Chrysler Australian engine - The Australian straight sixes was built on a basic design intended for use in American trucks. They changed from the slant six to Australian-built 215, 245, and 265 sixes in 1970. The Aussie models had hemispherical heads, so the 3-2barrel Weber version could honestly be called a Hemi Six-Pack.

The cockpit is clean and elegant, with attractive white-faced gauges, chrome accents, a center-mounted analog clock, and slick tortoiseshell trim on the steering wheel, shifter and door handles.
