Time to revive this excellent thread. This is one of my all-time favorite Australian touring cars; Bryan Thomson's 427 cu.in big block 1968 Camaro. This car was built from a drag race car, which I assume at some stage had been a road car in Australia, because it was right hand drive.

Thomson's local race track was Calder Park, and he figured that as Calder was essentially a series of drag strips joined by a couple of corners, if he built a car that went like a bullet in a straight line, it'd be pretty competitive during the highly competitive Improved Production era.

Its a cool car that still exists today, although it did get pretty cut up as it evolved into a Sports Sedan in the 1970s.
