You say Longchamp: I say Maserati Kyalami, the Longchamp's public school-taught brother. Dig those Vitaloni Baby Tornado mirrors, my ones rusted And (one for the throwbacks ;D) when I saw the name Brute Force I though of this: OK, it was called 'What A Commotion', but the previous iteration was called Brute Force.

the monaro in the first pic looks like it has a front end of a statesman on it i'm guessing they did a version of the monaro with that front as you found others the same . I have always been a big fan of the aussie cars even owned a couple an EL tickford XR6 falcon and a VS commodore equip and did some work on this XA Falcon/fairmont coupe

I was interested in buying it at one stage was running rough and needed the headlights sorting out when it came to me. used to belong to a friend of mine he spent a lot of time and money on it but never got round to bringing it back for the paint work to be done as he also has a galaxy convertible that needed a full resto .

the monaro in the first pic looks like it has a front end of a statesman on it i'm guessing they did a version of the monaro with that front as you found others the same. The Monaro never came from the factory with the Deville nose. Some utes did but never the coupes. The HQ was the original, then the HJ was a facelift. The HX and HZ had a few changes but it was really the same car. They are all the same panel wise from the front wings and on. The WB was the last of the body styles. and only came in ute,van and long wheel base sedan, the Deville. There are over 10 different noses you can fit. Also the GTS models had vents in the front wings behind the wheels. The easiest way to see all of them is to get on wiki en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_HQen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_HJen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_HXen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_HZen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_WBHere is my mates HZ one toner with WB nose nice and low on some 13"s.
