Holden Sandman Pannelvan

A true classic with great history!

Unique Cars Magazine?

I am a long time subscriber to this usually fantastic and informative magazine.  The anticipation that appears near the release of the mag every month is sometimes unbearable.  I am interested in your thoughts and opinions on the current state of the publication though.  One issue that is driving me mad is the over abundance of personalised number plates that fill the final quater of the read.  Who really gives a fat toss about these?  If you are into number plates that much create a new publication titled - Unique Number Plates!  Please keep the car magazine for its original purpose, UNIQUE CARS!.

What a Find

Check out this collection of Ford GT's found in South Africa.  I would be wrapped to own one of these classics!

HK Kingswood - More Pics

Here are a few more pictures of my 1069 HK Kingswood.  It is a beautiful car that never misses a beat.  The sun must be shining for me to get her out.  Let me know what you think of her!




Datsun 120Y

I have just taken posession of this little ripper.  A 1973 Datsun 120Y purchased from an old mate of mine.  It will be a handy little run around when not sitting neatly in the shed.  My mate's mother bought this new back in the day and he wanted it to go to someone who would keep it tidy and take care of it.  Not exactly a muscle car and it is from Jap land; however, it runs beautifully and needs very little done to it.  It is great to be able to keep the Dato running for the sentimental value!

Mercedes Vito 115 Extra Long - For Sale

I am selling my Vito. This is a 2007 model with 75000 km on the clock. Known as the best van on the market it is full of tourqe, has great speed due to twin turbos and holds the road extremely nicely. I have owned this van from new and it has never been used for work. I added a rear 3 seat in rear for passengers which is very practical. If you are interested leave a comment below and I will contact you. Asking price is $31000.

Holden Monaro V Falcon GTHO

Two fantastic motor cars built for a purpose.  I would love to own either or both of them at some stage; however, they are too bloody expensive for my very modest budget.

I am interested to hear which is greater though!!

1969 HK Kingswood

This is my old girl, named Harold (make sense of that), after her original owner who sadly passed on.  I have owned the car for two years having purchased it of Harold from SA.  It is in the same condition that i bought it, having driven it back to Ballarat from Adelaide Airport.  One tank of fuel and it didn't miss a beat!  She/He is a rippa.


Welsome to Classic Aussie Cars

I am interested in sharing thoughts/ideas on the Aussie Motoring market.  My passion lies with muscle cars from the late 60's & 70's.  Unusually I do not favour either Holden or Ford.  Both provided awesome machines with their own unique characteristics.
I do own a 1969 HK Holden Kingswood in totally original condition.  This is not exactly a pure muscle car; however, a great cruiser.  It also provided me with an affordable way to grab an old holden.
What cars do you own, wish you owned?  Post pics and let me know your thoughts.
