At the Muscle Car Masters 2009 from Eastern Creek, Central Muscle Cars show the Aussies how to put on a show, but it all ends with carnage and some damaged machinery. The 3 main classes are Group NC (1965-1972), Group C (from 1973-1984) and Group A (1985-1992) – all genuine racecars from those eras, driven by Jim Richards, John Bowe, Glenn Seton and other Aussie legends. There are plenty of pristine muscle cars to drool over – Holden Commodore, HQ and Torana, Ford Falcon and Mustang, AMC Javelin, Chevy Nova.
