There were others of course but I stumbled across these two this morning cleaning out some files.  (there is a great one of the engine with the exhaust glowing red hot)

I've got a huge framed print of the Glowing Headers one on my wall in my home office.
If you look closely you will se the butterflies are shut, the story is the photographer was too scared to go into the dyno room while it was screaming so he made them shut it down for the shot after 130 hours running.
Man, it would've been howling

Always liked that one.  I don't have any hard copies of Valiant Charger advertising or dealer brochures in my collection so I'll have to get to that one day.

Bought this badge and one of the quarter panel decals in the eighties.
Was fun stumping the mopar guys as not many knew what it is from?

A few years back I had an Aussie Charger R/T with the 6pk and 4 speed and was working on a job at a power station about an hour south, so I used to drive it to work on a Saturday if it was fine sometimes.
There were a few American & Australian consultant engineers on the job, the Texan saw the Hemi 6pk decals on the rear quarters and drawled "That thing got a Hemi in it??" " Umm yeah, an Aussie one at though, but its two cylinders short"  :smilielol:
He never seen or even heard of one, so shortly after there was a team of them climbing all over it. Classic  :lol:

Finally took a picture of the poster, its big, 12 x 10

I got it scanned off an original photographers print from a mate about 10 years ago, Ghoste - I'll have a look and see if I can find another file copy if you're interested at all
