I love that colour combo,a mate of davids has that same car(a John Goss) sitting in his shed rotting away in Gunnedah,he used let David drive it all the time back in the day...lol...everytime we go to Gunnedah I always say I wonder if he sell it,but we never see him to ask....lol...were the ones with the blue john Goss as well???

good-ay all you good folks.
the site with answers to all your goss needs is http://johngossspecial.com/ i have been a forum member for a number of years and have always hankered after a blue goose! julz i also know of one sitting in a shed but funds and a owner who does not know if he wants to sell has stopped me (my find is just south of kingaroy) a good example was resently on car sales for $55k.

Looking good Grant. Can't wait to see it out and about. Do you know who owns the one along the Oxford Highway near the nw Coles? Gussing it is a Goss by the colour through the car cover , but never seen it uncovered.
