Avenger 1:43 models are available....under 10cm long so pretty small.
Anyone seen bigger ones around?
Stop Press...I have some 1:43 Avenger Tiger Wardance Red here now...see page 2 of the thread.
I haven't seen any. I have a awesome 1:18 scale model of a Valiant Charger. It was made by classic carlectables which is an Aussie company so because the Avenger was never sold in Aussie there is no chance they would make one. It is so detailed though. even down to the air cleaner elements and throttle return springs.
The only Avenger model I have is a 1:43 scale Avenger tiger made by Vanguards.
Here is a picture I took.

the guy from the car show that had the models said he could maybe order one in. next time im in napier ill ask him
Have found lots of 1:43 ones on eBay UK, cost from $40 including air post to NZ.
thers a chrome one on trademe

That chrome one has been on trademe for ages. Too expensive in my opinion. I brought my Avenger Tiger die cast for around $50.
way too expensive. imagine what u could buy for your real car with a hundy lol let alone buying a tiny car that doesnt go. but the fact that its chrome is pretty sweet
Cheaper than some. I brought a 1:18 scale Chrysler Valiant Charger for $300.
It is a classic carlectables limited edition and it is super detailed. you can see stuff like throttle return springs and the air cleaner elements inside the air cleaners, It has seatbelts and working steering and driveshaft etc.
Here are some photos of the engine so you can see how detailed they are (these aren't from mine, mine is orange)

hahah those are pretty sweet
hahaha reading from the bottom up took me a bit to count the cyliders and click HEY thats not a Venger!
wow
Haha, I only wish I had an Avenger with triple webers!! I would love to put triples on the 265hemi in my Charger.
I have always wanted to see if you could get a 265hemi in to an Avenger.
In Aussie they put a 245hemi in a Chrysler/Simca 180 and called it a Chrysler Centura.

Doubt if you'd fit a straight six in, a Capri 2.8 V6 would probably fit okay.
Lots of them cheap in the UK...fit the motor and box in an Avenger and what a go machine!!!
There used to be a 265hemi powered triple weber Avenger in the OSCA race series but the engine went well back behind the firewall. I have been trying to find out more about it for years.
out of a Charger :P have seen it a few times at Manfiled
dubbed the Cha-venger
Thanks for that info. I was able to track done some info on the chavenger
