Give me one the same thankyou very much
I have just picked up a 98 s model. Coming from the UK driving little capacity motors due to fuel cost and tax, being able to jump in a 3.8 V6 and actually enjoy it without sweating over the tax or fuel cost (although it still surprises me how thirsty she is) is such a great feeling. I absolutely love it.
Who´s the girl driving?
South Africa? But with no air conditioning!
Very hard to hear what the man says inside the car. Loud noise and a pretty difficult to understand dialect! (But of course I am from Sweden!)
Very nice car!
I owned a ID 19 --63 once! Today I own and drive a DS 23 IE Pallas, manual 5-speed from 1974! Fantastic cars!
Right hand drive!
This is one of all reasons I like Australian Muscle cars over American Muscle cars.🙂👍
Still there ,my son visited last week and picked up some things for his project
i think i watched this like 30 times
Those 4 speed top loading Borg Warner gear box, gear sticks were a night mare. That bloody nylon ball that the stick swiveled on, would crack really easily, a pain the arts. But for that donk it was a close ratio and gave very impressive performance off the make.
They could once Telstars were Imports from Japan made part of Broadmeadows Home of the V8 from late 1987 onwards.We had to make to initially with Mustangs and later Sierras till 1992.The odd part was the medium ford that was raced at Bathurst was not available to regular people at the dealers as everything below Falcons till about just over 2 decades ago in passengers cars came from Mazda in the eighties and most of the nineties.
I saw this car for the first time at Lakeside raceway. The crowds general perception was that it was the best sounding car on the track.
Boy, I miss this era of Australian motorsport!! The Big Bangers luv 'em.
if holden still makes cars id get one
Why do most of you guys, call cars that most people can't afford, "little"? What would it be a "normal" car for you? A Scania sleepover cab truck maybe?
I was 10 years old when my best mate's dad bought a new '89 VN Calais 3.8 in two tone maroon. Think it cost him 40k NZD. I remember how modern it looked compared to most other cars families drove back then, usually early 80's falcons/commodores/jap imports. The grey velour trimmed seats felt luxurious and I also remember the four speed auto being pretty cool when most autos were three speed in those days. Also remember how unreliable the engine was and how raspy (in a bad way) it sounded under acceleration, and the exhaust pipe was painted chrome, the paint flaked off within months of ownership, then fixed under warranty. My mate's dad always regretted not going for the 5.0.
I hesitate to correct a true Oz motorsport great in John Bowe,tho the E49 Charger was released in time for the 1972 Bathurst 500, by which time Ford were racing the Phase 3 GTHO, not the Phase 2 as he stated. Phase 2's raced against the VG Pacer in 1970. 1971 saw the E38 race the Phase 3,then E49 against Phase 3 with the Globe 15" rim, that had been made for the stillborn Phase 4. Stillborn in that it never raced on a track,only in rallying, of all things. Bruce Hodgson in the 1973 Australian Rally Championship. Hope folks don't find me too pernickity, tho I remember the era like it was yesterday.
Interesting video. I was 20 years old when I engineered/designed/drafted this vehicle with the other 5 of us. After the designing of this charger I was transferred to the production line with my supervisor to instruct the production guys how to build. I am now 77 and it still brings back many memories. We went through the testing around Adelaide etc before started racing. Many good memories. Good one guys.
