Hi there mates, my name is Stuart Lane. I have been around and loved cars since age 13, helping my father restore his 1956 Chevy Canadian for 7 years and keeping his XW Fairmont on the road for 20 years. I recently completed restoring my Valiant Charger. I have rebuilt Ford V8's, Holden 6's and Chrysler 6's. As an engineer, if you can't get something then you make it!
I was looking for vintage racing jackets that fitted in the 1960's and 1970's Muscle Car scene but they were American ones which there is nothing wrong with but did not fit in with the Australian Muscle carsfor example Ford Falcon GT's, Holden Monaro's or the Valiant Chargers.
With these racing jackets brings my mind back to 1960's and 1970's when Allen Moffat racing for Ford with the Falcon GT with those mighty 351ci V8's and Peter Brock for Holden with 6 cylinder GTR-XU1 Toranas and the big battle that raged between these two factory race teams along with the E-49 Valiant Chargers with Leo Geoghegan and how the factory race teams where sponsered by Castrol, Shell, Champion, Firestone and STP.
With the Aussie patches we have researched old historic movies of the Bathurst the big race or magazine articles to get as close as possible to what the factory teams used for their jackets. We have found Ford Superoo, Holden and Valiant Charger Six Pack along with many others.
With the Aussie Muscle Car scene today the movement is growing stronger every day more oplder cars are being rebuilt or coming out of the woodwork and people are very proud of their machines and showing them.
I will touring around the Victoria car shows in my Panther Pink, Valiant Charger so you can come and see these cool racing jackets in the flesh.
These are my contact details, and I am always happy to here from fellow enthusiasts:
