The car was sold minus engine and box to another melbourne racer were engine and getrag were replaced before winding up in my garage in 2003 the car is still how it raced when Steve had the car except for the Original Engine and Getrag, drivers seat and steering wheel apart from that it is still the way it was.
As the car has a very limited history this is why i am trying to get as much info and Photo's from people as possible so that it makes my apllication for a Historic Certificate of Desciption a lot more detailed.
Any help would be fantastic.
Cheers

Just interested to know where you obtained your initial history regarding your Steve Williams car. I know Barry Graham (Speedway, and Nascar Champ) quite well, and assuming we are talking about the same Barry, he never owned a VK Commodore of any description to sell off!!!
Barry was always involved with the preparation and co driving of the Brian Callaghan owned Mobile Concrete Pumping VK and VL Walkinshaw Commodores, but he never owned any of them.
Also, I was always under the belief that Steve's car was made up of the spares parts from the late Mike Burgman Commodore team. I'm sure Steve could assist in its history???
