Regardless, it was a product stuck on a Holden.

But point taken.

I still don't like VLs. Exterior is ok, but interiors are not to my liking.

the people who originally made the brock kits are in coburg melb. They still make them to for $1500. Saw a brock car earlier this week with muzza niko on the side window......lol. But in the future im getting the brock kit for my car, so its all not that funny. There pretty good looking cars by the way.

EDIT: Moffat HO maybe?

Sooo many grey spec EA's were made, its confusing.

Looks more like and EBGT. It's got the flares, clear indicators, ghia front seats... Possibly an AMHO...

I saw an EA on the weekend that was silver, had orange strip trim around it, Brock sitckers and a Brock-related rego plate. Is the orange strip a modification by the owner?

By strip I mean wheer the chrome strips go on Ghias and red strips on older XRs.

The polariser was meant to "polarise" the fuel, somehow aligning the molecules so that they burned more evenly and quicker. It's a pity that hydrocarbons aren't polar :P

xbgs351 · 30-10-2006, 02:08 PM

There were also Brock Fairlanes.

SVT8 · 30-10-2006, 02:25 PM

Whoops, we broke it, hehe. Probably all of us having a peek. Saw it a couple of years ago. Nice cars.

Mikey25 · 30-11-2006, 11:33 AM

Brock not only made a modified EA falcon, but also modified NA fairlanes and even a modified Maverick, yes it's true

AND a LADA Samara!!!

Mikey25 · 30-11-2006, 11:37 AM

This was during the time of the 'energy polirizer' fight with GM, when Brock also drove a Ford Sierra..... yes even the king saw the light, even if it was short lived

Dauphin · 30-11-2006, 11:37 AM

A quick Google search turned up the following Brock Fairlane:

The wheels look different.

Edit: But the wheels are the same as the Brock Falcons.

Look at the poor fit of the front bar!!!

I cant believe this one didnt meet reserve on ebay!!!

BEHOLD!

The might Lada Samara..... Brock Special!

Be sure to take note of the "Brock Quality Controled Approved" tag. Exactly what you'd expect from a luxurious russian budget vehicle.

And check out the decal work! That screams "australian" louder than a tonne of vegemite.

OED666 · 30-11-2006, 11:58 AM

ROFL... the lada brock special...

EA2BA · 30-11-2006, 12:01 PM

Not all Brock's got plated/badged either, only the fully converted ones, some coped a few mods and a name only.

Chrispy · 30-11-2006, 01:41 PM

Holden said installing the poleriser is fine, but we have the following questions.
How do we warrantee the thing?
If a customer believes it doesn't work how do we know it doesn't?
How do we test it?
Mr Brock, we are waiting for your answer!

Interesting Brocks fitted with polarisers are worth significantly more today than (holden) ones fitted without polarisers.

I remember those Brock Falcons, the most distiguishing feature was the wheels.
Did he colaborate with Mick Webb in producing them?
