Hi Steve. These are nice manifolds, I picked up 2 NOS Offy manifolds about 4-5 years ago for $600 ea from a hotrod shop in the U.S via ebay. The carbies I am planning on getting are 600 double pump model #4295 and have the progressive secondary linkage like the ones from the original setup. https ...

I know the current owner of the HDT Monza and it still has the same number plates. The last time I spoke to him the car was going up for sale but I don't think it has sold yet.

Used cars with Kurt Russell was another pretty ordinary movie. If you want to include bike movies there is Sliver Dream Racer (UK) with David Essex and Beau Bridges, Little Fauss and Big Halsey (US) with Robert Redford and Michael Pollard and Side Car Racers (Aus) with Ben Murphy, Peter Graves ...

Garry Rogers first group c Torana made it's first public appearance since the early 80's on the weekend.

Some time back I was chasing information on Norm Beechey's HK Monaro for an article I was writing. Thanks to the assistance of quite a few people I managed to 'almost' put it to bed, the final chapter of where the car is today is unfinished. A very short edited version of my article was recently ...
