I currently a 55 Hudson Hornet Custom Sedan with 308 3spd & overdrive. It goes great guns and had it up to 100mph down hill with more to go. Being an Aussie assembled RHD, it has no options what so ever. Ive purchased a radio from the USA and that is it. What I wouldn't mind is a continental kit to fit it. Are they rare or not in the US and how much are they worth. My other car is a 66 Rambler Classic 770 Wagon with 287 V8 and auto, again it is a Aussie assembled car.



My Every day driver is a 1992 Holden VP Commodore Executive sedan. It is an Ex undercover cop (police) car. It is powered by a Holden built 308 V8 EFI engine which is rated at 180KW in power with the GM built T700 4spd Automatic. This car is a rear wheel drive car using an the optional IRS (independent rear suspension) rear setup with limited slip diff. It goes hard.

NOTE: Holden has been around since the early 20's, been with GM since the early 30's. They built bodies for all sorts of companies including the following: Hudson, Essex, Chev, Ford, Vauxhall, Buick, Pontiac and the list goes on. It was't till 1948 that Holden Built it's first car. Holden used a GM 6cyl for these cars and by early 60's came up with ist own design. 1967 saw the very first 2 door coupe by Holden called the Monaro. It came with the 6cyl as well the first V8 engine in a Holden which was the Chevvy 327 V8. By 1969 Holden Built it's first V8 of 253cu and soon after the 308 V8. Other Chev V8's were also available in 1970 including the 307 & 350 but by 74 the Chevvy engines was dropped until 1999 when the Chevvy Gen 3 Alloy V8 became available. The was the end of the only Aussie built V8. The Current Monaro is the basis of the controversal 2004-2006 Pontiac GTO.
