5th July, 1976

“WHITE KNIGHT” CHARGER SPECIAL

It has been decided to introduce anew and exciting limited edition Charger Marketing Special. This special will be known as the “White Knight” and will be identifiable by the sales option code of A50.

The public announcement has been planned for mid August. The actual package will be based off the Medium Line XL Charger with the following specifications and variations applied to create this new package.

EXTERIOR

  1. There will be a choice of two exterior paint colours -Arctic White or Amarante Red.
  2. A new and very individual exterior striping effect has been designed and incorporates the “Charger” name in separate block letters located between the wheel arches.
  3. The front grille (except for the mesh which will remain grey), the front turn bezels, and the front and rear bumper bars are to be painted to body colour, with a special non-reflective matt finish applied to the bumper bars. To further identify this vehicle, a front air dam will be fitted. This also will be painted body colour, thus integrating the whole frontal appearance.
  4. The black belt vinyl treatment and the sports fuel filter cap from the 770 Charger will also be fitted to these vehicles.

INTERIOR

The white seats have a red centre stripe feature line with red piping being used on the periphery of the seats. White vinyl will also be used on the headlining, sunvisors and rear shelf, whilst the door trims and floor carpets will be red.

MECHANICAL

The following options will become standard on the “White Knight” specials :

  • W36 – 6.00″ styled road wheels
  • T14 – 186 SR BSW radial tyres
  • D20 – 4 speed manual floor transmissions
  • E33 4.3 litre engine.

The only additional optional equipment available with the “white Knight” will be the C16 automatic floor console transmission which can be ordered in place of the 020 transmission if desired.

There will only be • limited number of these units produced, hence it will be in your own interest to make early enquiries and have one of these units on your showroom floor for the announcement date.

After the release at least one WKS spent the first 6 months of her life running around to dealerships showing everyone what a WKS was. Here it is, lovingly restored by Glenn Elms.
