These are replicas of the Holden Commodore Pace Cars from the 2000 and 2001 F1 Australian Grand Prix.

Seems like yesterday I bought these, but heck, it's been over 10 years! :wacko:

Support your local demo derby.

I'm a sucker for any stock casting with 5 spokes so I like the 1st one the best of the two. Looks like they painted the b-Pillar on the blue one which highlights the profile a bit better.

I remember seeing those, never realized they were actual pace cars.

Cool! I love this casting, and those are sweet paints.

Zach, I don't believe these are stock! The magic of V8 Supercars ;)

Those are awesome. The headlight tampos on the second one almost look real in the pic angle.

They at least appear to be way more stock than the cookie cutter vehicles we see in NASCAR! :lol:

I don't have a pic at the ready, but the actual vehicles were painted like this as HWs was the sponsor of the V8 Support Race of the GP.

Same here. I was tempted but I thought they were race cars and thought it was odd they were missing racing numbers. Live and learn!
