Put in the asking price and the odometer reading. You will see what this model should make at that reading.
Odometer only. Colour, options, history, condition and the photographs move it further, and that is what the report reads.

What moves the price on this model
Condition, history, originality, ownership, delivery and modification multipliers apply to every car in the library. They are applied automatically when an advertisement is analysed, and the schedule is set out once, on the analyser page.
Projected value in five years
The case for and against
149 built, fewer than the GT-HO Phase III, and period road tests had it accelerating harder than one. 117 verified sales give the model real price discovery, and it still trades below the Ford and Holden equivalents.
Chrysler never had the Bathurst wins that drive Falcon and Torana money, and the market has never fully closed that gap. Values are well down from the 2021 peak, and tribute R/Ts are widespread.
Known faults and risks
Similar cars, and what they cost to run
Until now this entry held two AMCS aggregate figures - $395,000 at the top of 117 sales and $35,000 at the bottom, the latter being ordinary six-cylinder Chargers rather than E49s - and no completed sale of its own. On 16 April 2025 a genuine E49, one of the 149 built with the Competition engine, made $210,000 at Kirrawee. Third owner of three, forty-six years in that ownership, Hemi Orange with the A87 Track Pack, A95 dress-up package and D56 Sure Grip axle documented.

It was last registered in 1987 and has been stored since. The engine was reconditioned and reinstalled in 2022, but it needs tyres and an alignment, there is minor rust in a right rear panel, the driver's seat trim is cracked and the carpet is holed. That is a car needing recommissioning and a buyer priced it accordingly.
This record expects 85,000 kilometres and penalises 6.5 per cent per 10,000. A car at 31,886 kilometres sits 53,000 under that, which the term would credit with 34.5 per cent before the twelve per cent cap intervenes - so the model predicted $336,000 against an actual $210,000. On a fifty-three-year-old homologation car the odometer is not the variable; registration status, rust and originality are.
Above the one result because that car needs work and cannot be driven home, below the old figure because $300,000 rested on an aggregate range endpoint rather than a sale. A registered, sorted, matching-numbers E49 should sit above this and the $395,000 AMCS top of 117 sales says how far above - but that figure is an aggregate endpoint and is excluded from the fitted value. SOURCING: one auction lot page read in full, against two aggregate figures that are not transactions. This is a thin record and it should be read as one.
This record already said the odometer is not the variable on this car. It then carried 6.5 per cent per 10,000 kilometres, the steepest figure in the library, on one counted odometer. Under a straight line with a twelve per cent cap that contradiction was invisible, because the cap swallowed everything past two per cent either way. The model now runs a curve and a steep coefficient extrapolates instead of stopping, so 6.5 would have credited a 31,886-kilometre car with seventy-two per cent. The five segment elasticities fitted across 455 Australian sales run -0.123 to -0.208; 6.5 at this expected distance is -0.552. One sale cannot measure a slope, so the figure is now the classic muscle segment's own, and what prices this car is still registration, rust and originality.

The evidence on this model is thin and the report says so on its cover. Read a complete one on a real car first. Seventeen sections, no account, nothing to pay.
One line of email when this desk publishes a call on a Chrysler Valiant Charger R/T E49, or records a new Australian sale of one. Nothing else, no schedule, and on a quiet model you may hear nothing for months, which is itself worth knowing about a car you are chasing.
