I didnt follow that listing at the time, but was told it went over 60 grand, but reserve not met. Ultimately sold to a collector in Brazil with a big warehouse and an even bigger wallet.

There was a South American A body at the Spring Fling in Van Nuys a couple of years ago. Those extended C pillars and grille do look strange compared to the 67-76 A body cars I've seen for years.
I like seeing different stuff though. I wouldn't choose a Brazilian Charger for mine but I'd like to own one. I like the Brazilian Charger more than the Australian one.

The extended C pillars began on Mexican Darts. Years later was used on Brazil for the Charger made there. If still a Dart maybe you saw a Mexican unit, so is NorthAmerica, not SouthAmerica

The first time I went to Mazatlan almost thirty years ago, I saw quite a few darts withe the extended C pillar and was completely blown away by them.

I'd bet there's still a few down there stashed away

 I am assisting on the first brazilian Charger that is going to the US to a lucky forum member, can't share much right now but I will create a new thread when the time is right, keep tuned for news.

Did they tool up whole different quarter panel skins?  

It looks like that difference might be achievable with patch pieces added on.  And I'm guessing quite a few of those cars got vinyl tops.  

[Armudster]

It's a patch piece. All of them had vynil roofs, but some were special ordered without.

Interesting.  

Did they pull off that front end using the standard North American hood & fenders?  It looks possible.

[Nacho-RT74]

Fenders are maybe 70/71. Can't tell the hood? The one of the pic got GTS hood thought. I can't tell about each model year. Aren't 70/72 Valiants with header panel? So maybe they come from them.

Remember these Brazilian Chargers were made on 70s, so the 70/71 Fenders were already available ( you can see the side markers )

Note: the Mexican Darts with extended C pillars are 70s ones, while these Chargers are 67/69 quarter panels, so I guess yes, the extension must be a filler as mentioned.

[Armudster]

They used the standard US Fenders and Hood. Fenders are 67-69, Hood is a 68-69 GTS with 68 Hood trims. Yes, the Charger Grille fit the standard US Fenders/ hood.
here is what changed on BR Chargers:
- Grille surrounds
- Grille
- Headlight buckets
- Rear C Pillar Patch Panel
- Rear trunk finish panel trim with vynil center
- Taillights
- Side Stripes (different for each year)
- Gauge Panel
- Console top plate for 4 Speed
- Shifter
- Leather Bucket seats (we only had real leather)

A clone can be pulled off, even the Factory, back in the day could install a Charger Grille on your nice New Dart. A lot of those parts can be found today, some are cheap, some are more expensive, but the most difficult part to execute is the C Pillar  patch piece.

Hey Nacho, how are you doing? Hopefully you are safe and good. It's been a while since we last interacted.

Well. I'm at this moment in Spain trying to stablish yet.
