These cars have won hundreds of trophies all over Australia including Summernats Top Judged and Grand Champion. Howard helped the Perry’s win Grand Master in 2017 and BOSSXC was a superstars Super Six winner 2023 and 2024 and Summernats people’s Choice winner.
The Van will be a restomod style build with an old school 351 Cleveland, single rail 4 speed and BW disc bake rear.
The Van was a country car from Nyngan NSW and was delivered with air-conditioning, power steering and rear lift gate. Howard Bought the car at auction in Sydney, it has a genuine 52K on the clock and had been parked outside under a tarp for over 20 years.
The series will follow the restoration and modification over the van in detail as it happens.
