Some E49 Pictures

The Doug Chivas/Damon Beck E49 Charger that came outright third at Bathurst in 1972.

The only Artic White R/T E49 made, this car lives in New Zealand.

A Hemi Orange R/T E49 my favourite Chrysler colour, this car belongs to Chris.

A rare Sunfire VJ E49 prior to being repainted and the stripes removed only 4 x VJ E49s were built the VJ didn’t come with the R/T stripes, the VJs didn’t have an R/T model.

A rare Sunfire VJ E49 only 4 x VJ E49s were built- With R/T stripes and newer photos, advice from the Mopar community indicated this was an R&D car for Chrysler Australia Limited and was fitted with an engine that produced 320bhp at the rear wheels.

The only VJ XL E49 ever produced.
