Standard on all SS I believe, possibly an option on other models

Ha Ha notice the lack of any OH&S gear..spraying with no mask, ear muffs etc

Love the 70's - OH&S wasn't that a recreational drug?

Flares for the cars Flares for the people

Yellow Torana has undercoat on left rear? Must have been damaged after paint as wonder why it would be assembled if paint not good enough.

Now that's interesting?

30 odd years ago I looked at a HK GTS 186S Monaro that was original owner with books.
I lifted the bonnet and pointed out signs of pink spray putty on the R/H front guard (barely visible but there)
Owner assured me it had never had a bingle?

Did GMH do repairs on the line?

In that era, people weren't as fussy as they are these days, it was a big thing to buy a brand new car & most wouldn't have picked any touch ups. Working for a GMH dealer, I repaired plenty of brand new cars with transport damage etc. I remember doing a full repaint on a brand spankers Sting red VX Clubsport because it came straight from GMH & HSV with paint defects all over. GMH would pay us around $4000 for a full repaint under internal warranty. In house we called it "policy rectification". From my understanding, if a new car is damaged & repaired, it is no longer classified as a "new" car & is supposed to be sold as used or demonstrator. If the dealers or parent companies stuck to this, they'd lose money, so I guess it is & probably was back then to, "better the devil you know".
