I would have thought that if you're dropping that kind of money an extra $1k would be pocket change?

Watched the dude and enforcer last night and although they were either playing clueless or are ,but that aside.there is no changing the fluids and a quick cleanup and drive on that thing.with the boot rusted out ,interior eaten out and who knows what else this car needs a full rebuild.anybody who has worked on these cars know if the rust u can see is bad ,what u cant is going to be a lot worse.

I had a dream that I won the lottery and bought a beautiful mansion with hardwood floors and a huge outdoor gas stove and island and a walk through car port with automated car wash.
Then I woke up. |

Apparently someone from SA was the winning bidder. Maybe the winning bidder was from Munno Para

And so it was that the Queensland Terror Rat (rattus bananabendus) was introduced to South Australia, decimating the population of native hopping mouse and eradicating the endangered scroted pardalotes.

shoit and heres silly me living in Lincoln, forgetting all about Hagens masterpiece, rest assured its not usually in the shed photographed. one would need to be a mix of Hudini, Al Capone, and a few others to gather a look at it.
Mind you Easter next year if this Covid has gone we will be having the Teakle Auto Sprint back again and Hagen will have this on display plus racing his everyday black one.

Hey everyone,
I was out at Grays Online Brisbane yard today and as I was driving out I saw an XB coupe parked up (but not listed) like around the side. Jumped out of my car (I was literally driving out) and had a look, as I was a Manager or even Owner came and chatted with me. They were going to take photos of it and list it I think he said soon. Anyway its a really rare one apparently, he had a heap of paperwork on it that claims this was one of only two 427's out of the factory. Unfortunately it no longer had the 427 in it, it was given a GT 351 (his words). It was a Ford executives car and when he sold it they took the 427 out. Something along those lines. It was in pretty rough shape but not diabolical, better than chicken coop. Had VIC plates with it XB 000 or something like that. Anyway I'm sure we'll see it listed soon on Grays Online. Coupsta |
