Basketcasebear got me thinking. what if the aussie gov never supported Aussie made cars. what would the average car nut be going on about. pre 1985? that are with in reach of the average aussie. datsun 240K? skyline coupe? rambler hornet,rebel? if you go back earler triumph 2500? back in 1963 wolseley or freeway?
what do you think would of been the go.
6 cyl utes? toyota crown only?
All i can say it thank God we have aussie cars. it looks like it would be unbearable.

ZL-1 Camaro (as per Bob Janes) were all alloy 427 if that is what you mean. That would be my choice, and if not an L88 (427 with alloy heads on cast block). In either case with M22 Muncie and 12-bolt.
Next choice probably a Dodge Charger with 426 Hemi |

BCB for a example on newer Holdens, I finished repairing a VQ statesman suspension recently with genuine parts and was surprised by the different origins of the parts.
There were parts from Australia, France, Germany, Great Britain,
Italy, Netherlands,

Right you are BCB.
If it was not for the go old USA. we would never of had aussie made cars.
The pommys can be given the credit of having a go with the P76.
If we did not have aussie cars. i think within my budget. i would only be able to crow on about
