Holden SS Torana 5.0 Vs Holden HX GTS 5.0  vs Ford Falcon GXL 5.8 vs Chrysler Charger 4.3

I like reading old mags where my car wins the day! I especially like it when my car beats the pants off Holden V8's with their pathetic handling before Radial Tuned Suspension (RTS). So there I am enjoying a good old fashioned shoot -em up when I discover that nearly 30 years ago some Holden fan has cut all the Holden pics from the very article I wanted to read! Arrrrgh! Check out page 5 and 6 - the pics of the Holden have been cut out with a knife. So if anyone has this mag and can send me a good pic or scan of the missing pages I'll be gratefull.

" Test crew set up the radar on a nearly deserted stretch of outback road. Those few motorists who did come along had a nasty moment."

The above quote is from the article! There is no way that this sort of thing would be done or published nowadays. Things have changed since the '70s.
