A vintage Holden built in South Australia and transformed by a local father and son has driven into the history books.
The 1971 HQ Statesman restored by Matt and Vince Morgillo was awarded the 2019 Street Machine of the Year, one of the nation's most coveted auto awards.
The pair spent a decade under the hood on the classic car which boasts more than 1000 horse power and a 10.3 litre engine.

Somewhere it said it was worth 250K.......I don't care what they spent on it...apart from it not being legal, it ain't worth more than 30K !!

Paying $800 per day for use of your car in a static display.
Ya get an extra $200 if you get used as an extra.

Our Fleetwood would be perfect, stock, L/H drive etc, but they don't need a 1964 model.
Bugger, don't ya hate when ya 1964 Cadillac is "too new" to earn some money.

[Jeepers Creepers]

I looked into this a bit further..... yep, cars from the 60's needed also.

Not sure if it get a run or not, but sent off some pics..... $800 per day, I can do that.

Thanks, i wonder why they went normal rego and not the classic or vintage rego.

Thanks, i wonder why they went normal rego and not the classic or vintage rego.

Club rego has limits on how many days a year you can use them for - thats in Victoria.

EG: https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/registration/limited-use-permits/club-permit-scheme
You can buy either a 45 day or 90 day permit. This means, means you can use your club permit vehicle for that many days per year, but you must keep a log book of all your trips.

[Jeepers Creepers]

its a 59.... but ya pretty close bird.

Yeah, stuff the cheap rego.... mines on full tilt, drive it whenever I want to.

[saph]

Thanks that solves that question

Now the next one: natrual rust or painted on rust? it seems to have been sealed when i looked.

Natural patina looks fantastic. Many Ratrods are like that... clean it up of flakes, and just clear to seal it

like this style myself..  problem is you'd be a cop magnet more than a P plater in a Skyline...

It was interesting to see for sure since that spot is normaly taken by a zook sierra and being so close to salt water (like 2 minutes walk) you would think they would keep a car like that shuttered up in a garage or somewhere.

[Jeepers Creepers]

I've seen it at Rick's Diner a few times.

I'm of the idea, its proper patina with a sealer coat to save it.

She's a pretty wild old thing huh.

[saph]

Its defently neat thats for sure and a nice change in town where all you mostly see is new stuff going about with the odd older car mixed in.

HOLY CRAP BATMAN:..... this is the reply I got this afternoon.

*****Thank you for contacting us. We are shooting a feature film in the Gold Coast early next year about Elvis. Your car would be very useful to use in the movie. When more information comes to hand I will be back in touch.

Gee this gigger is tidy... love the headrests into a 2 seater sports roadster Tonneau cover... thats different.

[glenm64]

That would have to be one of the coolest cars Ive seen. Those Thunderbirds had the best lines. Never seen that model before.
