Not Ranked
Harry, I'm not convinced. We all know how much work goes into building one of these or any car from scratch. Seems like a lot of trouble for a B grade when they could have just used a Torana or Falcon, even a Capri or another porsche. The budget for building the car would have been almost half the entire movie budget.
If the film was released '87, it would have had to have been built '85-'86. I was looking for a kit then and all I could find was Autostyling in WA,
Bob Darnell was just starting with the Robnell, maybe George V, a few others like Rob Grave and then partner Paul Wooley(later of WE) -G-Force, and they were all building 427 chassis. No one was doing smaller MK 1. It has a most authentic stance and character.
Having said that, the seats and steering wheel aren't Cobra, and it was a bit risky driving it that hard on a cliff edged road.
Love the tow hitch on the H.O.
