NZV8 Latest Issue

NZV8 Latest Issue

In this month’s issue we have a jaw-dropping ’79 Chevrolet C10 pick-up cover car, it has a flawless interior and comes packing a 383ci small block Chevy engine. Other feature cars include a ultra-rare Buick GS and a unmissable Torana LX with a blown 406ci engine and a tough stance. We travel over the ditch to check out the Motorex 10 car show, and get down to Palmerston North for the big annual swap meet. We show you a brilliant home-built ’79 Camaro with a 550hp factory big-block engine and stick shift. We also get up close on a 2005 Ford GT endurance racer and see just what makes it so special. We also have a special article giving advice on how to modify your ride to really stand out from the crowd.
