i remember talking to a girl with an LC or LJ torana who said she had a 138 red motor-threw me off because i couldn't remember reading about a 138 red existing, but i know they do now
do they have grey or red style engine mounts?

had one in an LC that would spin the tyres 1st, 2nd, and chirp the tyres in third went quite well

Mick, I would have to agree with sunny T. Green plus grey is beautiful.
Mrs Irene Brawn in Wattle St St Marys had one from new. In 1967 I cut my foot bad and Mrs Brwn took me to the doctors in her sedan. Blood all over the green fleck seats

does look nice but i allready have the white and green flake, plus i've painted the roof white allready, that was a hard decission in itself when i saw the NSW judging day pics there was a pic of a castille and white and i like the green roof, BUT what it all boils down to is when it gets 2 doored the flash will go, even though i like it i doubt i'll have the money to have custom moulds made up
