No Brand 1:18 Charger Valliant E49

Released in June 1972, the E49 was the ultimate Charger. The E49 was the most powerful six-cylinder production car in the world at the time of its release, incorporating a 302 horsepower Hemi 6 engine with a newly developed four-speed Borg Warner gearbox. Chrysler built 149 E49 R/T Chargers making them the most collectible Chrysler R/T (Road and Track) vehicle produced. The six-cylinder Chrysler ‘Hemi’ engine was conceived in the US as a truck engine, before significant improvements were made prior to production in Australia. The E49 ‘six-pack’ engine has triple 45DCOE Weber carburettors, a special camshaft, valve springs and tuned length exhaust extractors. For durability, a special shot-peened crankshaft, conrods, competition pistons and rings, a baffled sump and twin plate heavy-duty clutch, completed the package. With its 265 cubic inch capacity, 10:1 compression ratio and 302 brake horsepower, it was an awesome engine. Chargers accounted for more than 50% of Valiant sales. A new Borg Warner designed four-speed manual gearbox was made available in June 1972 for Chargers. With the arrival of the four-speed, the E48 replaced the E37 as the road going version and the E49 replaced the E38 as the competition model. This new four-speed gearbox was well suited to the high power output of the Hemi. Classic Carlectables are proud to present a special Gold Livery Edition of the E49 Charger ‘Big Tank’ to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of its creation in 1972.
