Wow! This is a surprise! Thanks for featuring my video on your channel! I appreciate it! Apologies to the Chrysler fans and all viewers for calling out that Leyland P76 as a Chrysler. My English teacher back in high school had one and I did know this car. But I must admit, having been away from Australia for 20 years has jolted my memory with some model cars and for some reason, as I saw this car, I immediately thought Chrysler. Thankfully I have awesome viewers in the know with their great feedback that correct me and this helps me to get better at identifying. Tomorrow 29 December, at roughly 1.30pm Australian Eastern time, I'll be posting a walkaround video on my channel of these same cars and more cars Aus, US, Euro, JDM, Rotaries, etc, that were in the parking lot at Greenway, Wetherill Park. So for those interested you can get a closer look at them. Once again a massive thank you Ian (IWrocker) for featuring my video on your channel! I highly appreciate it buddy! Keep up the great work! All the best with the growth of your channel! And I wish you and all the viewers a Happy New Year!! Cheers, George.

[@kevinneeder661]

In nsw we now have “international” style plates, so we have the American style ones on the 57 chev and we also have Japanese, European and a few others as well Also where this was filmed is 5 mins down the road from where I grew up

[@bekar_au]

On top of the local (plain as well as a number of designs) and Euro plates that all states do, the eastern states (Tas, Vic, NSW and QLD) also do US, Japanese styling as well. The territories however do not do any of the special designs (that I could find at least).

[@davidrayner9832]

I worked with an American motor head (petrol head) from Virginia and we spoke about cars often. He said that when he was younger and still in VA, he and his buddies (mates) honestly believed that the US was the only country in the world to have a car culture and more specifically, a muscle car industry. He met an Australian girl (sheila) in the US and they decided they'd live in Australia because of our wages and holidays. If they lived here, he could go home to see his family but if they lived in the US, she would never see her family. Anyway, when he arrived here he saw Falcons, Monaros, Toranas, Chargers, etc. and couldn't believe his eyes. He wrote to his friends at home, telling them that the US doesn't have a monopoly on muscle cars. As an aside, there are more hot rods in Australia per head of population than in the US.

[@stewfletcher9854]

Great story Man!!!

[@paxhumana2015]

You'd be pleasantly surprised that Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Russia, Sweden, Norway, Finland, the UK, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, and, surprisingly, Japan, all have muscle car fans as well. Also, South Africa, Germany, the UK, Argentina, Brazil, and Canada all have their own unique muscle car entries as well. Moreover, a lot of people do LS swaps on the Chevrolet (Brazil) Opala SS.

Nice to see that Leyland P76 go past (the guy called it a Chrysler). Ian, you missed a nice Torana Hatchback prior to those 2 sedans, and the car when you asked for some help was a Torana sedan, LH I think, but no rear spoiler. In NSW you can option a personalised plate in US or Japanese styles

[@grumpycarlsworld]

"Some sort of ute" at 5.40 is a 1966/67 HR Holden. 9:17 "cool color" is a 1959-1960 FB Holden, 9:20 is most definitely a US Dodge Charger. It wears about 50 square feet more sheet metal than our Aussie Charger. The last one, white sedan turning left, was a 1976-77 CL Valiant. Almost identical to the last model Valiant built here, the CM built from 1978-81.

[@williamhardes8081]

only 50 square feet. i was chatting to a mate about it and he recons there would be enough difference between the Aussie and the US charger that enough steel left over to build another Aussie charger. lol.

[@djfrogsak]

5:40 *HD Ute*

[@stevegraham3817]

The ESP was the deluxe version of Dicks Greens Tuff XE Falcon, Scheel seats, fancy wheels, not the ones in the video, two tone paint, sports steering wheel, and I think they may have had a suspension upgrade as well. ESP was supposed to be modern equivalent of a GT but had no real performance mods, mainly just cosmetics. Grey car with all the plastic spoiler bits was a Walkinshaw VL Commodore, he took over where Brock and HDT left off. Blue Group A SS was a Peter Brock special. Next blue car with the big gold wheels was an RX3. Black car with the power was a Valiant Charger, that's why you liked it. lol. Blue 2 Door Torana, just before the white 4 door. Yes, US Charger. Yellow LC/LJ Torana, Brock won Bathurst in an XU1 version that had triple carbies on the straight 6. Lime Green Leyland P76, 4.4L V8 and you could fit a 44/55 Gallon drum in the boot with a bail of hay. HD/HR 65/66 Holden with the blower. Was the beautiful car with the fins a Cadillac? Either a Datsun Roadster as raced by the other Pete Brock in the US, or an MG which the datsun was copied from. White Chrysler by Chrysler with L plates and no lights right at the end.

