Sweet. Good post Greenfoam...
Is this wheels or motor or both or other?

 

[greenfoam]

All different mags and books, even some ancient old photocopies of reviews I got once from the local vintage car club years and years ago (they had a bookstand with old mags on it so asked to copy them )

 

[Pretender]

Don't forget the Nikki, I believe it took just on 50 seconds 0-100 with a top speed of 112kmh or had you planned to post the details on this rocketship later. It was Officially the slowest car ever tested by either Wheels or Modern Motor, can't remember which.

My memory is not as bad as I thought as my recollection is very close for a lot of the figures listed.

 

[defa]

it is good to hear the good old charger is in the top 3 in the list..

 

[fazz1977]

My brother had a VK charger with the 265. It was a beast... Literally. Now he's got a VF Coupe (same model as Paulie's from Fat Pizza but with better paintwork). It sounds like the General Lee. 351 Bored and stroked Hemi. It's a weapon. I'm quite fond of the old Chryslers.

Nothing tops a Holden though!

 

[defa]

351 is ford.. would either be a 318 or 360 or maybe even a 340. although there isn't all that many 340's around. or do you mean a 318 bored and stroked. i love my old vals. me and my old man have a heap of them.. ya can get a bit out of the 360 with the stroker cranks. i forget what they go out to now. but a bloke i bought my charger off had a really old ute and had a stroked 360 in it. it was nuts..

 

[fazz1977]

It started life as a 340, now it's a 351.

Yep, the old vals rock. For sure...

 

[defa]

rightio.. that would be cool...if that is the case ya stroker crank may fit into a 318 as they share the same stroke as a 340. i might have to look into that...
sounds like a tuff car anyway..

Do you kno who made it? It was some sort of joint venture in Poland by Fiat or someone...i've been trying to remember this for a few weeks but its been giving me the shits
