Street Machine Magazine July 2025

STREET MACHINE JULY ISSUE ON SALE NOW!

THE July 2025 issue of Street Machine is hard to miss, what with the late Nigel Warr’s bright yellow, twin-turbo, billet Noonan LS-powered HQ Monaro plastered across the cover!

After losing Nigel in a tragic motorcycle accident, his family and friends banded together to finish off his dream Monaro build in his honour. They ended up with a show-quality street car, with the potential for 3000hp and six-second timecards. What an epic machine, and a fitting tribute to one of WA’s most prominent street machiners.

Rodney and Daniel Neindorf’s ’67 Plymouth Barracuda street-and-strip weapon is about as in-your-face as they come, with an incredible custom paintjob that harks back to the glory days of drag racing, and a nitrous-huffing, 611ci tunnel-rammed Hemi up front.

We head north – way north – for Northern Nats 9 at the picturesque Springmount Raceway and discover a vibrant event with an awesome variety of cars.

Then, at the polar opposite end of the country, we hit Tassie for the Hardtop Anniversary event, honouring one of the most iconic Aussie muscle cars of all time – Ford’s XA-XC hardtop – amongst some of the best roads and scenery Australia has to offer.

Radial legend Tim Cross has pieced together another street-and-strip toughie, this time a Ford Capri powered by the Blue Oval’s gargantuan Godzilla V8, topped with a Harrop blower. 

Jason and Sam Evans’s humpy is hands-down one of the most effortlessly cool rides we’ve featured this year. It’s exquisitely finished, beautifully engineered and powered by a screaming Holden six-pot.

Bruce Stephens’s classically styled XT tilly might look like a neat resto on a flash set of wheels, but beneath the facade lies a cutting-edge powertrain with modern Mustang muscle.

VW Beetle feature cars are few and far between in Street Machine, but every now and then, one comes along that knocks our socks off. Rob Downing’s epic Bug is one such example.

Who says vanning was a phase? Mick Coughlan is still at it with this super-sanitary, 540hp small-block HG.

You’ll find all this and more in the July issue of Street Machine, on sale now!
