A picture of the "Green Lizard"

"Torana Designer, Phil Zmood did the "Monza" fronted LH. He nick named it "The Green Lizard" cause he likes Green. Was to be a GM Rotary powered show car but when the GM Rotary engine was scrapped so was the show car." (sloper35)

is probably a clay model (note axle stands). It is either one of the first LH designs (as hatches were first dreamed up then but not built) or a later LX trial.

I thought Green Lizard was a sedan, so who has a mag article showing this as Green Lizard?

I actually think this one is kinda cool. They could have done a bit more about the head lights tho.

That's the Recaro car with the shortened rear. The front is Arcadipane and the headlights are what were used when you put any of their fronts on, including onto Falcons (MAd Max etc)
A half dozen of those (carrs w/ glas nosecones) at a car show would look awesome.

although i dont like the front i think it would be great for someone building a sports sedan to put huge offset wheels on
