The E49 was the most powerful six-cylinder production car in the world at the time of its release, incorporating a 302 horsepower Hemi 6 engine with a newly developed four-speed Borg Warner gearbox.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChrysler built 149 E49 R\/T Chargers making them the most collectible Chrysler R\/T (Road and Track) vehicle produced. Determining whether a vehicle is an original E49 is a relatively simple process. E49 Chargers could only be ordered with Charger R\/T, the A95 ‘interior pack’, the Sure Grip axle and either the A84 or A87 ‘Track Pack’. A ‘4’ on the black fender stripe distinguished the E49 from the E38.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe six cylinder Chrysler ‘Hemi’ engine was conceived in the US as a truck engine, before significant improvements were made prior to production in Australia. The E49 ‘six-pack’ engine has triple 45DCOE Weber carburettors, a special camshaft, valve springs and tuned length exhaust extractors. For durability, a special shot peened crankshaft, conrods, competition pistons and rings, a baffled sump and twin plate heavy duty clutch, completed the package. With its 265 cubic inch capacity, 10:1 compression ratio and 302 brake horsepower, it was an awesome engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChargers accounted for more than 50% of Valiant sales. A new Borg Warner designed four speed manual gearbox was made available in June 1972 for Chargers. With the arrival of the four speed, the E48 replaced the E37 as the road going version and the E49 replaced the E38 as the competition model. This new four speed gearbox was well suited to the high power output of the Hemi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighly detailed premium model\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpening bonnet, doors and boot lid\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRubber tyres\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorking suspension\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePoseable front wheels\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItem includes certificate with individual production number.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Classic Carlectables","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43824416751651,"sku":"CC18874","price":299.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0036\/2115\/8947\/files\/CC18874.jpg?v=1787553009","url":"https:\/\/hobbytechtoys.com.au\/products\/classic-carlectables-1-18-chrysler-e49-charger-vintage-red-18874","provider":"Hobbytech Toys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
