Fibreglass Australian built tilt front body. Built on tough as nails Holden 1 tonner chassis. Engine is 350 Chev V8 with Turbo 350 auto trans. Engine has 4 barrel Holley and alloy manifold. All parts used in car come from locally delivered vehicles (eg Gemini, Kingswood etc) so spares are easilly available."
