The E49 Charger whooped the pants down the 1/4 mile 14.4 compared to the HO at 15.3. Local made and developed 265 six cylinder compared to an imported 351 V8.

ALL of the Pacers and R/T Chargers were stock std as per factory.(Most still had number plates when raced)Unlike the XU-1 and HOs that were modified,we couldn’t buy an XU-1 with Webber’s but Pete Brock raced one with Webber’s.

Just some basic facts

Yep been there done that too babe.

Coupes have always been more desirable than sedans ,although I wish I hadn’t sold my XAGT 4 Door 15 years ago for $13,000.And I thought that was good money for one back then when a XY GT was bringing $25,000.

Some of the stuff on ebay is off the show….I saw a pair of spot light for a XA GT for $3,000 a while ago.I guess if people keep paying stupid money for stuff the prices will keep going up.

Ok now I understand………the L34 yes had the most engine modifications to any of the Toranas ,and yes some heavy duty hardware like the Phase 4 ……phase 4 was a lot faster though.I have a book called “THE MUSCLE CAR LEGEND”from 1987 that has all Australias Muscle Cars in it. Its got all the specifications on all the models and how to determine the real deal! Great book but out of print…..

I was reading an artical titled GM’s baby from Australian V8 Action mag,I think it was publish 1974 were Mark Andre (one of the engineers who designed the L34 motor) refers to the L34 as a Phase 4 308. IS this correct?
thx
