BUILT NEARLY 45 YEARS AGO, TREVOR CASS'S RENOWNED, TROPHY-WINNING 'STARFIRE' EH STILL LOOKS JUST AS SHARP TODAY

EVERY INCH A STAR

IF NOT for the Geoff Paradisepenned feature it received in the December '81-January '82 issue of Street Machine, you'd be hard-pressed to believe Trevor Cass's ultra-classy EH was finished way back in 1978. And you might think that it's probably undergone a rebuild or freshen-up in the 40-odd years since. Well, strap in for this: Other than a couple of minor paint touch-ups in 2016, Trevor's EHdubbed 'Starfire' - remains exactly 'as was'.

It's the same car that dragged home a cabinetful of silverware from events like the South Australian Hot Rod & Custom Show and the Victorian Hot Rod Show. Awards included Top Exhibition, Top Engine Bay, Top Paint and Top Street Machine. At the 5th Street Machine Nationals in Canberra in 1982, it scored Top Sedan and Best -Engineered. Check the windscreen sticker!

I've taken good care of it, says a very understated Trevor. It's been driven in the rain probably less than 10 times since 1978. Yes, some of the styling - like the blue Cobra inserts in the HR bucket seats - is not something I'd do now, but I've resisted the urge to re-do the car, as it's quite a time capsule. Other than the 17-inch billet wheels and the side mirrors, I haven't changed anything.
