Down Under Chargers with the Hemi 6 Pack?

[RTPTRON]

Until today I had never seen one of these cars.  They are damn cool looking.  This one did not have the HEMI 6 PACK engine in it but it had come with one.  Does anyone have the performance specs on this car?
All I know is that I want one of those.

Aussie Chargers don't do it for me. I'd rather have a Brazilian charger

Americans may quickly say that no such thing as the Hemi Six Pack existed - and, in the US, it did not. There were several Hemis and there were Six-Packs, but no Hemi Six-Packs. To be fair, like the current 5.7 Hemi, the name was more marketing than a description of the head design.

The Australian Hemi did not need eight cylinders to get muscle-car acceleration. With its six hemispherical-head cylinders fed by triple Weber carbs, it easily outdistanced even Chrysler's own 340 and 360 V-8s. Powered by this straight six, the Valiant Charger was until very recently the fast accelerating production car made in Australia -- and it came out in 1972.

Why did Chrysler not realize what they had? Why did they even let their Australia division disappear? Why did they let some of their top talent go to Mitsubishi? Their failure speaks volumes about their ability to see the obvious. (Note: with DaimlerChrysler's decision to end Mitsubishi Australia, the past repeats itself.)

Gotta love those wheels and tires on it huh?  I picked up a copy of an Aussie magazine once called "Slick 6 Packs" or something like that.  It was basically an Australian Mopar magazine and they are just as rabid about those Chargers as we are about ours.
