πŸ”₯ VEHICLE SPOTLIGHT πŸ”₯

Meet 69FST πŸ‘‘

Owned by Elite customer Chris, this stunning 1969 Fast Back Mustang Coupe is a true enthusiast-built machine that perfectly blends classic American muscle with modern engineering and performance.

Finished in sleek metallic grey with an aggressive stance and timeless Fastback styling, 69FST is a vehicle that captures attention everywhere it goes. From the clean body lines and carefully selected components to the attention to detail throughout the build, it's clear this Mustang is a labour of love.

Under the bonnet sits a Boss 260 paired with a 4 Speed BTR transmission, supported by a Castlemaine Rod Shop front and rear end package. Built by Chris himself, the combination delivered an impressive 420HP on PULP98 while maintaining the drivability and reliability needed to enjoy on the street.

What makes 69FST even more special is the owner behind it.

Chris is a retired engineer who spent many years working on Black Hawk helicopters and other aircraft throughout his career. His passion for engineering, precision and problem-solving is evident in every vehicle he owns and every project he undertakes.

A genuine car enthusiast, Chris has built an impressive collection of vehicles over the years and is always working on something new. When he's not in the shed tinkering with one of his projects, there's a good chance you'll find him dropping into the workshop for a chat, checking out what's happening, and sharing stories with the team.

It's customers like Chris that remind us why we love what we do. The friendships built through a shared passion for cars often become much more than customer relationships, and Chris has become a valued member of the Elite Family.

Every vehicle has a story, every build has a purpose, and every customer becomes part of the Elite Family.

Thank you Chris for being part of the Elite Family and for trusting us with 69FST.

πŸ”₯ VEHICLE SPOTLIGHT πŸ”₯

Meet GRUNTZ πŸ‘‘

Owned by Elite customer Chris, this stunning HSV Clubsport is the perfect combination of show-quality presentation and serious street performance.

Finished in eye-catching red and built to an exceptional standard, GRUNTZ is one of those vehicles that demands attention wherever it goes. From the immaculate paintwork and detailed engine bay to its aggressive stance and polished wheels, every part of this Clubsport reflects the pride Chris has in the vehicle.

Under the bonnet sits a tough Iron Block 6 Litre V8 paired with a ProCharged setup and 6 Speed Manual transmission, producing an impressive 750HP on PULP98. The result is a vehicle that not only looks incredible but delivers the performance to back it up.

What makes GRUNTZ stand out is its ability to bridge the gap between a show car and a genuine performance build. It's the kind of vehicle that turns heads at events, sparks conversations wherever it goes, and reminds us all why we fell in love with modified cars in the first place.

Over the years we've enjoyed looking after Chris. Seeing the care, attention and dedication that goes into maintaining GRUNTZ is a testament to the enthusiast behind the wheel.

Every vehicle has a story, every build has a purpose, and every customer becomes part of the Elite Family.

Thank you Chris for being part of the Elite Family and for trusting us with GRUNTZ.

πŸ”₯ VEHICLE SPOTLIGHT πŸ”₯

Meet THIRSTY πŸ‘‘

Owned by Elite customer Dax, this stunning Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Coupe is a true testament to classic American muscle and timeless styling.

THIRSTY underwent a comprehensive ground-up restoration while Dax was living in the United States, bringing this iconic Camaro back to an exceptional standard and preserving everything that makes these vehicles so special.

Powering THIRSTY is a tough 350 Chev V8 paired with a 4 Speed Manual transmission, delivering the raw driving experience that muscle car enthusiasts know and love. Supporting the package is a Holley Sniper 2 EFI system and Holley HyperSpark Ignition setup, helping this classic produce an impressive 400HP on PULP98.

With its unmistakable orange paintwork, aggressive stance and iconic Z28 styling, THIRSTY turns heads wherever it goes. Combining classic American muscle with modern fuel and ignition technology, it delivers the perfect balance of old-school character and modern drivability.

We've had the pleasure of getting to know Dax and share in his passion for performance vehicles. Seeing THIRSTY on the road today is a credit to the restoration that transformed this Camaro into the incredible vehicle it is now.

Behind every vehicle is a story, and behind every build is a passionate owner who appreciates the journey as much as the destination.

Thank you Dax for being part of the Elite Family and for trusting us with THIRSTY.

Built to be driven and enjoyed, CST19 is one of those vehicles that turns heads wherever it goes. Combining the iconic styling of the HSV GTSR Maloo with proven performance upgrades, it's a true representation of modern Australian horsepower.

Fallon is the owner of Creative Signs Townsville, a locally owned and operated business that has supported many of Townsvilles Automotive events.

Meet BLWN4X4 πŸ‘‘

Owned by Elite customer Ian, this impressive 2024 Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 is the perfect combination of luxury, capability and serious horsepower.

Under the bonnet sits a Walkinshaw 1500 Supercharger package, complete with a W2A Intercooler and full Walkinshaw Performance Exhaust System, delivering an incredible 600HP at the wheels.

Built to stand out both on and off the road, BLWN4X4 combines premium comfort with uncompromising performance, making it one of the toughest and most impressive Silverado builds we've had the pleasure of working on.

Ian is a former serving member of the Australian Defence Force, and we've enjoyed not only maintaining and upgrading BLWN4X4, but also spending time with Ian and his family at events and throughout their automotive journey.
