These are great models Nigels and I know you have a huge collection of these type of vehicles. Do you know how many you have so far?
Ahhh...Hooker Headers...... bring back memories for me. Back then, early 70's, there were two types of Headers the cheaper kind and the 'Tuned' kind. The tuned kind were the best for Horsepower and sound because each pipe was exactly the same length and deflection so each cylinder had the same back pressure. I wanted the best for my go-fast car so I bought a set of Tuned Hooker Headers and with a couple of straight through Thrush Mufflers (brand name) gave the car a deep throaty sound that no modern cars can duplicate.
Forgive the picture as its a shame that the 50 year old pictures have started to fade. Wish they had Clear Plastic Laminates back then.
