Robnells were top-shelf...

My research has lead me to understand that there are some 80-90 odd cars and the better handeling Robnells were the later builds with the common-whore, Ooops... I mean commodore rear ends.

The chassis geometry changed over time, including the front end to accommodate the larger 4.6lt ford engines. I think this happen near chassis 40-50odd.

Others are probably better placed to give more accurate details, of build numbers, chassis, engines, and changes etc...


A Robnell was one of 2 options I was seriously considering flogging off my hard earned cash... Until option 3 conveniently came up...

If it were me and money was no object - I'd look for:

1) a Big block 385 Robnell and re-furb.
or
2) a 4.6lt and re-do the motor to a coyote 5lt (same dimensions).
or
3) Stroke the crap out of a windsor... I hear whispers there are some 408 Robnells running around



Either way each to theirhis own, but as far as I'm concerned, is a good call. Even the bad ones are good! Its all relative.
