So we can put the whole green coupe vs 300+ thing to bed once and for all...
Link to article on the Arrow.
First two paragraphs under the heading 'Once Bitten, Twice Try'.
"A two-door AU Falcon coupe isn’t new to
Aussie muscle car fans. Most have already
seen the original [the green coupe] version built by Troy and
Clayton Hillier in modified car shows and
magazines. This was followed by last year’s
media frenzy over the Millard/AEC ‘300+’
two-door Falcon show car. Fact is, both cars
are one and the same.
The original Hillier car was snapped up for
the 300+ project which, apart from the original
body surgery, they had nothing to do with.
Arrow is actually what Troy and Clayton
planned to build had they been given the
300+ project to do from start to finish."
If you google for 'AEC' (who own Sprintex), 'Hillier' and '300+' you'll find a link to a non-existant page, but has the following text...
"...got a donor Hillier two-door Falcon to start..."
The link was on AEC's very own website.
Sprintex have a few links to articles on the 300+ project, including this one from Zoom mag which also mentions the Hillier link.

However, this article contradicts the first article, claiming the Hilliers were involved with top-level meetings about the 300+ (though they weren't...)
