No way. Ok I'm not sure if it's an Aussie racer but it's not a full size car.
I was looking up at it yesterday. I laughed at the botch job of making the headlights look more Commodore and the Holden badge.

Ok I was wrong. Still really don't think it was a proper car. Honestly did not look full sized. Googling is no help.

If we're talking about the yellow drag car, it's a mustang.

like this one




I think some of the confusion here is that they still seem to be talking about the bundy AU with the HSV sticker.

Spot on, it's an ugly duckling Fox body Mustang from the 1980s-early '90s. They look like an early '80s UK Escort.
