Dunno if the latest Australian Muscle Car is out yet in NZ (Issue 30), but 1970's saloon fans need to check it out for two reasons:- a profile on Kenny Barlow who raced stockcars and saloons in NZ back then, and also a fabulous colour pic of the coolest Mustang saloon ever - the McConnachie brothers car from Auckland. Fantastic!

The magazine went on sale in NZ this week. Great article on Kenny Barlow and an awesome colour photo of the McConnachie 3A Mustang. There was also a great article in the sister publication Australian Motor Racing a couple of years ago on Kenny and his first trip to NZ as a member of the Australian stockcar team to Palmerston North. Hey Tim, found any stockcars in Sydney yet?  |
