Nice forward vision , but I'm not sure about the side vision ...
Maybe a bit of a blind spot there !
Unless you drive with the door open of course !  :laugh:

Fraser Island 1989. If you look closer the car actually has number plates. I'm not saying it was roadworthy or even registered, but it did go on the barge back to the main land.

Whoa! Now that is a beast. Trying to pic the origin of the nose/cabin part, I'm getting EH, HK, or XP Falcon. Who knows what the rest is... I think the overall design is actually pretty interesting and would be fantastic for Fraser with all that unimpeded viewing.

Good Guess Squalo. From memory it, it was a Falcon and still a rear wheel drive. It certainly got a lot of attention.
