    Default Holden Hurricane

    Anybody in Oz got one of these?

    According to the article, there has only ever been one.

    Not exactly your common Commodore.

    IIRC the one and only prototype was built in 1969 but was recently rebuilt by Holden (I've got a whole heap of photos of the build somewhere).

    But if I'm thinking of the right car, apparently there were also spare body panels molded which somebody had tucked away in their shed?

    I've seen it! Back in 1969 when it was first displayed. I wanted one then, still want one now.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...
