That's the one that Devo built wasn't it???
I didn't think it had a trans am front... i thought it had a Torana grill.

Opps. By the way Welcome Garry!!!

Yeah that's right Peter "Devo" Davidson. He was a mate of mine at the time, when he was returning to live Canberra he offered the van to me (very cheapy) which I took him up on. He stayed with my wife and I for a while when he came back to Brizzy for business (in a modified and air brushed holden wagon), after he returned we lost touch with him. I must do a search on Peter as well

I had the van for a while. One weekend I was towing my drag car to Willowbank with the Van and a old guy in front of me braked suddenly (he was in a Valiant) and the trailer brakes failed (hire trailer) and I couldn't pull her up in time. That destroyed the custom front end.
I put a HQ Premier front end on it, just to get he back on the road.

Not long after I blew up 3rd gear, after replacing the gear box. I ended up swapping her for a Collora Wagon that some surfy guy had for sale at the time. He promptly resprayed the entire Van in some baby poo colour, totally wiping out those beautiful Murals. Arguably Peter's greatest work (and at the time he had been voted one of Australia best muralist). At this point I wanted to turn back time and keep it, Damn shame.

Although I probably couldn't affort it, I would love to buy it and restore it to it's original "Devo" condition.

Any leads as to the current owner would be great...

Yeah it wasn't a Transam graft, more a custom build, in a transam style (that's my interpretation anyway).
