The Chrysler Valiant Charger was a muscle car introduced by Chrysler Australia in 1971.

It was a short wheelbase two door coupé which proved to be extraordinarily popular in Australia and similarly so in New Zealand where they were assembled from imported kit components.

The VH Valiant Charger also achieved critical acclaim, winning the 1971 Australian Wheels Car of the Year Award, but they are perhaps best known for their superiority at the annual Bathurst 500 mile touring car event in Australia.

In the 1972 Hardie-Ferodo 500 at Bathurst, a VH Charger R/T E49 driven by Doug Chivas finished the race third outright and in New Zealand, the Charger proved to be virtually unbeatable from 1971 through to 1979 at the famous B&H 500 mile series held at Pukekohe Park Raceway.The car offered here today is known to be one of the exceptionally rare ‘Sportsman' models of which we understand only around 200 were made and as few as 10 are still thought to be up and running.
