There's something to be said for Australian muscle cars, particularly by the time the 70s rolled around and local designers gained more control over the vehicle styling. There's nothing quite like the XA/XB/XC coupes - really unique in their scale and presence. The closest thing in the US would be an AMC AMX, but it's not quite on the same scale. This Fairmont GS was advertised on Grays auctions...

Advertised on Facebook as well as through ww.ironcitygarage.com, this is another great 'barn find' of the rare Hudson Hollywood Hardtop. This time, it's finished in a relatively vanilla white paint (with beige? side stripe). Certainly one of the less flashy Hollywoods around (although I do love the contrasting Blue trim). Being a 56, it likely had the Packard 320ci V8 engine. At the time, the car...

The grave of the unknown 180B. This one is sadly not repairable, so we'll add it for the sake of preserving its memory, and demonstrating how bad rust can get on these 180Bs.. Sad to see a complete car be parted out, but this example is likely headed that way, advertised on facebook Matketplace in December 2022 asking $3,000. We've got a lot of 180B SSS coupes on the register now - see the Datsun...

Vary rare - last saw one of these in 2019 down at the Ballarat Swap meet! Never been a fan of the name "Sundowner", buy we have to live with it. A very cool edition which was available across a couple of falcon generations, as well as with the Ford escort van in Australia. They were available in a number of colours, but Yellow would have to be the stand out choice. There are estimates that there...

The first Barn-find Hollywood Hardtop I've on the register - finished in a lovely blue and white two tone. Would make a great restoration project, and looks very complete. This one was asking just $2,500 at the time it was offered through a Facebook group. The seller at the time was unsure of the mileage, but had the title to go with the car. The car came with spare panels to repair some rust...

Another Blue Meanie for the register - this one advertised via a dealer in Victoria and asking $440,000 at the time of offering. Wow, things have changes since we last reported on a VK Group A SS in 2016 (where one in WA was asking $75,000).. The VK SS Group A is certainly my favourite of the VKs - the bodykit is limited to the front air dam and the rear spoiler - meaning the rest of the car's...

The images of this Hollywood Hardtop were originally from a Mecum Auction - not sure what price this sold for, but looks in immaculate condition (Check out the images of the undercarriage). As the sellers noted: the Hollywood Hardtop is now an exceedingly rare find, especially one that has been rotisserie restored to such incredible condition. Only 483 Hollywoods were supposedly built in 57, a few...

While we are at it, let's get another Hollywood Hardtop on the register. This one was advertised through https://www.schmitt.com/, and is finished in Frost White over a Sierra Peach and Cinnamon Bronze. At the time of offering, the car was noted to have just 38,868 miles, and is one of very few fitted with factory air conditioning. Other options include power steering and power brakes. This is the...

Just the second Hollywood Hardtop added here on Classic Register, and a great colour combination! This example was advertised through Gateway Classic Cars originally, and at the time was asking $90,000 USD. It is one of just 1,640 from the 1956 year. This car is particularly special having a factory Packard sourced V8 (making it a "super" Hollyood Hardtop),and produces a factory 206bhp. When you...

We've got a few old 7s on the register now, but these Ulsters rarely come up (although, this is a replica, not a genuine Ulster) so we thought it a good idea to get this interesting example onto our list. The Ulsters are a two seater roadster version of the Austin 7, and did particularly well in racing back in the late 20s / early 30s. They weren't quite as good looking as the Australian bodied...
