Any info on the first shot in this post? Art McKee owns the silver Chevy Monza, having just imported it from the US. Roaring Season member aussiemonza now owns this car. Also in this batch is Bill Leckie's very successful Sleepyhead V8 Capri. I posted this car in the Lost race Cars thread, hoping to find out if anyone knows whether the car survived
