GTV27 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Sounds like you are lucky to have the VSCC (and the lovely cars). The backbone of historic racing in Australia would be the 60's and 70's touring cars, alhtough more and more openwheelers and sports cars seem to be emerging.

The historic category dates vary with the class of cars:

Sports and racing cars can now be categorised as historic up to 1987.
Production sports cars up to 1977.
Touring cars up to 1972 (I think?).

These dates change as time progresses. Except for the pure racing cars, 30 years old seems to be the point at which just plain old becomes historic. Of course, with a proper racing car, they can be just plain old after 1 year, so hence the lessor threshold.
