Sad all of these appear deceased :/ (HB could possibly be my car)

IR4991 was my first Avenger Rally car. It was a 73 TC and I did able 8-10 rallies in 78 & 79 including the NZ rally champs in 79 in Group 1.

I will find some pics and post soon.

In 1980 it was restored to back to a road car and sold, some years later I spotted it in a stack of car at the Silverstream tip...(way before Pick A Part started)

Joker, your cars shell was originally HB7405 when I first build it as a rally car in 1980, I upgraded it to a Chrysler (10 Series) in mid 1980 after damaging both sides on the Daybreaker and then got new plates JS8201

[JoKer]

AHH Awesome! We were hunting specifically for the early rego & thought it may have been the other HB above as there are not many GLS (Twin headlight) rally cars, bit of a peculiarity

Neither of those are active / found on Carjam

thus this list is here

Sorry for lack of pictures I think they are lost in the post, Warwick is going to bring them to me on a usb stick tomorrow

I think I still owe you the Crank case breather pipe too?

[NZTiger]

Its a bit like granddad axe.....

I got HB7405 late 79 and it was a 1600 Super with Rect headlights and Metallic SilverBlue (Mistral), after the 80 Daybreaker damage it was rebuilt as a Chrysler JS8201 and painted white with brown strips then at the end of the season I rolled it and then repainted it white with a blue side strip which it stayed until I did a major tidy up in 86, still white but with Talbot Sport colours red, dark blue, light blue and yellow strips and this is how it was when Trevor Weir bought it off me. I think it stayed this way while Trevor had it, he sold it and its next owner reshelled with the 4 headlight Alpine shell and it later returned to the Weirs and this is the shell that you have.

Re the breather pipe, yes I still want it and I have a GLS rear quarter panel moulding for you
