That would be it Wot.
They probably stole the rest of the car and left the nose cone behind.

Best wheels ever!!!
There were a couple of different aftermarket fronts made for them in the olden days Woodsy.
One of them used a Commodore grill.(shudders)..

I think that is called the Trans Am front.
The Mad Max ones are the Arcadipane fronts.

Torana Designer, Phil Zmood did the "Monza" fronted LH. He nick named it "The Green Lizard" cause he likes Green. Was to be a GM Rotary powered show car but when the GM Rotary engine was scrapped so was the show car.

Would love to see it, if you have
