these things didn,t handle because they were 120kph faster than your average 71 corolla running on cross ply tyres. you don,t see to many ke 20,s in historic racing. in fact is there a corolla ever built that can compare to a 37 year old falcon 13.7 1/4 mile FACTORY. top speed 250kph. fact is you have to spend $50000 plus to get a falcon or c/dore to beat one. so my thoughts are disaster

I digress a little,but what about all the other aussie muscle cars that have met a similar fate.my favourite would have to be an E49 RT 6 pack charger,ooohhhh too think how many originals of those are no longer with us.

not to mention monaros toranas valiant pacers etc.

most of which 25 years ago were worth next too nothing and as was mentioned (supply and demand unfortunately blew the affordability out of the water).

long live the old aussie muscle car heritage..

 

I second that notion :dance:

Too true, yeah i have a soft spot for rollas, but the aussie muscle car

also is an important part of our automobile history.

 

Long live the; GTR XU-1, A9X, L34, SLR5000, GTS, GTHO etc, etc :)
