This is one of the coolest diecast Mopars I've ever seen! It's a 1/24 scale diecast replica of the famed E38 Chrysler Valiant Charger R/T campaigned by Leo Geoghagen in 1971. Manufactured by Trax Australia, it has exceptional detail, better than I've seen on a lot of much larger 1/18 scale diecast cars. The hood (bonnet), doors, and trunk (boot) all open. The famed "Hemi Six" with triple sidedraft Webers is fully detailed, the front wheels turn by spinning the right-hand-drive steering wheel, and best of all, the door windows go up and down by the window crank on the door panel. This is one cool Mopar diecast. It's going to be one of the lead prizes at our Inland Mopars "Mopars In May At CSDR" charity-benefit car show opportunity drawing (raffle), Sunday, May 19, at California School for the Deaf. We're going to sell separate tickets for it to people who are diecast collectors - this is a collectible, not a toy to scoot around on the floor. We also have the Nov/Dec issue of "Australian Muscle Car" magazine that has a 12-page article on the development and racing history of the full size cars. Both items were donated by our lone Australian club member (also a FABO member) who brought them with him on his first trip to the USA a few months ago when he came over to go to MATS with the club. He took it to a big Mopar show in Australia before he came over and had Leo Geoghagen, the builder and driver of the full-size race car sign the diecast and the packaging. Leo is in his 80s now and was pleased to sign the car since it's for charity. Enjoy the pics...