Makes sense. Hemi 6's are becoming hard to maintain. Barra engines have decent aftermarket support and you can boost em to ludicrous power levels. Much better behaving in city traffic if you keep cam duration sane and tuned by someone who isnt an idiot. But it took Ford 3 decades electronic fuel injection, twin cams AND forced air induction to just match the performance of an E 49. An old dinosaur two valve a cylinder 265 ci with a hot cam triple webber carbs and tuned extractors. Progress? Hahahahaha 😂
Drove in an ex highway pursuit 265 charger. Owned by a cop so not detuned like most were for sale to the public. But refined over his decades of ownership. My mate became the second owner. From Adelaide to Port Augusta. A 600+ k round trip. It was one hell of a drive. These were awesome highway cars. Overtaking acceleration was brutal and big time fun. When it was time to put the pedal to the metal. The speedo wound out. But the fun stopped being fun when the front end got floaty & started lifting. Imagine those lucky enough to pilot an E49 would have a permanet grin etched on their face. Brakes & handling needed balls of steel to man handle the monster in the twisty stuff. There is something beautiful about the raw primal performance of cars like this. If I had the coin I would definitely own an E49 or a replica resto mod with motec trumpet efi, custom roller cam, close ratio 5 speed mated to an lsd 3.5 or lower. Decent dampers, properly set up torsion bars. And decent disc brakes that don't $#!t themselves when put to the test. A car like that would keep most smallblocks & barra turbos honest and handle pretty well. May be in the minority but I love a well tuned big 6 better than an 8 on the road.
I love to see these 100% original examples still around. My dad had the exact same one (model, colour and engine), that I learned to drive in. Very fond memories!
Show ma a vt crewman?? VY VZ one tone models in the Ute your welcome
I'm surprised with all his knowledge that he stated the engine is a hemi, it isn't. It's a "semi" hemi at best. Chrysler called it a hemi purely for marketing purposes.
Well John ..Beautiful car well presented..but No GT beater but glad to see them about ..what is amazing now us that u can but a showroom car today that would have won Bathurst without any mods !!!
Its now fetching crazy prices in SA
If the Sierras had the original twin-plane rear wing envisaged by its Designer (but canned by Ford's bean counters), the Sierra would have gone even faster on high downforce tracks.
Very nice car .Always loved the Xt gt's!
That's a nice looking wagon. I was part of the era when you could buy them for $50 running and had quite a few of them. I'd never want to drive one again but I enjoy looking at them.
I think it's time for @glenntorrens and @uniquecarsmagazine to find another holden and revive it like this one and the Bommadore projects
Rare rig now.
Nice job, that looks great!!!
Well done Your effort proves there’s still great humans in this country
That’s a beautiful car.
They made a prototype vg valiant 340 v8 4 speed that was never a production car after already using that shape for 3 models ve vf vg nobody ever talks about this i would love to know more about this prototype,from the valiant book i had this thing was nuts,the vg was a very good handling car in that era.
The Vt was the first Commodore to be safe in a crash. Others before we're a joke
I have a mint condition 1992 EBII V8 Ghia wagon with only 108000km. It's 1 of only 90 ever built
The Chats brought me here.
To be fair if you tell someone to find new doors as a panelbeater you just avoided being a panelbeater good job😂
I still have the original engine on a pallet in storage. Engine now in car was built by myself, I added a kill switch under the shaker!!!! Proof to what I claim!!!!! Painted the block in ford blue engine enamel, present engine carries a crow phase 111 cam.
What a beautiful machine
Exactly the same colour as mine ... a duck egg blue colour called Riviera Blue ... but mine had a Chocolate Brown Vinyl Roof and the chocolate brown interior with the fishnet headrests - Reg Nr was WOI 4040 .... I put a full Janspeed exhaust system on it ... bought it for £4500 and sold it for £6000 ... only car I ever made money on!!! lol
Absolute gold. Love it! Well done guys. If you ever come across my VB, please let me know! Love to know what ever happened to her.
The VN was a heap of shit. The only thing it had going for it is that the EA Falcon was an even bigger heap of shit.
What happened if those cars really fired up!🔥🔥🔥I didn’t see you carrying a fire extinguisher 😱
VN…where I used to work we had a whole fleet of them, very ordinary cars…very ordinary.
A few extra ports on that CIS ;-)
You can fit 5 speed gear box from sirrare just need to move gear box back
Funnily enough, the rear brake locking he mentions is because the brakes were hooked up wrong for over 30 years. They had been connected backwards. I believe shortly after this video was made, it was discovered and the rears stopped locking.
