Folden – 1/2 Ford 1/2 Holden

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.

You can find the trademe auction (while it exists) here.
