Two of my favourite cars of all time - so low, fast and cool.
If I was a lotto winner I'd be ordering two of PK, and making sure the roll cages were just as low!
were they both chevvy 6 motors?
and what fuel did they use, they used to throw the best flames.
hotrods I reckon

The orange/green 26s car was sold to Daryl 'Fatty' Peterson in Nelson and ran under the United Video colours, green and pink NCL Innerspace colours and another paint job of purple and grey before Fatty settled on the tried and true green. Numbers used were 68n for normal racing and 85n for teams racing.
After blowing the Chev6 a Chev v8 was put in, this time off set. Coil overs were added, different seat etc and Fatty used the car well, especially in teams racing (Vipers and the winnings Tigers team from 2000).
The chassis sustained some damage in the hands of Mark Ewers in Kaikoura around about 2002 and was eventually sold to (I think) Shaun Pearson who wanted the diff.
From there I'm not sure but it turned up in Palmy one meeting when we were there with a W on the side.
Pretty sure 76s and 26s are the same chassis.
Hope that helps.
