    Was a competition prize or something. Maybe in NZ?

    Not photoshopped. As was said, it was built for a radio station in New Zealand and auctioned for charity. It's called the Folden.

    There is quite a bit of info about this car on youtube, including a segment on how it was built. I think it looks great.

    That is just wrong. I get the irony but still.
    Would have looked better with a Camaro front.

    The point of it was that the radio DJ's were sick of their listeners arguing about which Marque was better so they built something for everyone.

    I agree though, a Camaro front on a HQ would be an interesting project. Anyone got a spare one lying around?

    I just find it funny that they found a good Aussie/NZ GMH rear 3/4, but couldn't find a decent nose of an Aussie Ford and had to use imported US stuff! I bet the nose panels were all new repros. It is all HQ right up to above the front wheels. I bet if they tried they couldn't find a decent back 3/4 of an Aussie Ford either, they are worth too much to restorers as so many have been claimed by terminal rust there aren't enough left.
