Chevron do a lot of books and DVDs. You can probably purchase from their website.

I wonder why the author stopped at 2003? Monaro didn't stop production until about 2006-ish.

That red A9X on the cover looks very familiar.

Yeah, it does make you wonder why this strange 35 year time span.

 

I would have thought that 40 years (from 1968 to 2008) would've been neater. There were plenty of good performance Holdens built after 2003.

I agree Terry. I get why you'd stop at VZ end but 2003 makes no sense.

I had no idea that book was around, or that my car was on the cover. So do I get royalties?

Yep, flares are over done. I wouldn't fit a set to a car

This maybe a silly question, but how do you pick it as your car? (REDA9X) no disrespect intended!
