also i am happy to be proved wrong, but the monaro was playing on an unlevel field. to my understanding all of the other nation cup cars were fairly close to what was available on the showroom floor. the monaro though never had a 427 at the time

There was a little mystery at the time, welcome to be corrected on this but I thought Holden said it was going to do a small batch run with the 427 I think for that particular race. In the end I suppose they did build it, a couple of years later.
