Sadly I don't have that many and definetly not digital! I'll get organized over the chrissy break and scan some to post. All that seems to have changed on the car from the earlier shots was the seat inserts and the wheels/tyres. Not noticeable was the auto and highstall installed by the previous owner to me. He too kept the car imaculate.

Hi All
I finally unpacked the last of my boxes and tracked down the 1984 Street Machine Magazine featuring BL 444.
Cheers Jim

Tony (nascohunter) sent me this pic to share.
Taken at Holden's 40 anniversary at Port Melbourne in 1988, it shows "the Big M" car in a line up of FC's.
Is it the same car? If yes, this must have been before devilrod owned it.
Regards
Alex

Cheers Alex. Car and plates are definitely his but we're not too sure on the driver of the car. Seems to have way too much hair for Bob in those days

As other people have mentioned this FC was the basis for my passion throughout the 80's. I had every magazine this FC was in. Its great now to see these pics of it. Also Alan HALES FC was sensational and to see it at the last nats was great. I hope this FC is still kicking strong somewhere

Hey Alex, thats not it. If you look it has no flares on the gaurds and what looks to be a different interior altogether. I have found some pics and a more current feature in a car audio mag that was done while I owned it. Only problem is my scanner software doesn't like XP. I'll have to do it at work and post them.
Sure wish I knew where it was know, wouldn't mind seeing what condition its in...

Bob's FC was used in the Big M ads but unfortunately the car looked too good. So they sprayed something over the car to dull it off for the ad, the downside of which was the paint started to craze later on in life, basically not long after I got it. Hence the respray.

Mate, would you have the contact details of the member you speak of? Very interested in at least taking a look and haggling

Found the ad on you tube that I loved so much back then. Hopefully I have done the right thing with the link.

Back then the ad was huge, all you had to say with a snooty voice was "oh how quaint, an Australian car" and people would know exactly what you were referring to. Absolute gold.

Loved the ad. Ah what memories
As you say it was hugely popular and I was driving an FC at the time. Every time I was out, there would be people coming up to me and asking where I left my big M.
thanks for the clip - brilliant!