[@IWrocker]

Stellar comments thank you

[@JayJay-_]

Xd esp got suspension and steering, xe was like you said a Fairmont with scheel seats two tone and a pinstripe.. wheels were nearly like the Fairmont but machined flat and gold anodised.. xd also got red instrument lights, pinstripe, silver instrument cluster, globe wheels, scheel seats and sev marchal spotlights same as the Ferrari 340.. both had blacked out stainless Xd esp about 20minutes just after the 57 chev

[@JayJay-_]

Oh and the xa was one of the first Aussie fords to become popular in America.. yellow one just like that one in an Australian bananas ad back in the 70s, I'm fairly certain they took one over as part of the promotion

Cool.There's a nice wide variety of muscle in that lot. The Charger wasn't an Australian model but I did see a Leyland P76. I learnt to drive in the back streets of Townsville in my parents FB Holden - had three on the column and NO synchromesh in first. Funnily enough one of the first cars I owned was a XA 4door with three on the column but it DID have the luxury of synchromesh in first. :) Cheers.

[@anthonyt9183]

Love the video, lol, I’m an Aussie watching an American watching Aussie car videos. Yep our NSW plates are typically that size with 6 letters/numbers but usually black letters on yellow background but nowadays there are many Colour options. I worked with an old fella who waited years for one of them new Monaro’s and bought when 1st released, loved it, driven once a month, he had to hide keys from his adult son when on holidays, while drunk the son found keys, reversed out driveway straight into car across road, broke his dads heart. Can you still get Pontiac GTO’s in US? The new Holden Monaro was only available for a short time. I love the old Walkinshaw Commodore.

11:44 is a 1973/74 Leyland P76. Build by Leyland Australia. Only 18,000 produced, the popular ones have the 4.4ltr all aluminium V8 based on the Buick and rover V8's.

[@johnd8892]

Another thing about the P76 at 11:45 is that while even now some people are still repeating the Lemon propaganda , it was so good that it led an international very testing marathon rally through Europe and North Africa . Some of the story here : kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWGXpXuGhcufrM0 Much more of an Australian design than the first Holden, Falcon or Valiant. Even more recently a P76 won the Peking to Paris long distance Rally for classic cars several times to show it was not a fluke. Up against Porsches, Mercedes, BMW and numerous other more expensive cars. Some coverage : kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJjcdWCrid2crdE Not bad for an 87 year old driver. Most 87 year Olds struggle to keep driving let alone be part of a team winning a Peking to Paris rally several times in a so called lemon car.

The year before Mad Max's. Always good looking, but these days rare and expensive. 11:50 The Leyland P76 is an interesting Aussie car, might be worth looking into - it had a promising future but got canned before real production began.

At 9:25 it was a US market Charger and those Falcon Coupes are worth absolute blood money here, crazy prices.

People can pay for personalised plates, can choose from certain designs from American to Japanese plates for a fee. If the combination of letters and numbers you want are also available you can choose that too.

That yellow car at 11.45 that he said was a Chrysler , was that a Leyland P76 ? Leyland in Australia , now thats a whole story on its own

[@Techbitznpcs]

the green odd looking car @ 11:45 is a leyland P76, avaliable back in the early 70's with an inline six or a 4.4 ltr V8

[@frustratedfriar9632]

What the heck is a "Mopar"? And that yellow & black ford is an XB , possibly XC, Falcon with most likely the 351c.i. motor. In my youth I had the 4 door version. Emerald green with gold metal flecks, bone vinyl roof, 4 on the floor , and an early version of air conditioner! Sweet ride and bloody fast. Had Dunlop Wildcats on it and it stuck to the road like rare earth magnets to steel. God I wish I had kept it.

The Ute at the 5.39 mark was an HD Holden from 1965

The G8 is a Holden Commodore SS equivalent. The G8 GXP is an VE HSV GTS/R8 equivalent, they are based on the Opel Omega chassis (EU) which is also from the VY/etc Holdens of the 90s. It's hilarious seeing Holden doors and body on cars in the middle of rural Germany where many were used (Opel). The GM Alpha platform (Camaro Gen 5) is based off the VE/Opel Omega evolution. I have completely dismantled a later HSV GTS and have the Opel Omega/VE service manual (covers US and AU variations), lot of the parts in the HSVs are (as you'd expect) are stock Commodore parts but with added upholstery insert or different cloth or plastic coatings. You can see the original Commodore part numbers on them with HSV part # stickers added often. If they make enough of them it has an HSV part in the plastic mold. Also you'll see the VE HSVs have different rear lights to the Commodores, it's the one part the guys who change body kits don't copy, because they are 1-2k just for the lights and at that point they may as well just look at buying a damn HSV lol.

Stop with the Opal crap , that platform was fully designed in Australia and exported to other countries, do some real research , spewing old wives tales you heard someone else say is not reality, the platform was a Billion Dollar Australian design ! That's why it was called the " Billion Dollar Baby " when it came out , Australian Holden got the funding for the platform from GM US . At grate expense . All the variants of the Commadore exported to the rest of the world including all the models listed were made in Australia, even the Statesman long wheel base that was exported to the US as PPV or Police Pursuit Vehicle were made in Australia..the G8 made in Australia, South African Chevy Malibu, made in Australia, Vauxhall R8 in England made in Australia.

[@adambennett1193]
