Brian Hutchesson's Outlaw Speed Shop Y block &*#@ powered Fiat Altered.

Seen here in its heyday on the cover of Australian Hot Rod 1967, at Australias first night drags being run at Sydneys Castlereagh Raceway,
and another pic of it competing at Adelaide's long defunct Brooksfield Raceway.

Looks a fair bit different to me, with the roll bars in the first pic not going through the back, the exhaust in the first pic's are higher than(or level with) the roof but not in the second pic's,
I know these things could have been changed, and probably have :D .
Nice find though, a shame to see it sitting there going to waist :twisted: , Trev 8) .

EK Jay, I dont think I'll be picking it up :(
Its not for sale :( :( :(

So that answers your question to Rat
I'm not the only person that knows its there,
and many a good man have left there empty handed.

Trev it does look different, agreed, It clearly has Outlaw signwritten on its side
along with Hutchies name just under the side window.

It could very well be a second version of a string of altereds that Hutchie run over the years,
or it could be the first one modified, I'm not sure.

Here is some more pics, that are a lot closer to the format that the car is now in.

This shot is again from Brooksfield but in 1968.

This shot was taken in the mid `70's at Adelaide International Raceway
in the staging lanes.
This could be a third or forth version by then.
