Wow, I love that Mustang. The changes you've made with the rear flares etc have already made a huge difference.

Not sure whether this connection has been put up before so HMC fans have a look at our Facebook page. We have posted quite a few photos, both period and current, of the muscle cars that we are trying to emulate with this class.

If you have any such photos would love to be able to post them on that page for all to enjoy.

Cheers Mike

David Woods 76 Dodge Aspen coming along nicely, be ready for next season!! we have an explosion in HMC cars coming at us next summer!!

[Kiwiboss]

Been awhile but another car in the build coming to HMC is Karl Sentch from Auckland in his Capri Perana replica currently under construction. It will feature a 302 Windsor V8, Toploader gearbox and 15X8 wheels. Don't us Kiwis just luv Capris

[Kiwiboss]

Wanganui's Ian Williamson has just recently purchased this 70 mustang open track car out of California, it needs some compliance sorted which Ian understands but otherwise another great looking HMC car coming, expect to see it at the MG Classic, Manfeild in November.

[Kiwiboss]

Ken Sturrock(Daves brother) has also just recently purchased this beautiful 67 A-Sedan Camaro out of Oregon, USA. Some compliance is needed but not much, its turn key ready to race otherwise and features a 500HP 302 Chevy, Muncie trans, period 15inch wheels, etc another great addition to HMC.

[Kiwiboss]

The new owner wishes to remain anonymous until he gets his baby but this beautiful 69 Mustang was recently purchased out of Brisbane, Australia minus engine and will join the HMC grid next season, it will live in the lower north Island, once again minor compliance issues and a new HMC spec engine will see it line up on the grid.

[Kiwiboss]

Although already racing a 70 Capri Perana with HMC, Auckland local Mitch Mexted is hard into his build of his HMC spec 67 XR Falcon sedan, it will feature a 351 iron Cleveland, Toploader trans, 9inch diff, 15X8 wheels and will be done as a Geohegan look alike replica, how cool will that be!! he plans to be ready and racing at HMC first TACCOC meeting October 8th at Hampton.

[Kiwiboss]

So there you have, just a couple of new HMC cars coming to Historic big banger Saloon car racing here in good ol NZ, its not all that bad out there I guess. There are others coming but some have been stagnant for a while so once they get moving again I will put them up on here!!

Good to see more cars Dale. Keep at it! Also good to cars that can run in more than one class.

As the Team Cambridge Monaro is getting close to finishing, my XA Coupe-083 -is surplus to requirements.
No point in it sitting collecting dust in my garage, when some keen racer have have fun with it.
It is available to some one who want a serious HMC 633 h.p. race car with COD, and appreciates the cost involved in building one to the rules.
Please PM me if interested,
