I believe this bus was owned by the great Louie "The Leopard" Antonievich. His son Tony owns a cool car and plane collection, which includes the Joe Chamberlain/Dennis Marwood Camaro. Louie was a fearsome Stockcar competitor.

Another shot of the track. Not sure who owns the Falcon coupe with the radiused rear fenders, but its pretty cool!

This is one of a few Capri bodied Funnycars built by Graham Berry.

Ivan Jujnovich's '56 Chevy hardtop. With a different paint job, I think this is the same car that appeared in the Weetbix Hot Rod card collection in the late '70s. Remember those?

I have most of the cards but not the folder or the poster, have several duplicates, to swap !! If you want what I have posted, can do that on one of the threads ..
I understand that most of the photos used were taken at a Hot Rod and Custom Show in Rotorua..
here is one as a teaser !!
where I had duplicates I managed to put both picture and description in one image !!

I'm pretty sure that Falcon Coupe was raced by Brett Wilson from Hastings. Had a 428 CJ in it. It appeared in a lot of the NZHRM drag racing coverage back in the mid-late seventies.
Cheers,
Bob.
