1983 October/November edition 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 metallic black from the factory, the other one was imported to Australia as well but for the 'Play-mate of the year' award. On the outside its got a few laser cut badges above the grill and side indicators and on the rear side windows, a 'nightrider' custom front spoiler, Yokoyama A008 treads [2\3 treaded and 1\3 slick on the outside] and Compomotive 2 piece CX500, and a acrylic sunroof insert with graduated tinting. The interior had Recaro mesh head seats and the same mesh heads adapted for the rear seats [think holden commodore SLe]. Momo 'Mystere' wheel, Eurovox Mcc2001 Quad-channel Stereo and a Sharp 6x6" full color TV. The grill was 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 rear end] The mags are 15" and have vented 4pots hiding behind them. Along similar lines was a white GTV6 called the Andalucia GTV6. Ref: Dr Google.
