RIGHT HAND drive Hemi GTX

[68X426]

This is cool. A right hand drive Hemi GTX, would probably be the only one ever in the USA. Anybody ever seen any Mopar in the USA with right hand drive?

Some Aussie Chargers are in the USA wasnt there a Superbird or Daytona that came back from Australia (where it was converted to RHD)?

[Ghoste]

Yes, that Daytona belongs to one of the members here, Onebadsuperbird.  I have seen a right hand drive Challenger over here as well.  There are some other Australian Chrysler products over here too that have been left as rhd, not many but a few.

Someone has a silver 67 383 Charger with right hand drive.  I pulled up next to it at a stop light in Rhode Island and wasn't sure at first what was different.  The car pulled away before I got my camera out.  Then it turned up for sale at a big show a couple years ago.  It might belong to a member here now.  I would have liked to have made an offer on it.  Oh well.  Maybe another time.

I got pics of a first gen Charger that is RHD....somewhere....I think it's red if I'm not mistaken....gotta look through my hard-drive on the other computer

[Ghoste]

Now that you say that I realized I have pics of that car too.  I don't know where I got them though, I do not believe I have seen that car in person.

right hand with booster at left ?...

Long rods/links don't you think ?

[A383Wing]

Or a very wide "Z" bar for the brake pedal.....wonder how they did the clutch linkage?

I noticed that too. How do they fit all the pedals and linkage stuff on the right side with the heaterbox over there too? Or do they flip that as well? If they do, how is there room for the linkage to push the brake master cyl,?  I'd like to see one in person to see how it was done.

I've never taken much notice of American car's that are converted, but I think eveything under the hood is changed over but I could be wrong. That 67 Charger was probably one that was here in New Zealand most American cars are left alone as LHD but this one was RHD and a crew member from the America's cup Boat bought it and took it back to the USA I'm sure it must be the same one.

[Ghoste]

Mike, you're in New Zealand?

[charger Downunder]

Her is some pics of whats gone on with my car to make it RHD.

[Ghoste]

So it's no small undertaking?

[charger Downunder]

Steering box and booster still on left side,rear reverse lights moved outwards to be used as blinkes with orange globes.Front wipers were left alone.

yes I thought that too... but I think have been explained with details by charger Downunder. very interesting job to make the conversion!

nice idea about the rear blinkers!!!. I should have done on similar way but keeping back up lamps, but still a very nide idea

[BigBlackDodge]

I need one of those if only to get my right arm as tan as my left!

Its law in Australia that you convert to right hand to tag and drive it.

[mikesbbody]

It use to be the law but not now you can drive LHD there now. I think it might have to be a certain age though if any Aussie members chime in they can answer that one.

[aussiemuscle]

varies state to state: NSW it's 30 yo. which suks, because i have an 88 firebird (cant' reg LHD until 2018). 

So it's no small undertaking?

i remember reading the development of the RHD Valiant by Chysler Australia, they had to massage stuff to work around the Slant Six, which made it hard.
