How kewl would this be....
Barn find,Shed find, 48-215 FX Holden sedan and Ute locked in a shed for over 30 years. Part 1.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42D4rj8kB9Y
First true Australian car ever made was the 48-215 (FX) Holden. This sedan and utility were locked in a shed in Murray Bridge, South Australia for over 30 years.
The sedan was last driven in 1990 and the utility was last driven in 1987. They had been left locked away under car covers and blankets

1200Hp CHEVY CAMARO 67´ Pikes Peak Special || LS7 Turbo ONBOARD

This is the brutal Chevrolet Camaro 67´ owned and prepared by Mike DuSold of DuSold Designs,and while incredibly still road legal, here taken to a 1200+Hp Pikes Peak ready extreme!!
Powered by state-of-the-art LS7 engine unit in Turbocharged form and sporting a Rocket Anti-Lag system, it can produce up to almost 1500Hp but is here taken to a more manageable 1200Hp (!!!) to withstand the tricky bits of the legendary Mountain located in Colorado Springs. While still a bit heavy at 1450Kg, it certainly makes up for it with raw power and a quite impressive aerodynamic package. Looking for a sub-9 minutes run under ideal conditions, during the 2022 edition we already saw it placing among the 15 fastest Monsters on the Pikes Peak under some horrendous conditions as can be seen on the clip.
