Dunnydoors.....



not my idea of a Sandman.

[.:4:.]

Nice vh (personal opinion on those is 15s or 16s suit the body better) but short rear bar so factory it'd be either a 202 or a thong slapper. Only the factory 308s had the long rear bar.

Never liked 70's and 80's cars with wheel bigger than 14 - 15in period correct sized rims.
Nothing worse than spotting a nice 70's van ruined with those stupid looking monster diameter rims.

Looks like a 58 Chevy Bel Air or Caddy.

edit 57 Caddy, mild chop ???

[onemanempire]

Spotted this immaculate AU XR6 today.. when I saw the "P" plate I was sure hoping that a grandad owns it, and he lost his license... rather than an 19 year old "P" plater who will no doubt bend it.

Now I know where the Concorde look of the 70's van craze came from.

[Citroënbender]

Mrs Wiz looks so young there!

Funny to think the van still has an iron block and recirculating ball steering, while the A310 was an alloy motor, mid mounted and R&P.

Nah, she was mid mounted too, back then, dunno about the van.

That’s because you’re using only one eye.

The white Falcon isn’t close enough to the car infront to be a Ranger.

Hi Guys,
This Wednesday 9th of October i was looking out into our car park at work and there i spotted an original Red Ford capri V6. I went out and had a look at it, it was like brand new not a mark on it and also had normal Rego plates on it also and the inside was just as good as the outside.

[olds]

Saw a Mitsubishi Cordia yesterday looked like a daily, had to google if it was a Starion or not
,getting old.

[whynot]

There is a tidy Cortina Mark 2 getting around my suburb the other day. But I don't think its 'orange' paint work came out until the Mark 3? Come to think of it, it has been awhile since I have seen any other Cortinas.

[onemanempire]

Spotted this on the way home from work Friday..
Didn't get to hear it, but I can say it did a good skid at 60 kays an hour..
Guess the rego plate says it all. Noice!
