The FJ Holden is an Australian icon. – Australian designed and built, the Australian public identified with the car and it remains as an instantly recognisable and much loved symbol of Australia during its most prosperous period. As the runaway best seller of the fifities, a goodly proportion of Australia’s population either owned one or was conceived in one. Now the car has been reprised by Holden in a wild 21st Century hot rod concept unveiled today at the Australian International Motor Show in Sydney. Known as the EFIJY (an effigy is a stylistic representation of someone or something famous) is a radical pillarless custom coupe boasting a supercharged six-litre V8 engine, a Chevrolet Corvette underbody and state-of-the-art automotive technology throughout.

I approve with the following exception: how in the Hell are you supposed to see out of that back window? If they did push something like that into production, they're going to have to consider that.

The only reason one might have to look out the rear window is to see if there are red and blue flashing lights behind you! :cool2: :bang2:



Crikey! What a beauty she is! :thumbsup:

The only thing wrong that I can see with it is they've got the steering wheel on the wrong side! :hmm:

What are they thinking!

Man I learned to drive on roads like that. Reminds me of a buddy of mine, he had a 66 Chevelle that looked a lot like the one on the bottom of this picture.



He had a sweet little 327 in that thing. We have a road that looks like the picture you posted, it has over half a dozen turns like that and others of various degrees. My bud tore up that baby burning rubber all the way! All controlled slides, guys in little skateboards like porches and MGs would couldn't keep up with him. They could go around some of the turns a little faster than he (if they were going down hill but not by very much) but they didn't have the gutts to make up speed in the few straights on that road like he could.

You should have seen him run that beast in a slolum course!

holy crap!

damn, if something like that went into production here in the states, I may have to forget all my future car plans and buy one brand new.

The Mustang, Beetle, HHR all those are nice throw backs to the 60's and stuff...... but the 40's? omg...... that is one sweet car!

imagine if Cadillac came to their senses and remade the '59? I mean, nothing will ever be better then a real '59 Caddy... but what if.....
