NZV8 #224

Nov/Dec 2024

Sitting pretty in red on the cover is Russ McIntyre’s Street, Strip, and Show-ready ’55 Chev Sports Coupe — an absolute stunner! Following close behind is a Holden vs Ford battle, featuring Adam Wilson’s VK Commodore, crisp in white with an interior to die for, and Alan Messenger’s XY Falcon with 572 cubic inches of big-block power and a ProCharger under the hood. We’ve also got a collection inspired by iconic American movie cars — another impressive lineup. And last but not least, a T-Bucket that’s over 60 years old and still with its original owner! On the event's side of things, we headed back to North Canterbury’s famous Rust ‘N’ Dust, which had a fantastic turnout. We also hit the Father’s Day Drags, where some of the quickest streeters tore up the quarter mile. This issue’s got all your favourites, including Straight Talk, Church of Speed, Burnout Files, Fabrication Series, Readers’ Rides, and more. Something new for NZV8 is our latest Facebook group, All Torque — a growing community all about V8s and good yarns. If you want to see more of what NZV8 gets up to, and share some of the things you’re interested in, look it up on Facebook — we’ll catch you there.
