    The bonnet scoop on that monaro/GTS is awesome!

    Having a bit of a chuckle at the typo in your second sentence Big Rob, who did you confirm it with? (lol!)

    Pretty sure it was called the 308Q so guessing it just had the 308.

    If I had the patience for fibreglass I'd be tempted to do a replica. I've got all the bits required.

    I thought there was a yellow & black Hq sedan as a factory demo called old man emu 400 small block, as hk has said Hj was meant to get a 400 chev but they stuck with 308 as the big engine.

    Super chicken was Pre- Sandman. Holden were looking into doing a sports van and ute and this was the first idea they came up with. The positive reaction at motor shows from the public confirmed their research and they went ahead and built the Sandman.
    I didn't confirm it.... Holden did!
    Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!
