TR11 CHARGER First released in August 1971, the Charger was an immediate success for Chrysler. And, at one time, accounted for 50% of the production from their South Australian factory. Powered originally by the famous 'Hemi' (for hemispherical head) straight six engine and later a 318 ci V8, the Charger won immediate acceptance from the Australian motoring public and had a strong export market, particularly to New Zealand, the U.K. and Japan. Eleven R/T Chargers were entered in the Bathurst 500 mile endurance race in 1971 without success, but in 1972 a Charger came home in third place giving Chrysler its best ever result in the race. 31,857 Chargers were built between 1971 and 1978 when production ceased and surviving samples are now highly sought-after collector's items. This
model represents the 770 which was marketed as the top of the line model for
buyers requiring luxury with high performance. |

TR12HZ HOLDEN Panel Van (NRMA) The much maligned Holden Panel Van, is perhaps one of the most famous icons from the Golden Age of Australia Motoring. Now Trax is delighted to bring back the Holden panel van, together with an equally famous motoring name, the NRMA Road Service. The NRMA placed it's faith in Holden vans for their robust construction and ability to carry all the equipment demanded of a "mobile workshop." The HZ version is powered by a 202 engine with a 3-speed
automatic transmission and was first used by the NRMA in 1977. Even today
this vehicle can still be seen in service throughout many rural centres
across New South Wales. The sight of an approaching NRMA Van provides
stranded motorists with a welcome sign of relief and the confidence in
knowing that they will be soon on their way again. |

TR13B HOLDEN FC Sedan In May 1958 when Holden introduced the FC model, it was to be Holden's most successful model prior to the arrival of the EH. Across the FC range, four vehicle types were offered including the sedan, panel van, ute, plus Holden's first station wagon. The sedan by now also offered the choice of three trim levels; Standard, Special, Special and Business. With its six cylinder, 2171cc engine the FC could reach a top speed of 86mph and accelerate from 0-60mph in 19.5 seconds. From
its side view, the FC was often referred to as a "scaled down Chev",
and during its production ere, not only was the 500,00th Holden produced, but
the 10,000th Holden car was exported. |
