Jack Nazer's Victor Chev, pictured here in the pits at the Jan 1975 NZ Grand Prix, was the shape of the future for the big capacity N.Z.Saloon Champs category. The days of the modified road car, were on the way out despite the best efforts of some stalwarts. O.S.C.A. in some ways paved the way for the transition. Hybrids and silouette style racers were the brave new world for the big grunters. The Nazer Victor, while fairly conservative in this initial guise, was to become more radical looking in the years that followed. Initially equiped with ex Neal Doyle Begg FM2 F5000 Chevy engine, this later evolved to a full house McLaren built injected Chevy. This hybrid was professionally built by Jimmy Stone and bore little in common with the many backyard O.S.C.A. specials of the period.Originally Posted by Steve Holmes

Jack and the Victor were the dominant combo over the last two seasons of the classic years of the Big Banger champs. Apart from the dubiously legal PDL Mustang 2 of Leo Leonard, which may have been marginally faster on its spasmodic appearances and Red Dawson (the Monza was also a "fringe" saloon as well) who was on terms with Nazer at times, the mighty Victor was the class act of the final stand, of the true Tin Top thunder brigade!
