AUSSIE IDOLS

We’re honouring the sixes in this issue, and if you want more, those good old chaps at New Zealand Classic Car magazine have just the thing for you — not one, but two full-length feature articles on two stunning pieces of Aussie motoring history. Brian Wong bought his genuine ’73 Holden LJ Torana GTR XU-1 back in 1975, daily-driving it for many years, and he still owns it to this day. To read the amazing story on this survivor, search ‘Brian Wong Torana’ on themotorhood.com. And if the Pentastar is more your brand of choice, we’ve got one hell of a ’72 Valiant VH Pacer for you to read up on! Having owned a Pacer as a young fella, he wanted another, although the one he ended up with was less than good … cue a full-on restoration, creating what must be one of the country’s best Pacers. Search ‘Ross Jenkins Pacer’ for the full thing.
