Cheers Steve,

I think I actually prefer this over the Mopar........

What's it like in comparison??

Would love to see BOTH at an event this year??

Cheers

That's lovely.
Didn't know they done Monaro's earlier than the one on the right.
I'd have early over modern all day.

yes indeed

you could also get a torrana...an escort sized car with similar lines

or as we in the UK woulkd know it an HC viva with a 3.3 litre 6 or a 5 litre v8

but the modern v6 turbo version came to nothing

even if it was Mangenta in colour

So you're the one with that car! Matt and discussed this car at some length over the years.

All good I hope, was no stranger to being spoken about by the local copper when I was a young bloke but grew up and left all that behind me.

They are both nice, they compliment each other.

Very kind of you to say Steve but hidden in the shed or in a photo from distance hides a lot of imperfections.

Nope....definately a stunning car Steve...theres no escaping the facts!

Do you still have the WB front on it?

thats a strange looking car looks like an elephant has sat on the trunk,

Still the way it is in the 2nd pic.
Front is HJ HX HZ premier or statesman the 4 headlight fronts (all the same panels).
WB were a different set of panels again for the front clip.
Could bore you with more details. There are lots of subtle changes from factory HQ.

Just as well that it is an Aussie car and has a boot instead.
