HDT had no input on them.

when i had a calais na. i heard all sorts of ****.
"kwatm is the most often used measurement of power in australia (killowatts at the mouth)"
i had every other ****head tell me their mates cousin had a bt1 with a "freak" engine that beat worked everything at calder back in the day.
one time i was sitting beside my na auto 320,000km claais when some guy started telling his friend how it was one of the biggest sleepers in melb and he recognised the plates.
if its not on the build plate or birth sheets its probably bull****

Cmon John.....
As I've previously mentioned on here, when I was growing up around Klemzig as a kid.
There used to be an ex cop car (baby blue too)that was a registered taxi in the 90's.
Just off O.G. Road it used to live.
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
