Damien emailed me to let me know more about this car I've never seen or read about before (Thanks a bunch!) "It was common in the late 60's early 70's for slightly modified oz cars to be sold in South Africa
See wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_Monaro(South African market)
Some HT series Monaro 'GTS' coupes were exported to or assembled in South Africa from imported parts by General Motors South African (GMSA)at the Port Elizabeth assembly plant. Later the HG series Monaro was assembled and sold in SA badged as the Chevrolet SS.
(Suddenly I want one of these, it would be the only one around)
At this time GMSA had made a decision to market most of its products as Chevrolets. The Chev SS as it became known in SA was based on the HG Monaro with revised front styling unique to the SA model and incorporating four headlights and large turn indicators in the front edge of the fenders above the bumper. Most of the Monaro / Chevrolet SS Coupes assembled in SA were fitted with Holden 308 engines. The Chevrolet 350 in³ (5.7 L) engine was available as an option in the GMSA assembled Chevrolet SS.[
Some more info and brochures for the sa cars:

information from Damien ( Awesome! ) an Aussie with a great blog
http://onfourwheels.blogspot.com/ that has lots of Australian car show photography (expect a follow up post on that!)
Photo taken in 1922, hard rubber tire Scammel hauling Sunbeam racecar... bumpy ride on old country cobblestones
Photo from http://5window.tumblr.com/ I think, it might have been http://motomania.tumblr.com/ ... I can't recall.
(Actually this one is a "new" picture. It's of the Reelers c.c. out of LA, taken within the last 3 years. AJ Elias commented) Well it has an old vintage look, it fooled me!
Well one black and white photo had to find a good place to be posted. Not like anyone is going to complain.
These were both commisioned by Peter Mullins ( Mullins museum, new in the Los Angelos area http://musclemachinew.blogspot.com/2010/08/mullin-museum-is-finally-open-but-only.html )
I met Nicola at the Del Mar Concours and when I looked at these two photos I knew I had to post them, and share with you the beautiful artistic ability. See her gallery of automotive art at: http://nicolawood.com/gallery/gallery_page1.html 
For the previous post that had the information about this rare car:

I never know where or when I will find something unusual or interesting, something I've never seen before... like a one wheel trailer. They are in demand by VW people I was told by this new owner, he'd just got if off ebay
That the wood and plate are in such amazing great original condition is astonishing, the major frame piece has been repainted, but the wood wasn't touched
The reason this doesn't fall over (like a person on a unicycle) is the from cross member that is bracing the side to side load ( it's the black part at the bottom of the photo below
I found a copy of this full page PDF http://ads.simautomotive.com/PERFORMANCE/_PDF/_PDFS/Street_Rodder_Premium.pdf in Rodandcustom magazine and they've got me interested... now I just need to find a place to buy an issue
