SNAKE CHARMER

THE Sidchrome Cobra project car has been won! Jarrod Pryor from NSW is the lucky winner of the Coyote 5.0L-powered beast, and boy, are we jealous! You can check out the final episode of the video series on streetmachine.com.au.

BLUE CHIP STOCKS

THE world may be heading into even more uncertain times, but if recent auction results are anything to go by, blue-chip Aussie muscle cars don’t seem to be suffering. Up at the Lloyds Classic Car Auction in late January, a white A9X hatch went for a whacking $260,000 and a factory HQ GTS 350 Monaro sold for $147,000 – thought to be a record for that model. And a couple of weeks later, a red A9X sedan fetched $126,000 at Shannons Summer Sydney auction. Ouch!

NEXT!

THE April issue of SM goes on sale 23 March, and yes Ford fans, there will be a Blue Oval product on the cover if all goes to plan. And don’t despair Mopar freaks, we were bummed that there was no full Chrysler feature car in this issue (though the Barra-powered VE in Urban Warfare is a cracker), but we’ll be back with a beauty for you next time. Shows will include the monster Picnic At Hanging Rock from Victoria and Powercruise from Eastern Creek Raceway. And on the technical side of things we’ll get stuck into our new project car. As always, if you can’t wait that long, hit up streetmachine.com.au for daily doses of high-horsepower goodness!
