    Ford only had a 10 year dream window in the muscle car era from 1968 to 1978.... Anything outside of that is just rubbish.... If you havent you should attend the gt nationals and see first hand the difference between a concours judged XY Gt and an equivalently judged monaro or torana in the same class.... Not even in the same stratosphere

    No need to get defensive or abusive.... Ever been to a Gt nationals... Their concours cars are detailed to higher than factory spec... that attention to detail is brought about by a far more comprehensive judging regime... This is aided by the fact that ford back in the day with their Gt spec cars built them like a grand tourer and they are real matching numbers cars and ford has the GT held in much higher esteem than most holdens... holden simply just punched here cars off the production line and car build and componentry varies from state to state....

    I am not a ford fan but i can appreciate the level of restoration to concours standard in a lot of their elite cars.... And detail far exceeds anything to date at a monaro nationals.... In fact concours at the last monaro nationals was downright embarrasing in comparison.... Absolutely beautiful monaros in their own right but when it comes to detail they are not a patch on the Xy boys

    Each to their own i guess.....

    Even narrower window than that Al. 1967 to 1973/4 ie XR to XA. Once GroupC became a reality there were no more Ford Aussie perfromance cars. Same as GMH after L34, and they were just as narrow ie 1968-1974. Yes both had homologation cars but they were not high perfromance engines eg XC Cobra and LX A9X.
