Libero Pardini raced one in 1965 I think a have one or two pictures but again dreaded copyright gets in the way, there must be a way around this problem though....

He also attempted to set a land speed record on the Vernuek Pan in a special imported Polara...problem the car was too heavy and the salt sliced its tyres....and cleverly Chrysler SA didnt have spares...the race car did 135 mph though if I recall correctly...

the manifold used in that attempt - a special cross ram resides in the Valiant museum's office
