Thanks for the replies.
My Brother in Law is doing some work on an FE and is chasing a standard wheel to sit in the boot for a spare.
A useable crossply tyre on a rim is the most ideal.
Regards
Alex

Thanks Surferboy. I have never seen the smaller version. I thought I had finally acquired the last colour advert this month, now I find out there is another.  Regards Alex |

Some cool wall art.
Interested to know more about the FE advert above the clock.
Is this an original ad or has it been made up?
I have not seen the ad as what appears to be a single page, only seen it as a double page.
If original, I would love to know what magazine and the date it was published.
Regards
Alex

Love seeing the bones of the car exposed.
I would have thought some bracing would have been required when removing the quarter panel.
These bodies were made in a jig in the factory to ensure trueness.
Keep the pics coming, enjoying the thread.

Alex

Well, the Crater Critter was campaigned by dairy farmers Bob Buchanan and Allan Gamble, so not Bruce Martin who is mentioned in the above article. The article you posted a link to is from a Jan '69 Rod sports mag and in that it states that the critter ran in the 14's. There is an uncaptioned photo in the '68 Hot Rod magazine which I suspect id the Martin altered Holden. Check out that cool driver position.  Regards Alex |

Just pulled out the June '68 Hot Rod magazine which has a report on the Calder meet.
The report states "Making a debut appearance, and a pretty wild one at that, was the Corvette-milled Holden of Bruce Martin which, running C/A, stamped down the distance with impressive reliability to stop the clocks at 12.12 and collect class win. This new jigger is one of the wildest to hit the scene for some time and is going to be one of the real hard chargers."
I would think based on the description, that this record was set with a small block Chev (Corvette) on-board.
It may have competed with a grey at some point, but I don't think it was on-board when running 12s.
Regards
Alex
