Great pics, thanks.  Interesting to see some of the different vehicles in your area...

That green 32 Ford Roadster almost had me fooled for a second, seems that dressing up a SB Chevy to kinda look like a Ford engine, in this case, a Y Block, is alive and well 1/2 way around the world. Especially with the Ford truck looking Rams Horn exhaust manifolds. Interesting how the yellow Charger has a good sized section of body between the rear of the trunk lid and the back of the car. Imagine trying to load/unload heavy items in the trunk could be challenging, especially if one was fairly short, or not wanting to scratch up the paint. Being in Australia, I though the the 351 Cleveland would have been better represented, didn`t they make the 351C in Australia much longer than North America?  I always thought that the 351C was a great looking engine, and had great aftermarket support in Australia.  Also, seems like the old style Centerline "Auto Drag" wheels are pretty popular down under. I have had Centerline Auto Drags on my Fairmont for almost 40 years now, and am on a Centerline facebook group, and there are lots of Aussies there. Thanks for the photos.

As Bart said its a 1968ish through 71ish Holden (General Motors) Monaro. Same as the last pic. Came with 6 cylinder or small block V8.

I got fooled by that 32 roadster for a bit too Rory. Quite liked it up until that point! The Cleveland was made here until the early to mid 80's and was by far the most popular Ford V8 in these parts for a long time. But that's 40 years ago now and Windsor based are probably ahead in popularity for a 'hot rod'. All the factory type stuff from the era usually still have a Clevo. The night I was there the outside parking was for American cars only so no local content in the outdoor photos. Autodrags are often referred to here as 'Adelaide hubcaps'. There's a lot of cars in this city that still run them.

That "GIRTH" license plate on the chopper reminds me of something funny from my Ford days.  The 1991 Lincoln Town Car was all new and it introduced the 4.6L Modular V8.  The Modular Engine guys were very proud of this, so they had embroidered jackets made up.

"Lincoln Town Car.  Because girth is everything!"
A careful study of failure will yield the ingredients for success.

European one looks a little smaller. Not sure about the Brazilian one.
