Victorian Hot Rod Show 2009

[Heinz]

For the 44th year the Victorian Hot Rod Show was held and once again in Melbourne at the Historic Exhibition Buildings. I attended again and took about 140 shots of the cars that caught my eye.

Very well attended from what I saw this year.

Started on the 23rd and finishes tomorrow on Australia Day.

Theres a few Aussie cars amongst the shots so if you're not sure what it is just let me know and I'll let you know

Also note the 6 cyl '57. Not a common sight these days.

Enjoy

Wow Mate! Very cool!

 

[Crunch]

Very nice, I used to be at all the shows within 100kms from me, but haven't been for some time. We have a few great ones up here and we're in the middle of show season now too.. Might have to check the calendar...

 

[GrauGeist]

Sweet rides!

Kinda crazy seeing a right-hand-drive Falcon...

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Very nice stuff Heinz. I use to work for Eddie's Rod Shop in Kingsport TN. We built a lot of frames. Model A's, 32s, 33s and 4s and so on.

 

[Wayne Little]

Sweet shots Alex...

 

[Heinz]

Cheers guys.


Very cool Aaron 8)

I really want to build a rat model A, failing that a nice Triumph Bonneville bobber would do nicely.

At the moment though I'm going to be playing with some Australian Muscle.

Here come some more...

Cheers.

 

[109ROAMING]

Lovin' them man! Gotta love the Classic's

 

[Heinz]

Cheers man, heres some more.

The 56 Chev was there last year but I man I love that boot. Also the last shot is of a 1972 LJ Holden Torana with a non standard 6.3 V8 (383 stroker)

Cheers

 

[Screaming Eagle]

Great pics mate! I hope you got some Ford and Mopar!

 

[Gnomey]

Good stuff!

 

[109ROAMING]

Awesome Torana!

 

[Lucky13]

Awesome shots mate!

 

[Heinz]

Cheers guys

Jason theres some ford stuff coming and a little mopar.

Some more Aussie muscle with a HK Monaro running a crate engine which I'm guessing to be a 572ci.

Also a rather evil XY GT Pursuit.

Who can't love the VW Bug?

Cheers.

 

[109ROAMING]

VW Bug is very cool

Also another nice view of the Torana

 

[Screaming Eagle]

Ooh nice! That Chevy crate motor is indeed a 572ci. 620hp straight from the box!

 

[Heinz]

Bitchin' engines from Eagles spares ey man?

Anyway heres some more. First up this immaculate HQ 1970 Holden Monaro flying the Aussie flag amongst the American muscle.

Next up a BIG 66 as the rego says, this is a beasty Galaxy 8)

Another sweet Falcon.


Finally this is a V 12 from the 60s extremely rare now. Only got one shot as there was a fair crowd around this baby.

 

[Wayne Little]

Cool shots man!

 

[109ROAMING]

Cool stuff Mate!
