Thanks for the great pics, Alan. I remember the Pair of FC's article, it was basically my inspiration at the time. I may even have the mag. somewhere. Keep the pics coming, they are great to see.

When i was young, early teens i was mesmerised by FC Holdens.  I used to buy all the mags and also what used to be Just cars.  I have a photo album i just found full of cuts outs of FE-EK Hioldens that i collected.  One of the captions for a FC for sale was GUNNAS DUNNIT and he had this FC for sale for $15000-!!!(worthy every cent, anothe one was the brown FC ute with blown 6)  I will promise to try and scan them all and get them on here, I think people will be amazed by how many FC's they may know that were for sale mid 80's.  Im just wondering though about the phone numbers on the adds??  As I said I have a full phot album of FE-EK's that were for sale, all with pics

Wow, what an interesting thread, Alex, looking back over the cars, and reading the story makes me remember so much. I too had the article that Norm Darwin wrote and it was an inspiration into the build up of my own car.  I remember being stunned when later I saw that Alan had converted his FC from a 6 to an 8. I remember seeing at the 82 nats and thought wow, I had seen it so many times in a magazine and now I was looking at the real deal. Alan if you read this, thankyou so much for the inspiration that you provided me over the years. Alex, thankyou so much for the memories, obviously I hadn't dug back into some of the older threads far enough.

FC 225, that number plate is still etched into the memory banks...

Bump, Worth another look I thought.

I thought since this thread has been brought back to the top, I would restore some of the missing pics that I could.
Adding some new pics also. Here's some pics of Alan's FC at the Phillip Island Nats.












And lastly, on the speed loop at Lang Lang.
