He's never been a world champion.

Those belts mean nothing.

Handy boxer but hardly near the elite.

I'd say even Horne better and he was no where near world class either.

Waiting for Anthony Mundine to chime into this thread to **** talk his car

MercuryT · 02-09-2021, 07:32 PM

Mundine was a better boxer than Green.

(isn't saying much i know)

MITCHAY · 02-09-2021, 07:40 PM

I thought the car was the important part

Tonz · 02-09-2021, 08:15 PM

and why buy a car with someone else knob logo all over it.... that wouldnt relate to yourself

FG50T · 02-09-2021, 08:19 PM

Very unique! VX Commodore seats in a XB GT...laugh emogi

**73 4V XB** · 02-09-2021, 08:23 PM

You’d think a motoring site would recognise the difference between a Fairmont and a GT

To young to know, I'd reckon.

Rob 351 · 03-09-2021, 07:23 AM

What were they thinking with those taillights!

xb74_black · 03-09-2021, 03:12 PM

Aside from changing the shifter and that dash out, I really like this car. Those seats look a lot more comfortable and supportive than the standard ones. Tail lights are.... different.

Curious to know how much it goes for.

Agreed. Cringe worthy.

MITCHAY · 03-09-2021, 10:10 PM

I do have a question. Whats the difference between a big block and small block. What is the cross over so to speak

Bore spacing.
Someone will chime in, but I think above 4” is big block.

meh

Its a big block coupe, and if you picked it up for the right $$$ it wouldnt take much to throw a less boxing glovey interior at it.

Bore spacing and deck height?? something like that and that cranks up the physical size of them.

Some of you lot are carrying on like pork chops.

People personalise their cars all the time, and guess what? Sometimes they sell them.

It’s not hard to change…

anyone would think it was permanent.
Because (person aside) built the car to suit themselves, not folks bickering on an internet forum.
Easy fix.
Buy car.
Make it ya own (removing what you don't like)
Jobs a gooden, simples.

**DJR-351** · 04-09-2021, 05:23 PM

The beauty of this car is all the hard work is done, get it at the right price and a quick makeover to suit yourself will be a piece of pizz.....

Franco Cozzo · 04-09-2021, 05:31 PM

If I bought it, I'd do the following:

- Original or similar look for the tail lights
- Remove green dash surrounds
- Haltech IC-7 dash cluster
- Remove boxing tributes
- Remove bonnet scoop
- Ford 7.3L OHV conversion + 10 speed auto

The rest of it is mint, its like picking up a 95% finished project you just need to do the finishing touches to/some personalisations.

Might keep the green theme but put some ethnic touches in it, baroque style chairs but on rails so they move back/forward like a normal car seat

Well not exactly, bore spacing of a small block ford is bigger than 4".

Small block Ford 4.38"

Small block Chevy 4.40"

Small block Mopar 4.46"

If we consider just the big 3, id say a big block starts at 4.80" bore space, which is the chrysler/dodge big blocks and hemis.

Out of the big 3, the mopar/chrysler big block is the smallest big block, with a 4.80" bore space. Big chevy is 4.84" and Ford is the largest with 4.9"

The problem with this car is the personalisation will cost a decent wedge to unwind. Say you’re lucky enough to score it for 150$, there’s probably another 50$ in interior and body rectification.

And then you have a Fairmont coupe that owes you 200$...

MercuryT · 12-09-2021, 04:25 PM

Jeez I'm keeping you mods on your toes!

I've decided I really like the car.

Interesting to see what it sells for......

Currently sitting at 190$ with 2 days to go

That’s just silly. Maybe the bidder is a sports buff?

I doubt anyone will remember who Danny Green was 20 years from now though.

There will be 2 types of people who remember, those who own them and those who want them.
