New HDT Owner To Revive Brock Holden Commodores


It’s been a year since Holden racing legend Peter Brock lost his life in a tragic car accident at the Targa West rally in Western Australia last September. Fortunately, his legend will continue thanks to Peter Champion, a 53-year-old Queensland mining contractor and Brock enthusiast who bought the Holden Dealer Team (HDT produced Brock's racing machines as well as a number of modified high-performance road versions of his racing cars). Australian car site "Drive" sat down and had a talk with Peter Champion to discuss his future plans for Brock's road- and race-cars. Champion revealed that he intends to bring back the HDT cars in a modern version. -Continued after the jump

Peter Champion told Drive, “Our plan is to base the cars on a VE SS. We won't touch the cars mechanically, because we don't want to void the warranty, but if customers want performance modifications, we will look at it.”

We'd like to revive the look of all four Group A Commodores and we're working on bodykits and talking to wheel suppliers as we speak. We also want to make sure there is a good supply of parts for the original Brock Commodores” Drive’s artist drew up a few impressions of how future HDT Commodores could look.
