PROUD OWNERS HAD PREENED THEIR CARS SIMPLY FOR THE LOVE OF

IT; THERE WAS NO REWARD EXCEPT TO HAVE THEM ADMIRED

A

‘Doogie’ Howson’s tough HK Monaro GTS

started life as a stocker 186, with a banjo,

hubcaps and whitewall tyres. Doogie

cruised it like that for six years, but it

just wasn’t fast enough. “I put in a 307,

Powerglide and 9in, then changed it to a

377 that ran an 11.2@122mph,” he said.

“It’s got a different 307 in it now, running

Edelbrock heads and a 750cfm Quick Fuel

double-pumper”
