I think you would struggle to go past Rod Hadfield's Attack. a 27 litre Merlin V12 supercharged into (well more of the car around the motor) a 1955 Chev. https://www.whichcar.com.au/features/massive-attack-1955-chevrolet-sports-coupe ... View more

Without wanting to inflame the necessity for a pick-up debate (I own a 52 y.o. ute for disclosure) what I miss is the full sized sedan. The choice now seems to be between a high riding 4 door pick-up or a high riding SUV. Currently I am running the equivalent of the Chev SS sedan (but with the V6) and I'm looking at a newer version of the same car. It seems that we have corralled ourselves into a choice between pick-up, SUV, or small/medium hatchback and chosen to fight based on the limited choice.   ... View more

The Z4 has overtones of the Pinnifarina Alfa GTV Spider for mine. IMO the issue isn't the continuation of the A pillar line, but from the base of that line the door aperture doesn't match anything else. Down, across and curving upwards. It doesn't follow anything else on the car. If you cover that line with a piece of paper you can see how the car is improved by not seeing that line and the associated curves. The A pillar line is distinctive, perhaps even evocative of a propeller? At a pinch it could be a propeller aircraft banking...okay maybe that is a stretch. I think that Bangle could have got away with the propeller line but not with that unresolved lower part of the car.   I had a 69 Charger in a very similar colour to that Vette. The tailstripes made that a different looking car as well. ... View more

Slightly off topic, but my sporting club had a disasterous fire. The most difficult part was reconstructing the records as the honour boards were lost that were up to 130 years old. A few photos stored separately to the building would have saved a lot of time chasing old newspapers etc. It may be worth a digital copy of the historical records of your vehicles. ... View more

What about the shovelnose T40 Toyota Corona ute? It sat under the Stout in the Toyota line-up (another one for the list?). ... View more

Holden ceased making RWD and indeed any cars in 2017. They did import some largely unloved vehicles from any number of places, but the Opel built sedan was only a stopgap given GM sold Opel at the same time.. $160,000AUD or about $114,000USD today. An R spec Mustang, built factory RHD with the supercharged 5.0 is $99,000 so you must really want to have a bowtie to shell out sixty thousand extra. How did they land with that name? GM is a bit on the nose what with the killing of Holden, so why not Chevrolet Performance Vehicles, or simply Chevrolet Muscle. Unless there is another performance car that they may import and no Cadillac won't be on the list. ... View more
