HOLDEN HURRICANE RESTORED....

[Hypermung]

Hi Guys. It has just been announced here in Oz that the iconic Holden Hurricane concept vehicle from 1969 has just been fully restored & I wasn't sure where to put it, so this section is as good as any. http://ninemsn.carpoint.com.au/news/2011/classic-and-rare/holden/holden-revives-hurricane-27287 There's a nice bit in there how the only way they found a sample of the original orange colour was under a piece of tape on the MODEL used for wind tunnel testing. There's a nice clip on You Tube as well

I won't rave on about it too much & just let the links do the talking. Co-incidently, if you were going to build a model of this car, which body would YOU use as a base?. Looks very Can-Am ish to me.

The original concept drawing. This next shot is from the 1969 Sydney (I think?) motor show & It's interesting to note the 'Car of the year' in the background... 1969 Holden HK Monaro. This car was always destined for greatness with even the lowly 'base' models fetching $20K these days. Want a 'GTS' ?. Expect $40K+ now, & if you'd prefer the ultra rare 327 'Bathurst' Monaro, you'd better have at least $100K in your pocket to avoid being laughed at. Ain't hindsight a marvelous thing?
