The HD has always been an Adelaide car.
It was built by a bloke who's name escapes me ATM, but I was a
fellow club member with him back in the ol' Chev & Pontiac club of SA days, many moons ago.
Its had been fitted with a HK dash, with a stinkin' hot 6 and was a show winner back in the 70's
He had sold the car by then and went on to put together one of the cleanest 70 Camaro's you would ever see.
I do have a feature of the HD in my old magazine libarary somewhere from when it first hit the scene.

It has since been upgraded even further from back then.

Cheers

the quailty of this car was back then.
