roadkill Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) Oh Trevor is there ever, here in the land down under we have a few things that really get us goin, a little annual event called "Bathurst 1000", and from there we extrapolate to our fave home (Australia) grown muscle cars, we have heaps. One of these is the XY Ford Falcon GTHO that in 1971 was a pretty awesome car, there is a very famous photo taken over drivers shoulder with the speedo just over 140 mph, this was straight off the show room floor. Some time back, not sure when a company called Icon Models released the 1/8 scale XY Ford GTHO, they also released the complete engine as a separate deal, the model had to be assembled, had fantastic detail and were an all round awesome model, and being diecast they are very heavy. At the time they sold for just over a thousand dollars, but to get one now you would probably need half the US defense budget. As you can see in the pics someone has taken the HUGE step to highly modify one, I just hope it turns out as good as this guys other works. Michael.
