1.... Bolwell Nagari--- probably a bit hard for most it was a kit car that went into production back in early 70's in Australia there was earlier models mark 1 to 5 which ran holden 6's but the Nagari was the serious production model which ran ford V8 running gear the early model ran a 302 but the last ran 351's the also made a soft top model (nice)
2.... Lamborghini Espada Series 1---- the true 4 seater sports car it had 4 sepearate bucket seats and ran a 4.0lt V12
3.... 1972 Holden LJ Torana GTR-XU1----- one of the great little aussie classics ran a 202 (3.3lt) 6 with 3- 2 barrell stromberg carbs this model one the Bathurst car race in that year ( this would have been my first real fast car I have been back in 72 )
4.... 1975 Valiant VJ Charger ---- another Australian model the VJ offered 2 sixs (245 and 265) and 3 V8's (318 340 360) the previous model in 1972 the VH and the classic model code named E49 this had the claim to fame as the faster 1/4 mile time for a australian production car a record that has only just been beaten in the 90's by a HSV Commodore
5.... 1972 Chrysler by Chrysler 2 door this was the flag ship of the Valiant range in that year the also made a 4 door which was more popular
6.... 1972 model Holden HQ Monaro 2 Door ( this one is slightly modifed) this is the 4th in the series of monaro's had motor sizes of 173 & 202 (6's) and 253 308 350 (V8's) the monaro name died 2 model after and has just been reserected in 2002
7.... Iso Grifo--- ( this was the hard one ) italian made but Chevy powered The series 2 marked the change to the 427 corvette engine. During the upgrade, major changes were made to the front of the car and the hood. After 1972, the chevrolet engine proved unreliable and Iso moved towards a Ford driveline. Bertone deisgned the body of the Grifo for both the first and second series.
