In November 2013 I Entered The Car In The Noosa Car Clubs Noosa Beach Classic
Car Show And The Car Won Best Australian Coupe. The Car Is, I Believe, A
Prototype Car And 1 Of A Batch Of 131 Similar Cars Built In 1968 Before
Production Went Full Time. The Body Is Gts 327 But Has A 80837 Tag. It Has The
Saginaw Floor Hump. Colour Is Devil Yellow By Glasurit And It Has Been Sliced
And 2 Coats Of Self Healing Clear Has Been Applied To The Final Finish. Self
Healing Clear Is What It Is. The Engine Bay And Complete Underbody Is Also
Painted In Yellow With Some Black And Red Items Underneath. The Twin Headlight
Front Was Not A Cut And Shut To Fit But A Complete Brand New Premier Front
Chassis Rails, Skirts And Radiator Panel Assy. The Engine Bay Has Had Over 200
Hours Spent Removing All Holes And Factory Indentations And The Firewall Has
Been Shaved As Well. All Engine Bay Wiring And Fuel Lines, Hoses, Coil, Battery,
Windscreen Washer Bottle Etc Have Been Hidden Or Removed To Different Hidden
Locations. Engine Is Also Painted Yellow. The Heavy Duty Radiator Has A
Aluminium Shroud Cover As Does The Fan Belt. It Has No Fan Blade But 2 Thermo
Fans Hidden Out The Front. The Engine Is A 1992 Chevrolet Chevelle 305 Ci And Is
Fuel Injected. The Engine Is Extremely Strong. It Runs A Turbo 400 5 Speed Auto
That Has Been Completely Rebuilt And Capable Of 800 Hp. The Diff Is A Salisbury

Model Holden Wheels. The Front Stub Axles, Rotors And Calipers Are All From Hq.
The Interior Has Been Completely Retrimmed In Charcoal And Yellow. It Has A Felt
Fabric Charcoal Hood Lining And The Trim Colour Blends In With The Seat Down To
The Carpets. All Trim Material Is Aircraft Quality 4 Hour Burn The Dash Has Been
Changed To A Hg Style Dash Assy, Much Nicer Than The Hk Dash Assy And Is Fitted
With A Cd/fm Stero Player With 6 Speakers. The Heater Is Under Slung Under The
Dash And Is An Old Smiths Air Conditioner Assy With The Tx Valve Removed To
Allow Free Flow Of The Hot Water, Work Too Well.
