Norm beechey was the original Stormin' Norman! Well before General Norman Schwarzkopf, and just as fearce.
He was one of my first TV heroes. Him, and The Thunderbirds team. My brother must have thought so too, because he came home one day with his new Monaro, V8. Well, it was new for him, anyway.

I once had an FJ sedan, like the one you photographed. It looked fantastic. Always loved the lines of the FX & FJ Holdens.
Mine had a 138 grey motor, 'stock' except for some head work, SUs, bit of a rebore, extractors, and supposedly ported. Maybe jot so stock, come to think of it. The previous owner did all that work, then decided to keep the original '3 on the tree' box. Why would you do that??? Body roll in that car was horrendous, and it handled like a cow, but I loved that old thing. Only ever applied armourall to the bench seat ONCE. It was the catalyst to me fitting seat belts though!
