English guy building an Aussie car for an Italian and shown in America. Beautiful.

[@MafiaboysWorld]

The only thing missing is the "Charger" badge in the grille so people can stop asking him what F'n car it is. 😂🤣

[@spiritlevelstudios]

One of the greatest Charger builds ever. Being in the shed for 15 years, makes me feel better about my project. 10 years so far.

[@petergiourelas3753]

Best Aussie coupe

[@fattypuds7395]

Hey Charger

[@falconpowerful2362]

✌️

[@rossbrumby1957]

Really like the flush bumpers- kept their shape but flush fitting- much like the new vs old Barracuda bumpers.

[@zenovich1]

So cool. Me (had a charger. Two actually) and my mate (owns a 355) just sitting here looking at the intertwining of it all. Not amazing. Fkn amazing . Sooo many details. Best custom charger in Oz. Well done

[@falconpowerful2362]

Turns heads and gets tongues wagging - mission accomplished.

[@Brock_Landers]

Honestly I clicked on this video because I had the intention of laughing at how an old domestic car could be "Ferrari inspired," but I am legitimately impressed by how good this car looks inside and out. The only thing that would make this car that much better would be a Ferrari V12 with individual throttle bodies or velocity stacks (trumpets) for every cylinder. Edit: having watched the rest of the video and having heard what the engine actually is, this thing is SICK! That engine is so mean! Well done chaps!

[@rossbrumby1957]

When the R/T 6 packs were new, the press were saying how Italian inspired it was simply because Chrysler took a Valiant to Italy to get the Webbers tuned properly to the Hemi.

[@shadowjohn2266]

stunning car but sadly not much charger left in that car

[@jkmsaturn]

This is the kind of exposure the world’s best-proportioned muscle car deserves. Hey, this Charger has one thing that all the other VCs don’t . . . air vents in the dash panel.

[@raviscott4853]

VC? I think you mean VH, and I'm only assuming that by way of the rectangular headlights. But it certainly is NOT a VC.

[@jimclarke1108]

Just add a Ferrari V12 engine to the E49 webers

[@Brock_Landers]

YES!!! I said that was the only thing missing besides a body by Bertone...

[@allantaylor3288]

Appreciate the work that’s gone into this build and interior is sweet but the original chargers line look way better...sorry!!!

[@HarryCoyle]

Street machine I have so much magazines from my uncle and there so cool I love them

[@kushkiller7108]

Sweet car. Here is another yank that likes it.

[@7s29]

Kudos for building a really nice car. I'm sure it would be a dream to drive. It's great to see the old chug up on stage.

[@michellee8369]

Nice all of . Sly cage hiding . well done

[@546dukedodgysgarage2]

I know, his car his way, but that headlight and grille are a step back, other than that good job fella.

[@spiritlevelstudios]

I like the front end. Looks clean.

[@RT038]

Dream machine right there !!

[@vtwin_vandals]

Farkin Aussie Ferrari !!!

[@jellyfish942]

If you ask me, someone should build a valiant charger inspired Ferrari

[@hoey3510]

each to their own.. but good luck if you try and sell it one day.. stock factory looks the best..factory got it right in 1971

[@raviscott4853]

Indeed. All Aussie designed body, thinking out of the box and shunning the available 340 v8 option by utilizing what was a U.S. Dodge truck engine as a powerplant, 4 months from drawing board to prototype and a win on debut at Oran Park. That is how you build a legend. Re: automotive engineering we can (and did) do some GREAT shit here, but Mitsubishi, Ford & Holden just followed the parent company's doctrine without question. Now, no more Ford Aust., no more Holden, M.M.A.L a distant memory and here we are, a land of wankers driving "pickup trucks" like them 'mericans or puttering around in Korean shitboxes. We are fucked.

[@russthompson80]

What a beauty! Great work.

[@bradleamon4466]

He fucked it

[@walshwheels]

I really like it.

[@eazy79dezz39]

That’s a beast

[@sterlingwilkey2124]

That's a bad ass car

[@hqlion]

I saw it at the Sydney show -stunning car.

[@rockbiterhd]

frying the chips

[@roneather7529]

very nice !!

[@caneanukunuku8269]

I wonder what gas monkey and overhaulin think of this. Valiants rule! And so does New Zealand 😉

[@silajeep1]

Annoying music in background too intrusive ruined this video and also not enuff shots of the car

[@jethrox827]

Bravo

[@robertsalerno6033]

Nice very Nice

[@mwhitelaw8569]

Show car that's not a trailer queen!?!?

[@helixworld]

How about a flat-plane crankshaft for proper euro V8 sound.

[@bofadeez0635]

Hide the headlights

[@Djr67]

That music in the background is so fucking annoying

[@ajv802]

Does not work at all.

[@SmoothCanoes]

Always ugly steering wheels..

[@danielbeotich1664]

Could have bought a Ferrari and restored the charger for how this probably cost....front spoiler is awful.....save the chargers

[@girlsblouse7866]

DYOR on Chargers racing in the Improved Production ''Catogories'' back in the day. They ALL were fairly similar in the front end appearance, possibly more ''aggresive'', A homage, perhaps? I reckon it 's cool. The car probably started it's life as a 215 ci ''Poverty Pack'', so it certainly needed ''saving'', like mine did. The things an effing weapon in disguise. Magnificent in every way.

[@wooloongabba]

Just not doing it for me

[@maxneagle2154]

Aussie muscle cars are way better built than american cars.

[@raviscott4853]

Sacrilege 😠

[@NDMHUNTER1]

If people have to ask what it is ,youve ruined it

[@k1Stung]

ya dont get it. its at sema...thats in the states. Yankees dont know any aussie cars maybe 0.0001% might

[@nordic5490]

Missed the mark for me. The heart of a Ferrari is the 4V DOHC Flatplane engine that has that Ferrari note and rpm, insted, this car has a 2V pushrod 90deg v8... ahhhhg. Should have put a Voodoo engine in this to be close to the Ferrari sound. The bling doesnt interest me.

[@theauthenticsteve]

Well it's not a Ferrari, it's a Valiant. But I would have stuck with the Hemi 6 and got Cameron Tilley to build it to go over 8000 rpm. Just have a listen to his Valiant back when it was a 6, one of the top ten car sounds ever IMO.
