Sandown 87 # 6 VK/VL then ended up in WA and came back to melbourne many years ago sporting a Pink and Black paint scheme and Walkinshaw body kit and is owned by the same person as the Rothmans VL and awaiting resto, i was led to believe that this was Chassis # 13.
I also remember that at the Jagparts auction in the early 90's that there was a VK shell sitting outside with a very bent front end did have the distinctive HDT roll cage design and as i can personally account for the whereabouts of the majority of the HDT customer Built cars and shells it would possibly make sence that it may have been the Brock/Moffat shell.

In '85 didn't Gerald Kay (of Jagparts fame) order a customer VK from HDT??? At the time there were many grumbles as all the paying customers coudn't get a hold of the 5 speed Getrag 'boxes (homologated with the 4.9 litre - less min. weight) & had to use the earlier spec 4 speed (homologated with 5.0 litre, therefore over the 4999cc weight limit)
Also, wasn't the French/Grant '85 car, (became the '86 Dulux car) HDT built?
