NOVEMBER 1992 VALIANT CHARGER VH 265

The early 1990s were tough times in the older-car market and finding $3500 for a Blonde – or bland – Olive base-model Charger would have been difficult indeed. In this car’s favour was very original appearance and a swag of extras including sports wheels, air-con and the 265 cube, 4.3-litre engine. If the package also included three-speed transmission then this one may have provided the base for an E38 replica, but even left alone its value during the past decade would have increased significantly.

SINCE THEN: So much car for so little money and we really hope this one has been left intact as a tribute to the‘ average Joe’ Charger. Cars like this have doubled in value and the gains are unlikely to stop there.
