The muscle car culture in Australia was really based on four door sedans... Weird, I know. The roads are bad, the weather is HOT and people just didn't take up cruising-style hardtops. There were basically only three hardtop body styles getting around - One each from GM, Ford and Chrysler. They were all based on cut-down 4 door models anyway:

GM/Holden Monaro:

Ford Falcon hardtop:

Chrysler Charger:

The most significant Australian designed/built muscle car was the Falcon GT-HO. This was the world's fastest 4-door car for many years. These cars dominated road racing over here throughout the early 70's and shaped a lot of the car culture from then on:

There were never any big (C-body style) two doors from any manufacturer built over here. Also no factory big-blocks in anything, not even pickup trucks. The best we ever got was 351 Fords, 350ci GM cars and low-po 360 Chryslers. The performance Mopar engine here was the 245/265ci "Hemi" 6cyl.

End of history lesson. Thanks for posting the pics, i2s2bme

THX..........For whatever reason y'all got some cool wheels. I wish we had those body styles here too.
