Hey Charger! :)

The title won't mean much unless you are (a) older than me or (b) an Aussie muscle-car nut. Hey Charger was of course the catchy advertising slogan for the Australian-built and designed Chrysler Charger of the 1970s. The beautiful looking example in these photos - a 1976 VK Charger 770 -  belonged to me.  The Charger was my daily driver for around 8 years, and I loved every minute of owning it.  Well... that's not quite true, I didn't love spending the bucket-loads of cash to restore the car.  But you gotta blow a lot of money restoring an old classic car at least once in your life, right?  And you aren't doing it right if you don't lose a bundle when it comes time to sell the car :)

For those tech-minded readers out there, my Charger had a 4.3 litre '265' straight-six engine, a 4 speed manual gearbox, extractors and a nice sports exhaust.  It went well and sounded amazing!  More about the Charger, including restoration pictures, later...
