THE BIG AUSSIE MOPAR SIX! - Wild 1972 E49 Charger Racer ONBOARD.

This Chrysler Australia 1972 E49 Charger's 450HP Naturally Aspirated 265 Hemi Six packs a mean punch on the racetrack, competing in the Group Nc Historic Touring Car category . The Valiant Charger E49 R/T was always seen as the underdog in series production car racing during the early 70's here in Aus, competing against some fierce V8 opposition. The E49's 265 Cubic Inch inline six made 302 Horsepower stock, and ran a very brisk 14.4 Sec quarter mile, even while struggling for traction on a narrow production tyre. At one point this iconic Australian Muscle Car was the fastest accelerating six-cylinder powered production car in the world, and was famous for its trio of 45mm Weber carburettors hanging off the side of the engine, an intake system that was prototyped and developed at Weber in Italy. Although the Hemi designation is not completely correct with the engine only featuring a semi Hemispherical combustion chamber, Chrysler Australia used the mighty Hemi 426 branding as leverage, as it was after all a relative in the Mopar performance family.
