here you go cavey, here is a picture of my monaro it was originally a 253 but now has a 308

when i was about 20 yrs of age, a mate of mine built an identical car to your yellow monaro. he had a 253 blue printed and spent ALOT of money on it.
One day, my brother and his mate said lets race. I was in the monaro, my brother and his mate on a Kawasaki Z1000 (same bike in the orig mad max movie that does the mad power stand over the hill with 2 x blokes on it). Well, we had the race, we were sitting on 240 klms an hour and my mate n brother on the Kawasaki crawled past us and disappeared off in the distance doing about 270k's an hour. I will never forget that day til the day and die. I also note, it was the only time i have ever sat in a holden and enjoyed it. My dad was a ford man thru and thru.So, i was a Ford man.
 
But now only like Mercedes now that i have got older and saved a few pennys. I am looking at buying a Benz this next 12 months.The car market has died bigtime and there are alot of bargains around. I have always wanted a Benz. My wife says "sell all the pinballs" and buy her a benz too.
I say "no way hosay". My pinball collection is never going anywhere. Unless i can stick them in the benz. lol !
Had my fair share of 2 door Ford XB n XC coupes/351's. Nothing like the noise of a revving V8. Nothing evers comares to the V8 burble.

Nice monaro thats for sure.
