Please, p l e a s e ,  P L E A S E   let this amazing 1970s Ford Capri GT be the vehicle that breaks the current classic car drought in Hobart!  Not only was it one of the very best examples that I've seen since pre-C-word days (that other C-word!), it was absolutely perfect, especially for a boy from the 1970s who adored performance-orientated Fords. I have grown up fractionally since then and now also appreciate GMHs and Chyslers of the era.  However, I'd argue that the Capri has one up on Holden's six-cylinder equivalent of the time, the mighty Torana, because the former was purely designed as a sports car whereas the latter was also available in four-door guise.  The Valiant Charger, whilst also strictly a coupe, was really a derivative of the sedan, wagon, ute and van versions of the Ranger / Regal line-up, so they don’t quite have the same cachet, either.   It's a bit vulgar to think of a car in terms of what's been spent on it but, in my defence, I'm rea

This exquisite Porsche RSR tribute was custom-made by the eponymous Jeff - of Aussie YouTube channel Home Built By Jeff - and is based on a 1974 911S.  We'll get to Jeff, his excellent channel and the other  brilliant  cars that he's hand-crafted in a minute but, before we do, I want to explore a few other car-related YouTube channels that are also well worth a look.    Fanatik Builds: I'd really, really like to be able to rate this Canadian-based channel higher but the presenter annoys me.  He's a bit of a smart*rse but can't quite carry it off.  There's zero doubt that he's clever, the resto-modding he does with his father on their LS-swapped Triumph GT6 is amazing and it's quite a well-produced show.  Try watching a few eps; you might be more tolerant than I am and, as I've alluded to, the project itself is a proper engineering feat.  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCohnAc8nMdYZImxsCLyz5gg .
