Playboy GTV6

Dad found this GTV6 while looking back on some old magazines before my time. 1983 october november edetion of Street Machine.

at the time it was owned by Rod Luck, editor for the motoring section of Australian Playboy. The article mentions that it is one of only two ever painted metalic black from the factory, the other one was improted to australia aswell but for the 'Play-mate of the year' award.

on the out side its got a few laser cut badges above the grill and side indicators and on the rear side windows, a 'nightrider' custom front spoiler, yokohama a008 treds [2\3 treded and 1\3 slick on the outside] and compomotive 2piece CX500, and a acrylic sunroof inssert with graduated tinting.

the interior has recaro mesh head seats and the same mesh heads adapted for the rear seats [think holden commodore SL E]. Momo 'Mystere' wheel, Eurovox Mcc2001 Quad-channel Stereo and a Sharp 6x6" full color TV

the grill is my fav. from what i understand its just 2 long black perspex covers with slots cut in for air to reach the engine. they also mention a set for production with clear sections for the head lights.

the car was lowered for the photo but raised afterwards so it only sits 3\4" lower than stock [note the high rearend]

the mags are 15" and have vented 4pots hiding behind them.

has anyone got anymore photos of the car or ever more info about it and where it is as i havent found anything on the net about it.
