VF & VE second hand rare & demanding high Prices.

The Camaro is more appropriate in Australia now the Supercars are racing them. Personally, I don't like the Corvette and the Ferrari, Lambo look isn't the style of car that appeals to me at all. Ford did the best job with the Mustang catering for those who previously bought V8 Falcon's and Commodores.

… and 200SX’s. I live near a university, what in 1997 would’ve been the 200SX stereotype is now often seen in a Mustang.

The "rice burner" boys wouldn't touch a V8 back then, and we should admire for Ford for converting them to drive a car with a "proper" engine!

Too bad we never had access to the 5th gen and called it a Monaro.

One of the worst colours Holden ever used. I'm pretty confident Brockie would never have owned a golden mustard Eco powered bus.

Funny thing is, I'm not sure what I'm more surprised at; someone wanting $1.5m for a Eco VX or the fact that someone at some point actually ordered that ugly colour car before it rolled off the line.

In early 1980, I did a night drag meeting open to panel vans that had to run street tyres and entered my Valiant panel van, a 265 Hemi with an E49 camshaft and valve springs, 40 thou off the head, Webers off an E48 and running on Avgas. It was 4 speed manual with a 3.23 diff on the old Bridgestone Steel Belted 60 tyres.

I was second fastest overall with 15.00 second pass and the fastest was an HQ panel van with a 350 Chev did a 14.96. In the final run, I beat the HQ who lit it up off the line by half a front guard and won the event in a 6 cylinder Valiant half a second faster than the average cammed 308!

My father was a Valiant enthusiast and had an E55 340 Charger and he got me an apprenticeship at a Chrysler/Mitsubishi dealer. As a kid, it all started with me playing around with Valiant's my father worked on at home nearly every weekend!
