OZ Muscle car show - a History lesson!! - 03/23/03 06:53 AM
Warning some O/T stuff!!
Went to the first amalagamated Oz Muscle car show today, so there was Fud, GM and Mopar
Thought you'd like to see some of the opposition stuff.
Above: The first 1967 Falcon GT, 289 4bbl, referred to as "Mustang bred"
This was the real Bad boy, the Phase 3 GTHO Falcon, a 351 Cleveland that would trip a genuine 150mph.
The last of the four door Falcon GT's, still a 351 but a bit tamer.
Now some of you love our Mad Max falcon, this was a special release called the Cobra, usually motivated by a 302.
Here's the rear
One of the first really tuff GM's, a 350 Monaro, 1969 i believe..
A later 308 4 door Monaro, this model was never raced.
GM decided to race a smaller car, a Torana GTR XU1, with a 202 cui engine with triple strombergs. Quite a fiery little critter, and what it lost on HP it made up for with tire wear and brakes.
The next GM Torana SLR L34 with a honky 308 V8
The final SLR A9X Torana Hatch, a very potent car, basically cleaned house in the mid 70's.
And yes, Mopar was there, this is a 340 6 pack rat , err.....mice? Nice Charger tho!
Hope you enjoyed the show!
