When good leads go bad.....C3 Vette Replica

Hey All

During my fabulous welcome to CAC, the general discussions evolved to include my mention (:duh opening ones mouth before brain engaged.... again) of C3 Vette & Transam replicas made here in Christchurch NZ, by a gentleman called Tom Morland.
A few of you seemed interested, so as promised I contacted the NZ Hot Rod Editor (retired) who put me in contact with the current editor, who knew the article I was refering to about Mr. Morland, being Feb 1984, as yes they still had a copy!, which now rests in front of me :Twist........ So much for the good news.

Upon opening the magazine, I found the Transam Replica Story :_rock, but no Vette Story;shrug. Dam that memory thing again.... cant remeber what it's called?;LOL

So to keep your appetites wet, heres the Transam Story. First photo is the car they canabilised, being a Holden(GM) HQ. Believe it not, they have a racing series here for old girls (Yeah, and you have C3 replicas too!:hb).
The second and third upload is the article. Sorry for the quality, but the 83kb limit was difficult to achieve when each page started at 10Mb.

I will continue to search out that C3 Vette Replica Story though, so tune in next week, same vette time, same vette channel!
