Chryslers on the Murray 2026
Chryslers on the Murray is the biggest dedicated Mopar gathering in the southern hemisphere, with 1,500+ Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth and AMC vehicles every June long weekend at Albury Showgrounds on the NSW/VIC border. Held since the early 1990s, it's the focal point of Australia's passionate Mopar culture, especially for E-Body, B-Body and big-block enthusiasts.

Exhibitor tips
Australian Mopar judging is strict on originality and period-correct mods. The High-Performance Mopar Owners Group (HPMOG) provides volunteer judges. The Australian Hemi-6 class is uniquely competitive — local Valiant Chargers with the 265ci Hemi6 are a category in themselves. Bring complete documentation: build sheets, original sales receipts, factory option codes.
