and more recently after now defunct GM-H retrieved it from storage and restored it.
holden built two prototypes. one for the show circuit and one to test.
they destruction tested the original twin.

That is pretty darn cool. All the panels are there. Get a late 80’s corvette and put that drive train in it.

Not sure I could agree with that,why would you butcher such a rare car ,the car is very light and the 186 cu inch 6 would be enough give it good performance ,these were "built" motors ,triple carbs and headwork with cam and if I remember correctly high comp pistons as the cast originals were to prone cracking @ the ring grooves and forged crank.
I fear if this car gets finished it may be relegated to display only as it has never been registered for the road ,being fiberglass it may be another victom of OZ ADR rules but sure that wonkipop would know more ..hope he chimes in .
Merry Xmas, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) .
