Lucky’s sweet truck hides
something with a bit more
punch than the original 352- a 428 Cobra Jet with ported
heads, decent cam and a
ridgy-didge Holman Moody
intake. The 428 sends power
through a C6 to a built Dana
60 with a Grizzly locker,
custom axles and floating
hubs. It’s normally used to
ferry dirt bikes around, but at
the AFD it was the gathering
point (and seating) for
Lucky’s friends and family

Jason’s XB coupe sports a
rare mod – it’s a targa-top.
The rear windows have
been replaced with steelpanels, the roof was braced
and the chassis has been
reinforced with box tubing.
The original owner had it
done professionally in the
mid-80s, and Jason took it
off his hands six years ago.
Running gear is standard
GT stuff, and the bright red
paint is nicely balanced by a
set of fat hotwires~ E ~
We featured Alex
Moshopoulos’s ballistic
Quicksilver XY in the
February 2018 edition of SM.
The beast’s neat exterior
is hard at work trying to
disguise the ’cage and
enough boosted 411 Windsor
to run well into the 8s!~ A ~
Matt Dietrich’s recently completed Moby Dick
’65 F100 adorned the Big L’s Chop Shop stand.
The chassis magic was done by Leon Davies at
Big L’s, and includes a Jag front end, four-link
rear and airbags all ’round. The engine is a
stock 302 Cleveland, backed by a C4 trans and
Geelong Differentials 9in~ B ~
After a six-year restoration, Jayden Mizzi’s
immaculate ’84 XE ESP was awarded Best
Overall Ford at the AFD. The car is in concours
condition, right down to the 30-year-old Uniroyal
Wildcat tyres that he managed to dig up for itCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
