Mopar Muscle Association UK

The big MoPar sold in South Africa.

Chrysler 383

The Valiant Safari

The Rustler bakkie

It may be worth pointing out that, as well as importing Australian Fords for local assembly, South Africa also imported Holdens and rebadged them as Chevrolets.

Here is a rebadged, and regrilled, Holden Monaro called the Chevrolet SS.

What you were effectively getting was an Opel Rekord with a 300hp, 350 Chevy small block in it.

On, if you wanted, you get could get a bakkie version, called the El Camino.

Let's not forget, thatwhile the Perana V8 Capris were dealer conversions, the XR8 Sierra was factory built.

Great thread Sandy, but shouldnt it be titled South African Muscle instead of MoPars?

Yes, but I don't know how to change it ?

Help, mods, please.

I presume the Chrysler 383 is FuryIII based. Is it a locally altered Dodge Phoenix or CKD from the US?

Here are the Perana Capri's.

Converted by Basil Green's company.

I'd heard about the Sierra XR8, but assumed that too was a dealer conversion.

Call me sad, but I like the Rustler Bakkie

Just edit your first post and change the title Sandy.

I think it may be the Phoenix as all the rhd engineering would have been done for them in Australia, Steve.
