million dollars, so it's probably in all out best interests to be very very nice to Raymond. lol :D

[Marlin]

How pretty is the Holden Hk Monaro? (predecessor the the modern day Monaro or Pontiac GTO as you guys know it)

[Dylans3960ccs]

every thing like a muscle car we get in america looks much better over there.

WOWOW Ray! Those are some amazing pix!! Looks perfect!! Have you owned it since new??

[Dylans3960ccs]

Holy crap dreamer I didn't know you were in Jacksonville my grand parents are there!

[Raymond]

Thanks Hannes. As far as I know I am the 3rd owner. I bought it from a friend of mine in 1995. He owned it for a lot of years and for most of them it was stored in his garage. I parked it for a while and them decided to register it for road use in December of 1996. We used it as a second car, enjoying many trips including a couple of long ones to Sydney and Melbourne, until December 2001. I canceled the registration at that time as it was becoming too expensive to have two V8s road registered, $712.05 for each car in 2001. It has been stored in my garage since then. I really miss driving it.

[dreamer1213]

Thats cool Ray...

Thats is lot of money you have to pay to be able to drive it on the road....perhaps save up and re-register it for a year or so...?

Yup....thats where I'm at Dylan...

[Dylans3960ccs]

you must be burning up down there right now!
