Todays post on Summernats 2011 is all about Holdens. I've arranged the cars in roughly chronological order, the oldest car being an FC. I didn't see any earlier cars, such as FJ's or 48-215's but I'm told there were a few there. Enjoy!
FC Holdens
There is so much work in this FB Panelvan - I think every panel has been modified. Outstanding car.
EJ Holden
EH Holdens
HR Holdens
HG, HK, HT Holdens - Kingswoods and Monaros
HJ Holden
HJ GTS
HQ Monaro - note the airbrushed cigar vents. On the other side the standard metal vents were present. Neat touch
HX Sandman
HQ Monaro
HX Panelvan
HQ Stationwagon
HQ Monaro GTS - look at the rubber on the guards! I suspect this car spent some time on the Burnout Pad (see future post).
barn find HJ Sandman
HQ Kingswood
HX Premier
HQ Statesman
LC Torana
Later model Toranas
Excellent Holden Gemini (Isuzu) - Thats either a triple supercharged V6 engine or a supercharged V6 being fed by two turbos. Sounded impressive.
Holden Gemini - only one turbo...
VC Commodore
VK Group A
VL Calais
A very slippery surface on parts of the EPIC roads saw a few cars lose traction momentarily - such as this VL Commodore
HDT Group Three Director
VL HSV Group A - Walkinshaw
Monaro
I call this late model Statesman the reverse Mullet car. Business up the back ...
...party at the front!
Nice angle for this Statesman
I note this Monaro is street registered. I imagine the drive up the Hume from Victoria was a lot of fun. Sadly, not legal in the ACT as the exhaust exits to the left. Might be some bonnet visibility issues as well. Not a bad lineup of utes in the background either (dedicated ute post coming...)
