Christmas is over so it's time for new toys

EFF JAY

As time marches on, early classic Aussie treasures are getting thin on the ground. If you’ve always wanted an FJ Holden, but can’t seem to find a full-scale one, the crew at Supersonic Collectibles can help you out. This 1:64-scale model of the famous Holden is amazingly detailed and even features a number of options from back in the day, like the windscreen shade and mudflaps to name a few. Landing this Aussie classic iron lion in your den will
still give you change out of twenty bucks. supersoniccollectibles.com.au

ROLL UP ROLL UP

We all know when it is time for new carpet underfoot in your toy, the only place to head to is Tru-Fit carpets and vinyls. Their pre-cut carpet to suit almost every brand and model is second to none. However, if you want to have a go at doing it yourself, Tru-Fit also sells material off the roll. They call it ‘meterage off the rolls’ and you can get one-metre-wide loop pile plush and super plush pile carpet, as well as 1.8-metre, or six-foot in the old language, loop pile by the metre. Prices start at $35 per metre. trufitauto.com.au

TORRIE TEE

Not only is the early seventies remembered for some of Australia’s most iconic muscle cars, but also some of the best ad slogans to flog ’em. Remember, "Hey Charger?" For Holden’s XU-1 Torana it was "When You’re Hot You’re Hot." Available in three colours and seven sizes, this genuine HDT tee is made of 100 per cent 146GSM combed cotton. It’s pre-shrunk and won’t fade or lose shape. And it was designed and printed in Australia! Show ’em which is your favourite Holden. Cost $35. hdt.com.au

DATTO BACK HATCH

Didn’t the world sit up and take notice of Datsun when it whipped the covers off its 240Z, back in 1969. Sleek, fast and affordable, it was built to take on the establishment and blew them out of the water. If you are lucky enough to own one and you are after a new rear hatch door, All Muscle Car Parts are the ones to contact. These new reproduction hatches are ready to paint, re-hinge and drop in the hole left by the old one. Cost is $895. allmusclecarparts.com.au

PONY PIECE

On the cusp of the Mustangs 60th anniversary, Bradford Exchange has released this. An officially-licensed, Ford Mustang watch. It has a stainless-steel sports strap with red stitching, an official insignia, and each watch is numbered. The dial features the Horse and Bars logo and the two dials in the middle are based on the original Ford Mustang speedometer and show the local time and another adjustable time zone. Under them is a Candy Apple red hardtop with a white vinyl roof. Cost $299. bradford.com.au

CHAMPION CLOCK

This Champion Spark Plug Clock will look fabulous behind the bar or on the wall of any shed, and no doubt will lead to many conversations and a few arguments as well. It’s an exact replica of the original clock, promoting the biggest selling spark plug brand in the world. The ‘Time for a Champion Tune Up’ analogue clock measures 30cm x 46cm and only takes one AA battery to run it. It also has a large image of the famed plug on the face along with white hands and numbers. To nab yours for $150 head to. nostalgahighway.com.au
