Out in the van, passing a 77' HX LE in perfect condition on Winton straight, we both gave each other the thumbs up and nod of appreciation.

A two door purple Gemini, tootling down to the shops.
A parked 4-door Leone, in that dark beige Subaru colour.

Just spent a week in the Great Southern, surprised to see so many H series vans and utes on the road. All honest originals in solid condition and used daily by the looks of it.

Spotted a gold XY Falcon GT, closely followed by a petite XL Falcon sedan. One a muscular brute, the other a delicate beauty.

Saw an ea gl sedan today. Lowered on 15 inch snowflakes and in original condition, so a little beat up but not bad for its age.

One of my good mates ol man had one, on one of those great late 70's world of the free nights my mate threw me the keys to be the driver strangley. Christ giving a 18yr ol young hoon was testing the mateship. I gave it a right royal flogging - that 6cyc went damn hard I was impressed, was a good looking Datto back then.

I paid ~$2k for that car - which had Pacemakers, high flow cat and 2.5" exhaust with magnaflow mufflers, lowered, professionally installed sound system, full momo interior, had less than 50,000kms on the rebuilt engine and the paint etc was flawless. Oh, the folly of that day. Let's be real, the car was nice but I'm just glad I didn't kill somebody else in my stupidity. I expect to pay 10x what I paid for that car but it'll be worth it. I actually prefer the eb/eb2 sxr6 because (call me crazy) but I'm not a massive fan of the twin lights on that bodyshape - they look amazing on the EF/EL/AU though. |

FYI.......All LE's are Maroon.
Did it have the original Honeycomb wheels ? Seen a couple with aftermarket mags, they just don't look right to me. ![]()

Saw an original unrestored John Goss Special XB today.
Can't remember the last time I saw one driving on the road. It was a green one.
