Phil December 15, 2024 2 min read

On today’s episode of Aussie Garage, we dive into a small yet impressive car collection that showcases the passion and craftsmanship of Jarrod and his dad. Together, they’ve rebuilt two of the three cars in this collection, blending dedication and skill to create automotive works of art. Let’s take a closer look at these stunning vehicles.

The HJ Premier: A Masterclass in Restoration

First up is Jarrod’s beautifully restored HJ Premier. With a vision of bringing this car back to its original glory, Jarrod and his dad meticulously sourced authentic parts and made use of what they had when necessary. This factory one-off build boasts:

Tuxedo Black Paint: A flawless, glass-like finish that is absolutely stunning.
308 Motor with Turbo 400 Gearbox and Salisbury Diff: True to its factory specifications.
GTS Wheels: Adding a touch of sporty elegance.
Interior Features: A woodgrain dash, long-grain seat covers, and door trims, all true to the original design.

The level of detail in this restoration is remarkable. From sourcing the correct hoses and brackets to achieving a finish that exceeds factory standards, the result is truly concourse-level quality. It’s often said that cars didn’t leave the factory looking this good—and this HJ Premier proves it.

The Mustang: A Teenage Dream Realized

The next gem in Jarrod’s collection is a classic Mustang with a unique backstory. Jarrod purchased this car at just 14 years old, and with his dad’s help, they rebuilt it into the immaculate vehicle it is today. Key highlights include:

BA Falcon-Inspired Blue Paint: A striking color that gives this classic a modern twist.
Factory Configuration Engine with Chrome Enhancements: A subtle blend of originality and flair, featuring a freshened-up engine with some added bling.
GT Grill and Wheels: Enhancing the car’s sporty aesthetic.
Interior Charm: Chrome knobs, a long speedo, and matching blue-painted interior metal create a cohesive and stunning look.

Adding to the Mustang’s allure is its fascinating history. This car was involved in a bank robbery in the United States, making it a fantastic conversation starter and a unique piece of automotive lore.

What’s Next?

While these two vehicles are undoubtedly impressive, there’s still one more car in Jarrod’s collection that we’ll reveal next week. Stay tuned for the next episode to discover the final piece of this incredible trio.
