Yeah. I remember thinking the Americans were so lucky. They seemed to have the best of everything. Australia, particularly Brisbane seemed so dull and backwater. Now I thank God every day I don’t live in that madhouse with an old coot running the show, and a fool inches away from taking over. Gun violence, race violence at its worst etc….
I was never quite a Holden man, even though I bought 3 over the years, but I would be in a heartbeat if the Lion was resurrected. (Unless they built EVs, forget that.) Very nice example, this.
My Uncles was a deeper metallic choc brown color .. was original HZ with upgrades to the 308 engine ended up a stoker with mustang pistons .. I think, then right after the vehicle was stolen from Hornsby NSW ... no matter the reward money .. its simply vanished ... was a magic time growing up in the 70s.... sandman's ( and Valliant's equivalent in bright yellow) .. XC Cobras , SLR 5000 in lime green... deep maroon Monaro's with honey comb wheels .. and girls with freckles LOL not to mention YoYos and ... wait for it .. firework !!! yeah we had fireworks AFP !!!!! cap guns .. cowboy hats .. and crazy cars sold on showroom floors in Oz like Boss 429 Mustangs in 1969.... My Grandpa had one , white with gold stripe.....
