Classic 1960s Australian Holden EK modified to be a high powered V8 drag racing car

---

Heavily modified V8 engined Australian EK Holden drag racing car. Produced in 1961, the EK became an Aussie motoring icon and classic, with many still restored today by keen enthusiasts. The use of an EK with an oversize drag racing V8 is a somewhat different approach. Western Australian driver, Sam Rhodes, is the man behind this car which has something of a local cult following.
