17. Chrysler Valiant Charger VH
The Chrysler Motor Company also wanted to participate in the Australian muscle car class. So, in 1971, it introduced the Valiant Charger. They based it on the regular Valiant platform but gave it a sporty new two-door body. Also, the Charger got its name from its American cousin, the Dodge Charger. However, to keep up with the mighty Falcon GT, Monaro, and Holden Torana, the Valiant Charger came with several performance engines.
They started from a hot version of a Chrysler six-cylinder engine featuring new cylinder heads and better intake systems. But, in the R/T version, the 4.3-liter six delivered over 240 HP. In fact, the most powerful version was the Charger 770 SE E55. Also, under the hood was the well-known Mopar 340 V8 with 285 HP and a three-speed automatic. They installed this engine in the Dodge Challenger and Plymouth Barracuda in America.
