    Don't worry, guys. These events are annual events. They'll be on again next year.
    That Phase 4 for instance has been at the last two All Ford days I've attended (2005 and this year). I reckon it'll be there next year.
    No doubt other interesting cars will turn up at the various events next year.

    More photos from the 2007 AMC Muscle Car Masters.

    1, 2 & 3. Peter Brock's 1991 Holden Commodore VN Group A racer. After three years of racing rival marques (a BMW in 1988 and Fords in 1989 & 90), Peter Brock "returned" to Holden. Well, not officially - the relationship between Brock and Holden wasn't patched up until Brock joined the Holden Racing Team in 1994. Instead Brock formed a short-lived (one year) partnership with his former Bathurst winning co-driver Larry Perkins to run a two car team of the then new Holden Commodore VN Group A with Mobil sponsorship. Perkins built the cars and engines, Brock supplied the media image and sponsorship. The VN was the last of the Group A racing Commodores, and at the 1991 Bathurst 1000, the 4.9 litre Holden V8 had been massaged to achieve about 413kW (550 bhp) at about 8,500 rpm. They were at their limits in terms of reliability at this sort of power level, and still struggled to match the opposition Skyline GTRs.

    4. '39 Chevrolet Coupe which raced in the NZ Central Muscle Cars race.
    5. Interesting Group C Nissan EXA Turbo which raced in the 1983 and 1984 Bathurst 1000.
    6. A Group C Falcon XD touring car which raced in the 1980 and 81 Bathurst 1000 races. The Falcons race with a 5.8 litre (351 cu in) V8 putting out about 300kW (400 bhp). This is the car in its 1981 livery as raced by Brian Muir/Peter Geohagan.

    Back to my photos. Some Falcon GTHOs:
    1. Ex Fred Gibson GTHO
    2. Another ex-Bathurst GTHO
    3 & 4. Two GTHOs from the Biante Historic Touring Car races.

    5. Ex John Goss Group C Falcon XC Hardtop as raced in the 1979 Bathurst 1000.
    6. The prototype HDT Monza. This was Peter Brock's idea of taking the German built Opel Monza and fitting it with the Holden 5.0 litre V8 engine to create a unique German-Aussie muscle car. Unfortunately, it never made production. If it had, it would've been the 1980s Monaro.

    3. The new Holden Commodore VE Ute

    That's it for the photos. There are another couple of events in coming weeks (a classic car display at Burwood, NSW on Sunday week, a Toyota club display in a couple of weeks and the Australian International Motor Show next month), which I intend to go to. If I do get to the forthcoming events, I'll post some more photos.

    Indeed.

    And that Monza V8 is very interesting. A shame nothing came out of it.

    Yeah, I'd never heard of that. Would've been damn fast with the 304/308 in it.

    Some of My pictures. Alot are of the races and parking grounds, not of the pit displays.. Due to the fact I had the 70/300 lens on and didnt have the 18/50 with me, as I left it in the car..

    And we might have had it, which makes it even better.
