During the 70's, it became quite common for larger dealers to release their own versions of factory cars. The most famous of these were the Mcleod Ford horn cars, with stripe work inspired by the Goss XA coupe...
Peter Warren ford also had some distinctive interiors fitted to some cars, and one dealer was responsible for a few Cortina Cobras... But, do these creations add value? Say, a genuine GT, with a dealer fitted interior. Would this bring down the value as its not a genuine matching numbers car, or would the semi-official offering add value due to the rarity of the option? Is this something that should happen more regularly today? I know suttons Holden are to blame for a heap of pov-pack commodores with big kits and tire packages... The local Hyundai dealer did "razor" packs on things like i30's, with decals, special interior trim and wheels...
