Jason Kouzoukas' HDT collection

When I was a young lad, my mum’s first car was a VC HDT Brock Commodore, that’s been in the family ever since. It was given to me for my 16th birthday.

It’s priceless to me. I grew up as a kid jumping in the back seat, getting dropped off at school or soccer training, so it’s sentimental.

I have three daughters and they all love cars, so I couldn’t part with it. Now I’ve got one each for them!

All I’ve done to the HDT is fit the bigger wheels. Everything else is stock standard.

The 05 tribute is recent acquisition – I had the opportunity and grabbed it. I put the Group A VK Scheel interior in it, big 19-inch Aeros to suit the era, and all the stickers are Brock and Perkins from Bathurst 1982.

The Director tribute is a bit of a toy. It has a 355 stroker in it, Turbo 350 transmission with a 4000 stall converter and a nine-inch. She’s about 450 at the rear wheels, which I think is more than enough for the street.

I love throwing the family in the cars and going for a drive – the girls will pick a car and off we go.
