The Folden
The
Rock's Drive show announcers, Robert Taylor and Jono Pryor were
fed up with the ongoing battle between their listeners over who
is mightier - Ford or Holden. Their solution? Create a car from
scratch, taking the best bits from both camps. The Rock
introduces, The Folden. After 3 months, totalling over 800 man
hours, involving 2 dozen or so businesses and upwards of 70
tradespeople, resulting in more than a handful of strained
relationships, and an approximate spend of between
$85,000-$95,000, it's finally completed and available for you to
bid on. The Folden is front half 1969 Ford Mustang, back half HQ
Holden, the paint job is gun metal grey with orange racing
stripes, Foose Coronet mag wheels and powered by a 302ci Ford
engine.
Proceeds from the auction of The Folden will go to the NZ Mental
Health
Foundation
for Out Of The Blue, an organisation set up to help combat
depression in men.
The comments and feedback from listeners has been very
polarising.
“Mate this car shouldn’t have been made! It’s
going against Mother Nature her self. Fords cannot compare to
Holdens they just don’t go together I live and breathe Holdens
all my life. I and a lot of other people in this world hate
Fords [sic],” reads one post on the Folden forum.
