The photographs are the best part of this new magazine. I'm real excited as my car features in two of the photos - page 13 and page 25. Does anybody know how many SS 5000s were built with factory a/c and a four speed?

After all thehype surrounding this magazine, I thought it would have been a lot better than it is. The stats facts and figures are just a joke. The musclecar article on these cars was heaps better but at least the pictures make up for it.

I wonder what the redhead with the Mint Julep SS looks like today? How rare are the left hand drive cars on page 11? Papaya takes the cake in terms of colour in LX.

Worth $9.40 for the two photos of my car but overpriced for anything else.

you are not wrong LXSS5000.

You might be able to get copies of those photos from GM-H if you request them through their public relations department. As they hold the copyright to the image.

That way you could blow up the broadcast sheet on the windscreen, unless you already have

Hi Warren,

Thank you for joining in. In regards to the photographs, is it possible for a contact direct from you as your magazine has obviously already gone through this process?

No, I dont have a copy of the broadcast for this car or my two Monaros

Hi Warren,

Sorry to harp on this, but was the material you wrote edited by any chance? I have read the A9X magazine yet again and still can't make head nor tail of it. It doesn't go anywhere and if it had been edited for whatever reason then that may e

Yes it was "chopped up" a little, but as I said it was not to be a special edition when I wrote it.

Also since then some more info has come to light, which contradicts both the Muscle car and my article.

Both claim that thy started production on the

Yes and I have seen cars with VINs lower than others yet their compliance date is later. A good example is the HZ disc brake issue. The first Holden with discs was the A9X. No the first was an HZ built in July 1977, but compliiance in 10/77.

I said the

what do you guys know about the A9X hatch owned by Ron Amour (auto sports engineering, WA, raced at Wanneroo) in the mid nineties with factory (skunkworks?) aluminium front panels? (guards/bonnet and possibly doors) where is this car now?
