1973 CHRYSLER VALIANT CHARGER VJ

A rare opportunity to acquire a 1973 Chrysler VJ Charger 770 E55 340ci, one of just 212 produced, and reportedly 1 of only 4 built in this paint and trim combination. This exceptionally original and unmolested example is now offered for sale from Williamstown, VIC, complete with its original logbooks.

Powered by its matching-numbers 340ci V8 and highly desirable 850 cfm Thermoquad four-barrel carburettor, this Charger represents one of the most sought-after VJ E55 specifications. Unlike many E55 Chargers that were modified for drag racing over the years, this example remains remarkably close to its original factory specification.

The car retains an impressive array of original components, including:

• Correct Thermoquad carburettor with functioning choke
• Original radiator shroud and clutch fan
• Original air cleaner
• Original carpet, hood lining, boot mat and crash pad
• Original radiator and exhaust manifolds
• Correct twin-outlet tailpipe extensions

Highly optioned from new, the Charger features:

• C16 - Automatic console shift
• A74 - Protection Pack
• A97 - Convenience Pack
• H51 - Factory air conditioning with tinted glass
• S77 - Power steering
• T15 - ER70 H14 radial tyres
• W35 - 14x7 alloy wheels

The car received a quality exterior repaint approximately 20 years ago and has been owned by the current custodian for around two decades. Throughout this time, it has been garaged, carefully maintained and preserved.

Recent mechanical work includes new 205/70 Aquatread Redwall tyres, flexible brake lines, master cylinder and suspension components including bushes, tie rods, pitman arm and idler arm. Koni shocks are fitted all-round.

The vehicle has been converted to manual steering while retaining its original power steering pump.This VJ 340 Charger presents as a stunning, original, turn-key example of Australian muscle car history, offering genuine rarity, originality and collector appeal.
