Seeing more Holden's at car shows.

Post by camrat68 »

I took the 68 out of the garage for the first time this year and ran across a few Holdens at a local car show and thought I'd share.

My, that's YELLOW! And Year 1 rally IIs?

Nice.

If it has wheels and turns fuel of some kind, I'm always interested.

Rev Wheel 107S 17x7 front, 18x9.5 back

It was a Texas car I bought in Killeen in '86 that was Butternut Yellow baked until it was so pale it was mistaken for a white car. Nobody mistakes it for a white car anymore. :lol:

Just a mild (597Hp/575Tq) 502HO with a Hughes TH-400 and a Gear-Vendors overdrive. Moser 3.55 geared 12-Bolt, Chris Alston canted 4-Bar rear suspension with a Ridetech front coil over set-up. I've got a front/rear Wilwood kit and HydroBoost kit to install yet.

It does OK. :lol:
