Not a car you see in the US that often, John Faraone’s 4200lbs 572ci Twin 88mm Turbo powered 1972 Valiant Charger layed down some serious passes on Drag Week, especially the last day when he overcame some tuning issues and broke into the 7’s! We love seeing people come from overseas to enjoy this insane event, especially when they come from the opposite side of the world!

Lol this car lasts as long as I do in the bedroom
Hey charger ✌
love your car and the run 7.5 well done I'm building a charger here in Melbourne Australia
Gorgeous car. Clean and mean
Usually use a trailer to pull your drag car….. straya.
it looks like a small 70 charger.
Break it til it stops breaking, then collect your trophy.
The U-haul's draw bar was 2 inches longer when returned
✌️hey charger
I dunno, seems to me that Aussies (I am one btw) are a bit taciturn on camera at first, only opening up a bit after a while.
If any of our American bretheren are having trouble getting their heads around that Valiant, think of it as a Chrysler A-body, akin to the Duster and Demon, both of which I'm also quite fond of.
My dad had a VJ Charger. Traded it in for a bloody Commodore nearly 30 years ago. Wish he didn't. Probably be worth a fortune now.
There is nothing better than an Aussie Charger in Mercury Silver, the most beautiful car we have ever produced and this is a fine example.
The inline 6 cyl version ran a 265 Hemi with triple Webers out of the showroom back in the day. Went like shit off a shovel and was madder than a cut Snake. Straya, mate.
A 7 second 4200 pound street car. Monster!
Best looking car ever made! V

One tough Aussie charger.

Go The Aussies
Great Australian car
car looked a lot better at 15lbs
madness, damn that punches out of the hole. and hooking up the U-Haul…PRICELESS
Maybe if it was coloured up like the General Lee the yanks might really get confused as it speeds down the wrong side of the road.
Gotta like those Aussie who love horsepower nice video too
