1971 Chrysler Valiant Charger RT – The Other Charger RT

Jim Richardson

I was down in New Zealand recently with my good friend, photographer Dave Gooley on a working vacation, searching out unique cars. We struck pay dirt at the annual Ellerslie Concours in Auckland, which is New Zealand’s equivalent to Pebble Beach, and features classic cars from all over the world.

I discovered that the little island nation of New Zealand is a prosperous jewel of a country containing a lot of car buffs. A fellow named Mike Goodhue from the city of Hamilton had his immaculate Australian Charger RT on display there and agreed to let us take it for a spin and photograph it later in the week.
