Kicking of this hot issue are a beautiful pair of one owner cars, an LJ Torana GTR XU-1 and a lovely Falcon XT GT which the owner almost missed out on when he was told the dealership only had a Fairmont available. Next up is a 1954 Hudson Hornet that was purchased by a passionate car hunter back in 1963 and stayed in his possession until 1985. Everyone loves a Monaro and boy do we have a beauty, a HK ‘Bathurst’ GTS 327 ordered by a Dealer Principal who held onto it for almost two decades. You’ll never be let down by a trusty Corolla and here we feature a beautifully preserved KE55 that’s been in the one family from new. How about a lovely VH Valiant Ranger XL that the current owner drooled over for many years until he was finally given the chance to snap it up.

Our Future Survivor is a smashing 2006 HSV VZ GTO LE Coupe. Finished in Yellow Devil, it’s not for someone that wants to stay low key! From a desert oasis comes this Issue’s International Survivor, a 1974 Toyopet Corona Mark II coupe with hips that still look great 48 years later. Is that a typo? What’s a Toyopet we hear you ask?
