A few years back I was sniffing around at Ferrari 400i models (before the prices went stratospheric) and saw one in almost that colour - obviously a repaint. Probably full of rust and bog but I still regret not snagging one - a personal nod to Daft Punk’s Electroma. Think they’d go well with a modern EFI system and GVOD.

What is the white 67-ish American hardtop in the last 90 seconds or so, of Auto Addiction’s latest ‘Ring video? It has taillights a bit like the HJ-HZ Statesman.

Speaking of LTD's a BA LTD for sale on main drag in Kapunda Priors automotive, doesn't appear advertised anywhere and i have no connection with the seller. I took a quick look as it's a good looking unit and i briefly got excited but if BF i'd have had more interest just for the six speed with the 5.4 given my primarily country kms :( 146000km nice.

Just posting in case any locals are looking and rare to see a LTD at all never mind in what looks like excellent shape wheels/lowering/exhaust only apparent mods.

Saw 5 or 6 Leyland P76s yesterday heading from Kilcoy to Woodford. They all looked pretty tidy. No photo as I was driving.

Lots and lots of various hotrods passing through town over Easter, coming and going from Bendigo Hotrod meet.

As much as I like them. If I see another 50's chopped Mercury with flames, I'll scream.

I was too busy trying to read the ad through the fence but i think it's a trick of shine/shade and its lightning strike. I had same combo with my BA lightning strike and silver Simmons looked...way too much silver and blendy.

Interesting spot up in Hornsby the other day. AU 2 or 3 wagon in black with SR decals and styling. Now that would have to be pretty rare. Seemed well-kept.
