Keen to own a piece of South Africa's automotive history? Then this one-off version of the VH-generation Valiant Charger, developed by Keith Anderson of the Chrysler dealership, Anderson Brooker Motor Enterprise in South Africa, is for you. It was intended as a pre-production prototype, leading up to a limited-production run of locally made V8 Chargers. Sadly, the production run never materialised, although magazine reviews were overflowing with praise for the car at the time.
Anderson's initial modifications included swapping out the original engine for a beefier 383 cubic inch V8, pairing it with a TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic transmission, and then going on to widen the wheels and drop the suspension. Technicar magazine gave the car a thumbs-up in January 1973. But Anderson wasn't done. He upped the game by boring the engine out to 390 cubic inches and adding some performance tweaks, which shaved the quarter-mile time down from 15.3 to 14 seconds.
