$6,000?

The Chrysler Hemi and, presumably, 18-spline A833 would be worth a lot more than that now.

One of the first cars built by Graham McRae - a couple of photos from 1962 have emerged and I found one in the 1963 Shell Book of New Zealand Motor Racing - the review of the 1962 -63 Season.

The car was restored and raced in the late 1980's and early 1990's - according to the last two photos [ one from Ray Green, dated 1989, has probably appeared on another [ his own ] thread.
Milan Fistonic also had a photo of the car from 1994.

The 1962 photos from Brian Faulkner archives with the month and year on the image.





The image from the 1963 Shell Book. The article on Sports Cars and Saloons [ p38 ]



The ERC Ray Green photo from 1989 - in colour. with his coded reference ' 89 '



Milan Fistonic photo from Whenuapai 1994 " Wings and Wheels " with Ross Ford driving.



First new post on this thread since 2021 - was unsure where to put the photos - Do we need a
- ' " NZ Special " built cars ' story - I looked back over 8 pages of threads to find one.

Yes like this one - came to NZ in the 1950's and was back here in 1984 - probably other times as well.



The Wylie Javelin.

It is in this photo but at the far side of the grid.

Life in Los Olivos, Ca.
While you Kiwis can get away to the race tracks such as Hampton Downs and Manfeild and assemble fields to go racing in front of the crowds, Hyndman has to get away from the interested folks of Los Olivos and go hide out in the fields. Such is life here in the country.

The "mayor" of Los Olivos at work with his boss serving roasted walnuts at Christmas time. A family tradition.
