VALIANT VF PACER

-

For years the VG was the go-to thing but the round headlights and the “underdog” collector status of the VF always drew my attention. I think Pacers are a handsome thing in their vibrant colour schemes and go-fast stripes. My favourite feature of the VF Pacer is the dash mounted horizontal tach. I would love one in Cosmic Blue, hopefully I strike gold and find that untouched survivor VF Pacer that everyone forgot about.

1960/61 FORD STARLINER

I’m a sucker for big finned Fomoco products and have dreamt of owning a Starliner for years. These coupes have ties to Nascar and came with a variety of engine options including a Hi-PO 352FE backed with a manual 3-speed -speed transmissi­on. These unseen muscle uscle cars would guarantee a crowd at any car show and give you a permanent nt grin.

VL TURBO COMMODORE

I cant go past the VL Turbo as my last pick. Ever since my brother owned wned a manual Berlina turbo I have had ad a soft spot for one and its actually nice ce to see people’s efforts in restoring these ese cars back to factory spec after years s of neglect and modificati­ons. The only issue ssue I see is that their values have soared in recent years and NOS parts have reached insane prices making a future authentic restoratio­n a costly one. Neverthele­ss I still desire to own a genuine g absynth y yellow BT-1. The long range tank, some venetians and dump tip exhaust – VL heaven!
